Burnt Powder,
I agree with you. The .270 case (2.540"), trimmed to .30-06 length of 2.494" can easily be run through a .30-06 die and fired in a .30-06. I routinely use .270 brass for my .25-06, after proper case prep.
My buddy did no close case inspection and the .270 case did tie up his Garand. He had assumed all the salvaged cases were .30-06. Of course, a close glance at cases in the loading block would have disclosed the two problematic .270 cases. He found them on the firing line at the range.
