Thread: Wtb . 270 dies

Looking at getting into reloading , father in law just brought a hornady kit . So in the market for some die for my 270

If your loading long projectiles like ELDX OR Bergers get the hornandy dies and the extra insert for eldx projectiles.
I bought the lee kit and had to get the insert machined out by gunworkswas about $15, not a big issue but it does mean if I ever decide to load standard length projectiles I'll need to buy another insert for the seating die.

@dannyb I stilll had issues with the ELD seating stems, running a slightly compressed load it was pressing a ring around the projectile. Only dies that worked for me was the Redding ones with VLD seater.

Bad timing, I sold my 270 dies last week...

Have a heap of projectiles and cases. You are interested send me a PM.

Got these old RCBS dies $50.00

Pm inbound @257weatherby .
Can anyone point me in the right direction in terms of powder and projectile. Was reading a thread the other week with good info from @Ryan_Songhurst @dannyb @Mooseman but cant seem to find it

Cheers!

Either Berger 150g or eldx 145g and this powder https://www.gunworks.co.nz/shop/item/adi-ar2213sc
Should see you right, what rifle specs ? What intended use ?

i have some ar2213sc powder if you want a bit to try some

Agree with staring with ar2213sc, very good powder from 270, especially given your 24" barrel.

Projectiles suggested above are good also 150gr SST and 140gr AB. Bullet choice depends somewhat on what u are shooting at.

Model 70 270 , need to double check but I'm sure its 24inch barrel with dpt suppressor . Tried googling twist rate and came up with 1:10.

It's my only rifle so is used on reds tahr and chamois

If you cross my palm with a little extra silver, not only will you get a good die set, I just happen to have some 2213 and a variety of pills to sample, and starting points for loads. I am also Model 70 .270 . Your pm didn't turn up.
