...uh, don't do much with guns anymore (I hate cold weather and prefer to fish off of my boat in warm weather). However, 30 years ago I worked in a gun store and owned a .270 rifle. Mixing calibers in any gun, especially high-powered rifles, would be in my humble opinion both very stupid and very dangerous. A bullet has to fit snug to the bore of the barrel as it spins during the travel out of the gun. It is the seal of this fit that forms the barrier for the compression of the powder fire. If memory serves I used to shoot 110 and 130 grain loads from my .270 and fire would shoot out of the end of the barrel five or six inches when using the 130. It was pretty hot - I bought the .270 as a "hot-rod" kid because the kill power was slightly better than a 30-06 and it was a popular caliber with bear hunters in the 70s. I thought it was "cool" at the time, but I could barely afford to shoot the stupid thing and I never went bear hunting with it or any other gun. I had enough bad luck shooting a cousin's shotgun reloads on trap (an he was a pretty good reloader) that I don't think I would consider shooting an amature reloaded anything in a .270, 30-06, .357, etc, etc. (anything with a bore and some power).
