Any .270 WSM owners/reloaders?

[Doug]

There is no sense putting this in the EE forum, it will get lost within minutes. My smith needs a few dummy rounds of .270 WSM. If I had dies and brass I would make them for him. Dummies need to be close to factory specs, so would need to be either new or full-length re-sized, unprimed, with bullets seated to regular factory length.

If anybody can help out with five or six such rounds, please contact me. Since I am asking this as a FAVOUR, not as an EXCHANGE transaction, I can't offer to pay you. But I could do you a FAVOUR in return, wink wink, nod, nod.

Thanks folks!

Doug

You gonna have a contest with the short mag and your 270 weatherby Doug?

 

[Doug]

Back to john-brennan, seeing as they are dummy rounds they can go by post. If you can make them, I will look after postage and/or find a favour for you. I do have a lot of favourable brass and favourable bullets and other favourable bits and pieces........

Back to salty, nope, I am not personally interested in this cartidge at all at this point. And you and I both know that the .270 Wby will wax this newcomer's butt, right!?!? (And for other folks, don't bother confusing the issue with facts!!!!!)

Measure COL.

Pull bullet

Dump powder

pop primer, or decap with a decapping pin that is screwed all the way out of another die.

Reinsert bullet.

 

[Doug]

Yes Gatehouse, I could do that if I had any ammo............

And the smith could buy dummies if there were any available through gunsmith supply businesses, which seems not yet to be the case...........

So the easiest solution is to cast the request upon the waters of our colleagues here at Gunaholics Central............

[Doug]

Looks like I have a FIRM OFFER of a favour, so I think we can stand down on this little quest. Waiting to hear back for sure...........

I knew the CGN community would come through! BTW I guess I neglected to mention that my smith is also on the board as "smoji." VERY good guy, and a hell of a good smith.
