Just had a long chat with an old pal at Winchester ammo this afternoon (NO, you skeptics, he's NOT a floor-sweeper — he's one of the management wheels!). ¦o)
Asked him about the conjecture out here that Winchester had modified the .348 Winchester case to come up with the new short magnum.
No, he told me, the new short magnum is 100% brand new, designed from scratch, NOT based on any other case. He cited the origin of the rumors — an idle conjecture by a writer-editor whom I happen to know, who gets a lot of things wrong.
My pal is sending me a dimensioned drawing, so I'll be able to provide the authentic, authorized dimensions one of these days.
