Default RE: reloading .270

Sounds like your new to the reloading game? I would suggest that you look into RCBS. They make great starter kits which includ press, powder thrower, scale, funnel.
Not sure if it comes with a powder trickler or not. You will also need a good manual (or several) and a set of dies and shell holder.
Then you have to get powder, bullets, primers, case lube, chamfering tool. In the near future, you will need a case trimmer (RCBS Trim-pro is a good one). I also recommend Hornady One Shot as the case lube.
Additional items you may want to consider are a hand priming tool, dial caliper.
For the .270, I would recommend using IMR4350 powder and a good 130 gr bullet such as Nosler or Sierra. My favorite load is 55 gr of IMR4350 behind a 130 gr Nosler solid base bullet. This load is moving along about 3000 fps and is very accurate - at least in my rifle.
Good luck and feel free to email me if you have any questions.
