New to Reloading

I disagree.

You don't need a LOT of stuff to do reloading "right"...and don't listen to anyone that tells you that you do. The only "right" way to reload is SAFELY...the rest is simply technique.

Well it seems you need a lot of stuff to me. Just case prep and powder dispensing can be expensive if you are looking for precision and convenience. I just bought all my reloading stuff in one shot and I spent about 600 dollars total and I have everything I need to prep cases and load for .223, 38 Special/357 Magnum and 45 ACP.

I think that was a pretty reasonable cost to get started and I did get a lot of stuff but everything I got, I'm going to need.

Marineman- 20 years ago I bought my RCBS Rock Chucker and the other required items. I still use all my oiginal equipment.

My advice would be to buy equipment you need, and most important to buy manuals and books with reloading information written by experts. For example, buy the Ed Matunas book Metallic Cartridge Reloading from the 1980's. It can be foundon the internet for about 2$. And when you acquire a few manuals, get your information there. DO NOT rely on what you read on this or any other website. Anybody can post here; in fact I believe many offer "advice" on this site who are not qualified to speak out on the topic.

If you really want to do it cheaply, and don't plan on shooting a lot, the Lee Classic Loaders work pretty darn good. I have turned out a lot of .22-250 on mine that is way more accurate than factory. In a couple hours at night, I can load 50 rounds or so, and that's with measuring each charge on a beam scale.

I don't know if they make them in .270 WSM though.
