You're really going to be confused. Everybody has a different idea about what you should do. I'd use Lee dies for the .40. Well, I personally would NEVER reload .40s, but if I did, I'd use a really slow powder and would be extra careful. I'd suggest your getting the Lee Deluxe four-die set, which includes a Factory Crimp Die (for the handgun cases).

Reloading for the .270 is going to be more complicated, as you'll need to lube the cases, trim, chamfer the case mouths, etc.

Read your reloading manuals. Keep asking questions.
