22 Hornet x 6.5mm ??

[Oso250]

While cleaning out some shop stuff, I found some brass headstamped 22 Hornet but it is almost straight walled and is shorter than regular 22 Hornet,just under 1.3 inches.
I will try to post pics a little later.
Anyone know what this may be?

There is the .270 REN, a handgun silhouette cartridge made for the Contender pistols. There might be a 6.5 version, I don't know, but that's about the only thing I can conjure up at the moment. I didn't really follow that sort of thing.

Trim length for .270 REN is 1.280. Most likely what you have. I've shot a 10" TC barrel in that caliber for about 20 years in Field Pistol class at silhouette matches. I shoot the .277 90gr Sierra HP at 1550 fps. Great cartridge for its intended use.

Dave, I bet it is the 7mm.
Do you want the cases?
I have 75.
I will send them to you for shipping. $8
Thanks

Thanks for the offer, but I don't need them. I have about 160 cases that will last me for the duration. Handgun silhouette is almost dead and at 75 years old I probably won't be shooting it much longer. Maybe someone else can use them.

Thanks. Best to you
