Forming 270 brass from 30-06

[joe-nwt]

I guess you would call my CFSC instructor my "mentor", and he says that he doesn't like making .270 out of 30-06 because he's afraid someone may read the datastamp on the brass and use the ammo in the wrong rifle.

Let's start at the beginning shall we?

No one should be shooting his 270-made-from-30-06 ammo except him.

Silly excuse on his part, right?

Had this guy who always pestered me to load his 30-06 shells for him. he never ever payed for anythjing so one year he came over with his 30-06 shells wanting me to reload for him yet again, he didn't even bring a beer for after. So he sat there unbeknownst while I resized his 30-06 brass in a 270 die and loaded em up some nice 150 gr. .277 spitzers. That fall he couldn't hit anything with his faithful 30-06, traded it off in disgust and got some magnum, fortunately I didn't have dies for it.

Agreed, but he's a CFSC instructor, his job is to warn you about stupid people.

His job is to instruct the CFSC.

Sitting on my bench is a 45acp case with a 30-06 headstamp on it. I made it about 10 years ago. Am I stupid? I can tell you I learned a lot from doing it. One, it's a lot of work for a 45acp case. Not practical at all. But I did learn something about case structure of a rifle case vs a pistol case. Was anyone harmed by my adventure? Nope.

People need to show a bit of initiative and try things instead of running to an internet forum for the answer. They would learn far more, IMHO.
