[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1616459, member: 69192"] Would you help me out with this. Are you suggesting that I full-length size my .270 Winchester brass, then turn the necks, fire form the brass in the .270 Ackley Improved chamber and then send the fired brass to the die maker? If I do this it will it eliminate the need for a bushing die? My concern is turning the necks when the brass is .270 Winchester, and then fire-forming the brass in the .270 AI chamber, isn't the datum line where the neck meets the shoulder going to change? I am asking the question because I cannot find any data or information on the .270 AI except for one drawing that is so small in print that I cannot read the print. My understanding is that all of the dimensions stay constant, except that the shoulder is pushed out to 40` and the sides of the case are straightened out. I called my gunsmith in an attempt to get a blueprint of the reamer, he said that he does not have one. There's not a whole lot of information out there on this cartridge. I too like the .280 AI, it's just that I wanted something unique and a wildcat to play with. [/QUOTE]
