The .270 Weatherby Magnum cartridge was developed by Roy Weatherby in 1943 and was the first belted magnum to be offered to the public when he open his business in 1945.
In 1945, Roy Weatherby shortened the 300 H&H Magnum, blew out the body, necked it down to accept a 270 bullet and gave hunters a flatter shooting, harder hitting 270. Ideal for long-range, medium size game.
