[QUOTE="41mag, post: 124696, member: 3804"] RUM, I am using the dies which Kirby had made up for the .270 AM and were purchased with the rifle. I can measure the Rem. cases before and after and let ya know what they are if that helps. I haven't gotten any of the Nosler cases yet so can't give anything that way. I have also found that after the first fireing, that just a skim trim on the outside of the necks really tunes up the cases and loads. I only take enough off to clean up the neck so that I get just over 3/4 or so of a full diameter trim. Roy, The only other load I am shooting besides Wildcats, uses the 150 Nolser Solid Base, and is 98grs of 872 and a Fed 215. These are in Rem 7mm RUM cases which are neck sized for fireforming. I haven't tried the 869 with them as the 872 just works so well. I am getting just over 3450fps, and very consistant spreads of around 16 - 18 fps. For a fireform load, that consistantly groups close to 1" @ 500yds, I am not overly concerned with getting much more out of it. It should make a great load to work on a deer or hog with out to around 800 in of itself. Hopefully I will find out in the next few weeks. [/QUOTE]
