[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 1575067, member: 12"] Get the reamer print first!! Forget names of dies as people are advocating. In wildcats, fit comes first, not the name. Find out which die will work with your chamber THEN go with that die. I would start with Whidden. I will say this on the hydro forming dies having had a couple. IMO they still do not negate the need for final fireforming, so go ahead and fireform to start with. Saves time and money. Just seat the bullet long where it touches and is a slight tight chambering with the bullet into the rifling. Little lube on case shoulders and fireform. It helps if you have a fireform barrel IF you are worried about barrel life. If your old barrel is 270, just have the smith chamber it also. [/QUOTE]
