[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2999270, member: 122164"] Paul Bike makes a very simple set of form dies. Get a headspace gauge, put it in your press, and start sizing down any 270 Win or 30/06 brass. The neck will be long, and the shoulder angle will be 30*. Final sizing will be in your Roberts FL sizer, and you will have to neck turn. tools required: 257 Roberts headspace gauge, new brass, or brass fired in your chamber, used to set the length case length trimmer-I use an RCBS Trim Pro with an adjustable speed 1/2" drill attached to the spindle which eats long necks fast Neck turner-K&M is about as idiot-proof as it gets Some way to measure the thickness of the case neck: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ebay.com/itm/301653424388[/URL] If you use Lapua 30/06 brass, you will find that the brass is absolutely the toughest you have ever used. Pressures that you never could before approach are ho-hum with the Lapua brass, making the other brands appear to be trash. Having something is better than having nothing, but rechambering to 25/06 maybe an eventual option....wait, no brass for that either. [/QUOTE]
