I would second what Kenny says about the Lee Classic Cast. When you decide to move up, I would get the Lee Classic Cast press.
As for powder, I like the Hodgdon extruded type. In Canada with our temperature extremes it is less affected. Cold reduces pressure and hot increases. See this link:

For the 270 (which is an excellent choice in cartridges) I would pick H1000 or H4831. Currently there seems to be a powder and primer shortage in Canada. For sure call and ask them if they actually have stock before ordering. Higginson may be worth trying if Wholesale or Cabelas have no stock or are expensive.

For a 270 you really don't need a magnum primer. However you can try one to see if it improves accuracy. Just start with a reduced load and work back up. It may add a little more pressure. In general powders that fill or nearly fill the case tend to be more accurate. H1000 should be of that type, and H4831 close to it.
