The Loader I recommended comes with instructions, and all the tools you need, except the wood "hammer" and a small square of plywood to use as
a pad (saves you from listening to mama tell you about this new coffee table she is getting)
The best part of this is, you build 1 round, start to finish at a time. You don't get confused with what you did last, or where you left off. After about a half a box, you're a veteran.
Just follow the instructions in the loader. That will get you started, or keep you going when you're broke but want to shoot. There are only about 6 steps or so with that loader. It is so easy it's embarrassing.
As to .270 recoil, I don't believe in heavy loads anyway, as I am allergic to pain. The load I told you about is about middle of the road. There is SOME recoil, about 1/2 that of a 130 grain factory load, or mabe a little less.
I have cut the recoil even more with my .270, in that I had it magnaported (about $115) and added
a mercury recoil suppressor ($30) to the stock.
Between those two, and the light bullets, I can get in a pretty fair afternoon shooting without a bruised shoulder (100 rounds or so).
Let me know how you make out. Keep in mind, the one thing that makes good loads is consistancy. Make them all the same.
When you get your loader, contact me at my e-mail address GRAMPABEN@JUNO.COM, and I will try to answer any questions.
Later,
