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.

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

come to the dark side and get a 7mm Rem Mag
Just got back to town and measured the barrel , it's only 21 inches without the suppresor. Does this make much of a differance ?
AR2209 might be a better choice for the shorter barrel.
not suggesting your wrong but no issues with my 22" barrelQuote:

I am shooting a 22” Howa barrel using 145gr ELDX and AR2209 and RCBS F/L dies. Shooting well with an SD of 9 (first batch of rifle loads ever) so I am happy with the combo. I am only getting 2838fps but my load is definitely not hot. I stayed well on the safe side of pressure due to my experience so far![GLOW][/GLOW]
