It'll be fine. I've never done the .270 > .30-06, but I have a .308 and recently picked up a bunch of once fired .243 brass at the range. I took it home and resized all of it. It fights back a little as it goes through the resizer, as the expander ball is initially too big for the little hole. I actually had to switch dies from the RCBS, to my rarely used Hornady die, because its expander ball was more gradually sloped, and made the process much easier than the RCBS did. Resize, reload and shoot. Have fun.
