I've got quite a bit of .270 brass but no .270 lol. I've got a .30 06 I can load for and was wondering if I can simply run the .270 brass into the .30 06 FL sizer die and trim if needed.
If only a guy could just go buy proper brass.While doing this is very easy and on the surface seems to be a judicious use of spare brass, don't forget the safety factor. I shoot and reload for both so I personally wouldn't want the opportunity to make a very bad mistake, much like having more than one type of powder open on the reloading bench at a time. The cost of proper brass is minimal compared to a prized firearm or body part. Just my 2 cents.
I agree necking up is bad. If resizing go down if a mixup happens it's not as destructiveWhile doing this is very easy and on the surface seems to be a judicious use of spare brass, don't forget the safety factor.

If you stole his shells you deserve what you get, but it won't cause a problem because you wouldn't be able to close the bolt I have wildcat rounds using the parent cases. So 308 win becomes 6mm 7mm X 57 becomes 25 cal 300 H&H becomes .458 . Just look at it and you could say thats not 25-06 or .270 that a fat 30-06If you do this, make sure to take something like a Dremel tool and grind off the .270 headstamp. You don't want someone picking up one of your cartridges and trying to put it in his .270.
