Your Winchester 70 (for which you did not list a caliber) is likely not the same as your 270 (which is a caliber, not a model number) If you look on the barrel (generally stamped right below the iron sight or just before the barrel joins the gun), you should find the caliber of the rounds for expected use.
If you did not buy the weapons new, there is a possibility that one of them was re-chambered for a "wildcat" round. In that case a factory brass may be longer than what you need, preventing you from closing the action.
Any competent gun store employee or a local gun smith can easily find the correct ammunition for your weapon.
Remember....the model such as for example a Remington 700 is a model. That weapon is chambered for many different rounds but you cannot interchange them.
Don't know much about this subject, but maybe someone has modified the .270 previously.
I would run it by a gunsmith and see what they think...they're the experts.
