A question for some of our more "seasoned" reloaders.
Any of y'all experiment with shortening the neck length of your brass? The .270 appears to have a longer neck than the 25.06 & 30.06.
The reason I ask is due to total boredom from being out of work & laid up with this miserable back injury, I'm cleaning & sizing every piece of brass I have. Since I have a substantial collection of once fired Fed .270 brass, I thought I kill a few weeks have a go of it.
During my brass refurbishment project, I found 30 pieces in a bag that had the neck length cut back approx. .125" ( roughly an 1/8" from what I can see).
Since there's 30 of them, I'd almost think it was cut intentionally. Any advantage to a shorter neck? I can't imagine it's dangerous - or is it? Or am I going on the wrong direction & this is someone's experiment & that's why it was in the spent brass bucket at the range?
Whatcha think?
