The Ren was a 270. Headed to Cody now, will get back with catalog date for you. It was very short. I saw one listed someplace the other day, last wed. I believe (GB I think).

The 270 REN was listed as a 10" (only) 1990 and 1991. Era would be early 90's. I understand it 's a 22 Hornet expanded to 270, then quick burner w/cream of wheat & filler to expand it straight wall. Might need a little trim to square the neck edge, champher in and out, then ready to load. It was mostly designed to be a silly-wet round. Just two years, so it wasn't exactly a hot item and didn't last long. The Merrill was another pistol that was chambered for it. This what ya needed, Jimmy?
