[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 979529, member: 48043"] I've seen it both ways. I have one set of dies loading both of my 270's. On the flip side I don't think my 7stw ammo would even chamber in my Dad's rifle. The 270's look like they were cut with the same reamer; even the throat is virtually identical and they are different brands. My Pop's stw is a 700 with a factory bbl.; my rifle is a semi custom with an aftermarket bbl.. If your dimensions are similar, seat a bullet for each rifle and label it so you have a pedro to setup your seater die, then use the same fl die for each. If the chambers differ by more than a couple of thou., then you need different dies for each or a shim setup. I'd go with the dies myself. [/QUOTE]
