.270 load with win primers instead of fed?
Went to gander mountain today and picked up some stuff to load for .270.
Nosler 130gr bt , h4831 powder and winchester brass. The loading book that
I have calls for fed 210 primers, but I can only get my hands on winchester lrp.
Will I be ok with these or should I try to hunt down some fed primers?

start low?
What do u mean start low. The book says 52.5gr of h4831. this is the lowest load in the
Book. Should I go lower than that or are u telling me to start at the lowest grain and work my way up?

cci benchrest primers
I will have to see if I can find some of those primers. I have heard that in another forum.
All this reloading is new to me so it is nice to get great input from other forum members. What powder are u using or are the primers giving u better groups will all the powders?

CCI 200, Winchester WLR, Remington 9-1/2, Federal 210 are all large rifle primers. Of course you can get these in bench rest versions also but you will pay more. I personally wouldn't worry too much about the BR primers myself especially since you are brand new to reloading.
If you were to get a good recipe with a specific combination of powder, bullet, and primer but had to change one of the components then you should start over and work your way back up from the starting loads in the book you are using. Since you haven't started loading yet do not worry about which brand of primer you use. Just start at the books starting load and work you way up to the max load.
When okgobbler said don't mix and match what he means is not to load with two or three different brands of primers. Some primers burn hotter than other primers and what is a safe load with one brand may be an over pressure load in another brand.
