Got a .270 that's kinda spendy to shoot very often. Went through two boxes the other day, and kinda wanted to :banghead: when i realized how much money I just blew up. Thinking about getting into reloading to help with that cost, and have a bit more control over the rounds i'm shooting (local ammo selection is limited).
On a side note - I do have some basic knowledge of reloading. My dad used to reload for .44mag and .45LC - I've spend countless hours in a garage helping him out. That was many years ago though.
Couple questions:
Is there an alternative method to cleaning brass besides a tumbler?
Does anyone have a favorite powder/load they like to use in .270, and why?
I was thinking about getting one of the really basic Lee Classic Loader packages to get started ( http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=749577 ). Are these kits any good? Not going to be loading a tremendous amount of ammo at a time, so spending hundreds of dollars on a press set up seems kind of counter-productive for my needs.
Aside from midway - what's a few good sites for reloading components/equipment?
thanks!
