[QUOTE="cape cove, post: 1572853, member: 95503"] I don't believe you would be making a mistake with any of the die makers you mentioned for work out to 300 yds. I have used all except the Whidden and get good results although I am partial to Forster. According to what I have read on other sites Whidden is also a great die. In any case I believe you will need custom dies if your cartridge is the 270 AI then all should be do a great job. If it were a standard cartridge I would recommend a Redding body die to size the body and bump the shoulder back and a Lee collet die to do your neck. This really cuts down on case neck run-out. The seating die that comes with the collet die set is a dead length bullet seater which I find is the best seater that comes with standard die set. You may even be able to use a 270 Win collet die set for your 270AI. I use my 25/06 collet die to size the necks of my 257 Weatherby mag and it works great. This would have to be checked out.
