This is a product of NRA pistol silhouette competition and was originated by Vern Juenke. It is the .22 Hornet necked up to take .270 caliber bullets. The cartridge produces minimal recoil, yet is capable of knocking down the NRA targets.

There is no SAAMI pressure limit for the .270 R.E.N. The maximum loads listed below are approved by the manufacturer of the Merrill single shot pistol, Jim Rock.
