    Yea, from what I’ve been reading, the 270 is not that fussy when it comes to seating depth. I don’t have any factory rounds here but I’ll check OAL on a couple of reloads that I have that feed and...

    Handle is just short of bench. These things are good for up to 50BMG but it makes for a long stoke!!! Needed to push it as far forward as pos to raise it up from the bottom. Changed it as well today....

    I’m sure I mentioned a 260 somewhere on here but it generally likes to stay in closet with all the other 6.5’s. It’ll come out one day when it finally realises it’s really just a 270 in denial.

    Thanks MD, Husky, and others for laying it out clearly and concisely. When you’re new to something this is exactly what’s needed from experienced hands and taking the time to write it out is...

    Great, thanks for the reassurance. I’m trying not to over think it initially while still making sure I develop a deeper understanding of the process. I chose my 270 to start with as I have been...

    Yea, I’m used to making do with what I have living remotely but the one bit of extra kit I have is a #2 shell holder so no biggy if I have to modify one for the 270 leaving me a spare for the 260....

    Thanks for the useful feedback. I do recall now the gunsmith saying that it was on the limit of minimum headspace. Will go over it again tomorrow with fresh eyes. Didn’t think I’d strike a problem at...
