[QUOTE="cstilt, post: 316068, member: 19720"] When I did my 270 I went through the lot of brass I had bought until I found one that wasn't as uniform as the rest. Then I cut that piece of brass down the neck to just past the shoulder on each side. That way I could put a bullet in the case and still have it seat somewhat easily. Once I'd done that it was just a matter of putting a bullet in the case by hand, being sure of seating it extra long, and smoking the bullet with my trusty Zippo. Carefully chamber the round and measure the OAL after you eject the cartrige. I did this a few times with a couple bullets and took and average of the readings. I thought this part was crazy, but it was repeatable. If I tried to use the marker like I've heard people say, I had the bullets stick in the lands a decent bit. I put oil on the bullet and this helped some, but it was hit or miss with many still sticking. When I smoked the bullet with a lighter, almost none of the bullets stuck. [/QUOTE]
