I recently picked up a Handi Rifle in 280 remington. It is a new cartridge for me and presents a challenge to form brass for. I could spend some money and buy brand new brass and reload it. I also could form my own from 270 Winchester, which I have plenty of. Yeah I am being cheap but also using this as a learning experience. Holding onto my money for an upcomming elk hunt. I am asking for a sanity check in my process.
I plan to take once fired 270 winchester brass and run the neck through a 30-06 die which will allow me to create a false shoulder when I run the brass through the 280 remington die. I would keep bumping the neck down to create a false shoulder until it just fit the chamber. Reload the brass as normal.
What am I missing? - I have been reading a lot on the web about this and there are more opinions than ......
People cant seem to decide wether 30-06 or 270 form the best
