Good morning fellas! New to reloading, and with the shortage of components it makes it tough. Anyhow, looking for any input on the use of N560 in a 270 WSM, 7mm RM as well as 338 LM. There is quite a lot of information to try and soak up when just starting out, just trying to look for some good advice specifically for these calibers. Thanks in advance!

Don't be afraid to spend money on load data books. I currently own the Sierra and Hornady books, they both have good information in the front that'll help fill in where your learning may not have covered. I recommend starting by reading "The ABC's of Reloading" to get the basics.
some tips: Keep a clean organized bench, don't use pistol primers in rifles, don't mix powders. Don't leave powder in the hopper over night. Shiny cases don't shoot better than dull ones.

Things I've learned reloading:
Buy once cry once. buy cheap and be prepared for it to not meet your standards. Hornady Case trimmer replaced with Forester(used off Ebay.) Frankfort Arsenal digital caliper replaced with Starrett dial caliper. Hornady digital (battery powered) scale replaced with Dillon Beam Scale. (Fluorescent lights mess with the accuracy of digital scales.) and finally FILL THE POWDER HOPPER AS FULL AS YOU CAN. took me 3 years to learn this. I could never get the charges to drop consistently. I was only putting enough in the hopper to fill the bottom.
 
Here is my VV N-560 data for th 270 WSM 26in barrel firing HBN coated 140 Ballistic Tips. VV shows 3012fps from the highest charge below.

I've had no issues with the hornady stuff but maybe I got lucky. I'd add to this good advice here to start slow. I started with a single stage press and have yet to change. It's fun. The biggest rule of all for me: if you're doing this in a hurry you're doing it wrong.
