Another possibility if using .30-'06 cases, is neck thickness. Sizing .30 down to .270 can leave the neck too thick, so loading a .270 bullet makes neck too thick for chamber. It sounds like that rifle has a minimum chamber. In some ways that is good, but there is not a lot of room for anything slightly oversize.
