Yea, from what I’ve been reading, the 270 is not that fussy when it comes to seating depth. I don’t have any factory rounds here but I’ll check OAL on a couple of reloads that I have that feed and chamber nicely and use that as a starting point. Just wanted to get my head around the process as I’ll be digging deeper into this with the 260 later on.
