Buy one or two loading handbooks, I like Hornady and Nosler.

Read a bunch of good reloading sites, like this, https://www.chuckhawks.com/reloading_essentials.html

Watch a bunch of good reloading videos like these, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtf8DnvqxrKa9w10dyXSopA

or

This will get you 90% of the way to know what you are looking for and what you need to do.

Varget should work from everything from .204 to 30-30, but not in the two pistol calibers you mentioned.

The book "ABC's of reloading" is a good book for beginners also.

I would get a powder with a slower burn rate than Varget for your 270 and 280 AI. Something in the range of 4350 or 4831.
