Well actually I would like to buy some once fired or new brass.

I shoot Winchester Supreme Balistic Tips, so the Winchester silver casings would be prefered.

Next question, can anyone recommend a trusted person to do some reloading?
I want to have several boxes reloaded. The cost of these cartridges are high. I was looking to help the cost a little.
 
I've got two boxes (40 rds) of Winchester 270 WSM once-fired nickel brass. You're welcome to them. PM me and we can work out the details.
 
You'll hear a lot about not saving money when you load your own. If you have more than two rifles and handguns, you can do quite well but I gave up keeping track of expenses a long time ago. I load because it is fun, it is relaxing, and I have perfect rounds for each centerfire I own. Surf around the web, you'l find handloading sites, best one I know of is HandloadersBench.com but there is plenty of info and helping hands right here.

And yeah, 270 WSM rounds are expensive to buy. The nickel plated brass is pretty but the old brass color shoots just as well and is half the cost or less. VCHeck Midway, Misouth, Grafs for nickel vs Brass prices.
 
Backstraps,
I didn't see your comment earlier of where to start in order to get into reloading. However, I think everyone is there at some point when they want to get into it but don't know where/how.

I started out by buying a Lyman and Lee reloading manual and reading them before I ever bought my equipment. Once I had an idea of the process and what type of equipment was available, I started putting together a list of what I needed. Granted it was more expensive to do this but I got what I wanted.

If you want to get into reloading and are note sure if you are fully commited to the idea, I would start with a Lee Classic Cast single stage press and some Lee dies. Granted there are more expesive options but you can load some very accurate loads with just about any brand dies.

I went the Forster and Redding route right out of the gate and then began buying Lee dies afterwards. They all work...The only caveat is to treat reloading as another hobby as it will consume time and money if you enjoy it.

Thanks I am sorry I am just now getting back to the topic. I would really like to reload my own, basically for the fun of it, knowing each round would be loaded exactly the same... I am also kind of a DYI'r I am mostly into archery and love being able to do all my archery work myself.

I am going to follow yalls advice..also going to look into the Lee Classic Cast single stage and Dies.

I was able to meet GRAMPS a couple weeks ago. I think I am going to try and make contact with GRAMPS and see about using his reloading machine and direction to get my feet wet.

Thanks for yalls help!!
Tony
