I'm going to try coyote hunting after deer season and need some ammo. Mould choices for .270 are few and far between. I would like to shoot cast but factory bullets will be OK. Any suggestions?

I have an old Ideal mold and a bunch of gas checks for 270 I would trade.
Right now I need some 284 brass.

I use the RCBS 150-grain spire point. I have to really tune the load and alloy, and do some very delicate and precise case fitting to get good accuracy above about 1600 fps. My go-to load is a paper-patched, as-cast Lee "cruise missile" from a mould I cut down to 150 grain and cast of water-quenched 50/50 WW/pure with 1% total tin added. These shoot MOA at 2700 fps with a case nearly full of SLOOOW powder and just the right amount of the right kind of buffer.

I'm not sure what else I might have to trade but I've never even seen any 284 brass. I just scored a 1/2 bucket of wheel weights.
