[QUOTE="thatguyshm, post: 834258, member: 69989"] I do not have virgin brass, it is all once fired from my friends separate 270. The once fired fit with no problem. I have been stumped on this all day, and have grown wary of it. I am literally cursing the firearm as it sits on its bipod in the middle of my living room floor. Fire formed brass from a separate rifle fits perfectly. Smooth as glass. Once full length resizing, no go. I spoke to my father quickly tonight, as it was rather late, and he suggested backing the die off .020-.030" off the shoulder. It makes sense, as every other aspect measures perfectly. I was wondering if anyone had any kind of repeatable way to measure the shoulder angle? I gave one more hail mary and tried about .120" off the shoulder, as opposed to the .010-.015 I have been running. His only advice to me was that the .270 is extremely finicky when it comes to neck resizing. I am case resizing to about .220" off the bottom of the case. I have always been taught to size the neck as far as possible, but have never loaded for the cursed .270. I load for .30-06 and have no problem from 155-200 gr rounds, so this is driving me batty. Does anyone have a good sizing length for the .270? Also, as I KNOW I am over thinking this, what would be the best way to fix the 100 or so cases that I have sized, trimmed, chamfered/deburred to fit a different neck angle? I am going to try to shim up a case tomorrow until the neck angle is also formed in my dies tomorrow, as ruining another case doesn't matter a bit to me at this point. I have NEVER been so frustrated with loading as I am right now. I have die formed 7mm RM brass to 257 WBY with less frustrations. Thank you both for your responses, and I hope I addressed them. 1. I can't find virgin brass. So no help there. 2. Resized without any other case prep does not allow easy chambering, but forced can get some brass in. When I mike it, it comes out around 3.348"ish I belive. 3. Haven't tried shimming yet, next step. 4. Going to try backing it off until only half the neck is sized and go down by .010"s or so until perhaps it will work. PS, I hate 270 winchester. [/QUOTE]
