I reload and can't help much because I can neck resize,set the bullet body close to the riflings and find the powder charge my rifle likes,but it could be you have a problem with too long of a bullet for a 1in10" twist or your mollylube is messing you up.If you didn't "condition" your barrel for mollycoat try cleaning the barrel as thourly as possible and then using non-mollied bullets.If you didn't follow instructions for conditioning the barrel it might take a lot of cleaning to get all of the molly out.Also I don't own a .270wsm but do a 7mm wsm and it is hard to find heavier bullets that I can seat just off the riflings and still have room for the best powders,so I find just a tad lighter bullet works best.I would sugest dropping back to 140gr or lighter.A 140gr .270 bullet at 3000fps+ will bring down most everything in NA. sam.
