The 270 Winchester Short Magnum or 270 WSM is a short, unbelted, magnum cartridge created by necking down the .300 Winchester Short Magnum and fitting it with a .277 caliber bullet. The correct name for the cartridge, as listed by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI), is 270 WSM, without a decimal point.
When it was introduced, the 300 WSM sported a new case that showed a lot of promise for uses in other calibers. In 2002 Winchester introduced new cartridges in its Winchester Short Magnum family, including the 7 mm WSM and 270 WSM. This new .270 cartridge was the third commercial .270 ever produced, and the first one in 60 years.
The 270 WSM is an improvement over the older 270 Winchester providing higher velocity with bullets of the same weight, and thus a flatter trajectory and more energy. Velocities tend to be about 250 ft/s (76 m/s) faster, in a cartridge that is shorter and can therefore be used in a shorter action for a more compact rifle if desired.
The .325 Winchester Short Magnum, commonly known as the 325 WSM is a 8mm caliber rebated rim bottlenecked centerfire short magnum medium bore cartridge. The cartridge was introduced by Winchester Ammunition in 2005.
The name of the cartridge is a misnomer as the bullet diameter is .323 in (8.2 mm). Introduced at the 2005 Shot Show in Las Vegas, NV, it is the largest member of the Winchester Short Magnum family of cartridges. The .325 WSM was intended for the hunting of medium and large bodied thin skinned dangerous and non-dangerous big game animals of Africa, Asia, Europe and North America.
Since the introduction of the .300 WSM in 2000 there had been speculation that Winchester and Browning would release further cartridges based on the cartridge case of the .300 WSM. Then in 2001 Winchester announced the release of the .270 WSM and the 7mm WSM cartridges. The common wisdom indicated that Winchester would release a .33 caliber (8.38 mm) cartridge based on the .300 WSM case. However, Winchester surprised the shooting public in 2002 when they introduced the .223 WSSM and the .243 WSSM based on a further shortened WSM case followed by the .25 WSSM in 2003.
.17 Winchester Super Magnum, is a rimfire rifle cartridge developed by the ammunition company Winchester in 2012. It descended from the .27 caliber nail gun blank by necking down the blank case to take a .17 caliber (4.5 mm) bullet. Initial loadings will be a 20 grain bullet, delivering muzzle velocities around 3000 ft/s .
Winchester, in conjunction with Savage, introduced this cartridge at the 2013 SHOT Show.
The brass case for this round is roughly 50% thicker than the 17 HMR, and the max average internal pressure is 33,000 psi, versus the 17 HMR's 26,000 psi.

you don't get to tell your heart how to feel
it does what it wants when it wants to
all that you can do is pray that it lands in the hands of somebody true!
and you don't get to tell your heart where to stay
no it will not obey cause it knows the truth
let's not confuse it! you try to prove it wrong
but the heart has a mind of its own

cause if you run, you'll be feeling so alone
before you know, you'll be picking up the phone

you can't fight, feeling such a mess
your hear decides, but it's you that second guest
cause the heart has a mind of its own!
you don't get to fall at the perfect time
for someone love is ending, for someone else is just beginning
someone is gotta cry, someone needs to know why
but the heart tells no lies!

when it breaks like rock through shatter glass
all you can ask is that the pain moves fast
one day this too, shall last!
by know i hope you know, it has a mind of its own!
