bbergmanQuck question
Can I size .270 brass to 25-06 in a single step, that is simply run .270 brass into a 25-06 die? Will this cause any concentricity problems? Reason I ask is I have access to never-fired .270 brass and would like to use it for a 25-06 if not too much of a hassle.

ricciardelliSure you can, but don't forget to trim it to the proper length.

Don_GYou might also check the neck wall thickness after sizing and before loading or the finished OD after loading a dummy round to make sure it's not too thick.
Chances are there's no problem, but better safe than sorry.

hivelosityyou will notice when you resize the 270 to 25/06 at the base of the neck a donut will form this could cause some hazzards with a combination of thick wall necks.
