[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2588528, member: 69192"] No I didn't polish the chamber only the brass. If the cases are really dirty, I will sometimes hand-chuck the case into the drill press and use Nevr-Dul on them. There have been a number of replies on here suggesting numerous ideas and thoughts. As was written in some very thoughtful replies, the only one who can make the decision is you. It took me about six-months of research online and on this forum to finally make my mind up. The [I][U]one thing that I did keep in mind was that I had always wanted a "wildcat" cartridge [/U][/I]and that is what I built. I can tell you that I could have gone with a .270 WSM and had just about what the .270 AI is, only without the extra work of fire forming, annealing, and cost for the custom dies. The .270WSM and the .270 AI are about the same ballistically, the .270 AI has a slight advantage over the .270 WSM, but comes with the extra processing for dies. Again it's your decision to make, and this is a good place to start before making that decision. Good luck with what you decide and with what you build. [/QUOTE]
