[QUOTE="Dan B, post: 101262, member: 367"] I also have the .30 Gibbs...getting 3100 w/ 165gr Hornady IL's from a 25.5" tube. Dropped a deer at 445yds a couple years ago....bang---FLOP! Been thinking about the .270 Gibbs...as I have an AMPLE supply for 140gr BTSP in .277" and my 'smith has all the Gibbs reamers. Best way to form cases is neck up then size in the Gibbs die to form a secondary shoulder to headspace against. I neck my .30-06 cases to .338 then size in the .30 die. For the .270 you could use .280 brass...I would use good 30-06 brass and just size in the .270 Gibbs die. [/QUOTE]
