I had about 80 plus .270 Win empties, had powder, had bullets but didn't have dies to reload them with. I didn't want to buy dies cause I don't hunt with it anymore, maybe my boys will in the future. I ended up borrowing a set of RCBS 270 dies made in 72 and the friend I borrowed them from has been loading for years so I just assumed they were already set to go, WRONG. I started to reload and loaded all the cases with powder. Then the bullets just fell into the cases. I learned to resizethe cases and reset the dies for what you are reloading, I backed off the deprimer pin and resized all cases and necked the cases. Then put in the powder and used the seating die and destroyed about 4 cases because I assumed it would do the job as is, wrinkled the necks so I ruined 4 cases, learning experience. Once I got my length correct the rest went uneventful. All my ammo i cleaned and installled primers, Removed the old primers with a RCBS heavy duty decapper but never sized the cases, LIVE AND LEARN. I learned a lot today at the press.
