270 windfall

[NSP64]

Some generous donor at the range left behind 60 pcs of once fired Winchester .270 win brass.:drinks:

I don't have a .270 Win:(


Can I franken size it up to 30-06[smilie=1:

I gooooogled it but could only come up with turning -06 into .270, 25-06 and others.

Yes, you can expand .270 shells to .30-06. They are likely to be a little long and may need to be trimmed.

[geargnasher]

Long and thin in the necks sometimes. Depends on the particular lot of brass and how small your chamber neck is in the .30-'06. It's nice to be able to trim them to fit the chamber, most '06 brass needs a couple of firings before it's close to the end.

You can but the case will be ~1mm long once its resized. I use mine to make other calibers (7.7 Jap is 58mm long so its an easy trim back to fit from 270Win's 64mm length. 30-06 cases are 63mm in length.

The necks thin out some, my experience, and work well for paper patch.

Good to here this.
I want to shoot them in my 1917 eddystone rifle.
I went out and bought 50 pcs of new brass when I bought the rifle.
The 270 looked longer and I can trim them.

i have about 140 270's that mite become 7.65 mauser or 8mm mauser.

I necked up some new/unfired R-P 30-06 brass to 35 Whelen and lost the first few to split necks, after I annealed the rest everything went smoothly. Just a thought.

60 pickup range brass. That seems like a good excuse to salvage it by buying a .270, dies, molds, and a couple of sizers...
