Thread: .270 Seating Die Modified??

I also have a .270 RCBS seating die. So what Im thinking is that my precision engineer mate could modify the top end of the .270 die and fit the Hornady micrometer, given that .270 is 6.85mm anyway

Any thoughts??

Sorry Bos,
Can't recommend that. With due respect to your precision engineering mate what you would have is a cobbled together die that you could not trust. Best swallow hard and get the correct die if that is what you want. Could save a lot of disappointment in the long run.
