[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2591290, member: 27307"] I built a couple of these quite a few years ago. It was nothing to get excited about and it fell off the map after the initial excitement. If you really want to make a .270 cartridge in the .308 Win. family and keep your costs and wait time under control, I'd use the 6.5 Creedmoor case to start with. Lots of excellent brass to choose from and you can find bushing dies to modify for the .270 bullets. Yes there is some work to be done for a chamber reamer but so is the Redding. This is a short explanation and not meant to be a treatise on making wildcat cartridges. Something for you to look into and consider. Better brass and better case design right from the factory. Enjoy! ;) [/QUOTE]
