Will this press work for reloading .270 winchester? I am looking to get into reloading.

Oh yeah.. As long as you can get the dies.. Lee I think makes .270 win dies..
1376518
Yes sir it will - just grab some .270 dies and a couple of extra lee breech lock bushings and you will be set - bushings are probably available on Amazon as add ons

i'm pretty sure it will. I load .338 lapua mag with it.. You can check for sure by going to www.leeprecision.com just ask them by a phone call

Yes, this is a good entry level press. .270 win. is very easy to reload and can be done with this no problem.
1376521
Yes, I have loaded the .270 on this press. I reload many different calibers. Mostly handgun cals.

This press is for "resizing" the bullets... meaning you buy the size die you want for your particular caliber gun and taking the raw bullet pass it thru the press to "resize" it to your specific barrel.

Yes sir this item will work for any pistol and rifle up to a 50 Bmg. I really like the Lee deluxe dies for pistol. The come with a shell holder and a it is a 3 die set with factory crimp die. I started with kit and it is a great starter set. I have added equipment to my bench but I still use this press. I also use the Lee 223 deluxe die set for the same reason as the pistol. For my larger precision bolt rifles I use rcbs dies. I feel the are more precise and have a locking screw on the die. The Lee dies do not lock with a screw they use a rubber gasket. Everything Lee makes is inexpensive and works great, other brands are a little quicker or more efficient but they cost a lot more. Yes sir this item will work for any pistol and rifle up to a 50 Bmg.

Just check the threads characteristics on both presses. If they are the same you can use the Lee dies in your press. Anyway, I believe they are standard in the reloading press industry. The Lee dies are 7/8 - 14

I have not personally used it, but on some gun forums it's been reported to work great on 308's, so should be no problem on a 270.

I load 9MM, 40S&W, 308 Win, 270 Win, 30-06 Springfield, and 35 Rem. I plan on loading 45 ACP and 357 Mag when I get the dies. You're only limited by imagination, and of course dies and brass. The Lee Classic Turret Press serves me perfectly. Good luck...

I like to reload 270 and that's about as big as I go. I reloaded some 7mm rem mag but that was a tight fit.

Short answer is "YES". You can load cartridges up to -"Maximum overall length this reloading press can accept is 3.650-Inch". The longest 308 I found was 2.8 inch.

A hand press will reload 50 rounds faster. But what you make up for in speed you will lose in quality of reload. But if you use a hand press just check measurements evey 10 rounds or so for best results.

I do not understand this question. Torque? This press will do everything you need to safely and successfully reload any size cartridge including neck sizing.

I wouldn't recommend using this press. I decapped exactly 42 32 winchester special cases and it broke the brand new press right off the base. I recommend the LEE BREECHLOCK CHALLENGER. I bought the press only for about $70. Works great.

I have been told the depth of Lee and RCBS dies will not work with the others press but have never tried them. I have loaded many thousands of handgun rounds with a RCBS setup in the past and so far the Lee has had comparable quality results. Don't care much for the quality of the Lee Powder Scales though.

Yes to both. It takes the standard 7/8-14 dies. As for loading, it depends on how many I'm loading. For only a box(50) I will use this press for the whole loading process. For 100 or more, I just do the prep work on this press as it can get a little cumbersome after awhile. If you do get this as your primary press, I recommend ordering 2 extra breech lock bushings. They will save you a lot of time on set up.

Lee makes a 300 H&H; mag die and I am pretty sure this hand press will reload that cal. It is a pretty universal system as long as you have the die set.

Depends on what machine you are using. Lee makes two different sets of shell holders. The red box works only with the hand priming tool. The green box will work with any of the loading presses. I have a Lee classic turret press and the green box is what I needed but the description on the red one said it would work with the press. It doesn't. So if you are needing shell holders for one of the Lee press reloaders buy the green box, not the red one. I'm new too and was fooled by the description.

I use mine out to 1000 yards on my Rem700 .308 so yes, it will work well on a .270

I just tried the RCBS shell holder and it fitted fine. Dies will fit too. So far I have only loaded 44 mag with this press but I have no regrets on buying it.
