If it is set back that means you would have to push pretty damn hard, a 30-06 isn't going to chamber in a 270 regardless, case neck would have to be squeezed down as well, try that with a bullet in the neck, ain't happening. .031 difference in neck/bullet diameter.

If a bullet in a 30-06 doesn't reach the neck area of a 270 there are other issues.

Same case so even an empty 30-06 brass shouldn't allow for closing of a bolt in a 270 chambered rifle.

A 280 won't chamber in a 270, shoulder is farther forward on the 280.

I could possibly see an SA cartridge chambered in an LA gun but even then the bullet/neck diameter would have to be smaller than neck area of the LA chambering,, that is as long as the SA cartridge reaches the neck area which even a 2.8" 308 based cartridge should.

If this is confusing somebody they probably shouldn't be messing with firearms.

at the expense of pissing other folks off.... there are people on this web site, that shouldn't be messing with firearms or anything else that could go KaBoom....like handloading for starters...
Have always known this just being around other shooters.
