Reloading ammo - ASAINZ - 08-13-2026
\r\n \r\n I would say just get a lee single stage press. With lee dies and do some research on the type of loads u want to do.the dies usually have a light to hot load on paper when u buy them.\r\n

Start with a LEE Aniversary kit, it\'s got everything you need except dies for the caliber you\'re loading - for those make sure you get the carbide version, it\'s worth the few bucks more...Quote:

\r\nOnce you get a handle on how it works, then you can look into a progressive press if you want, and you\'ll already have all little \'stuff\'
\r\n
\r\nSeriously though, you need to decide if you are honestly able to be 100% focused when reloading - if you\'re mechanically inept, or have ADD (you don\'t have to tell us, but be honest with yourself) or can\'t follow strict procedures, then don\'t reload - If you can\'t be focused, you can very well blow yourself up, blow up a gun in your hand - along WITH your hand.
\r\n
\r\nOtherwise, read, watch some youtube, and good luck!\r\n

\r\n \r\n are .223s worth reloading?\r\n

\r\n \r\n I\'ve wanted to do the same thing except with .45\'s. Definitely gonna be my winter project.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Lee kit is good, I would buy rcbs dies and a 505 or 510 scale. Not a fan of the lee safety scale. Do you already have brass? Get a tumbler to.\r\n

\r\n \r\n The Lee scale is a bit slow & cumbersome compared to a digital scale... but you CAN trust it.... remember the Leet kit comes with a powder measure, you use the scale to get it set up, then you just use the measure to throw the charge... FOR PISTOL loads... for rifle you want to weigh each charge to be safe, with pistol loads the tenth of a grain either way usually doesn\'t make a difference, but in a rifle load you need to be exact.

\nThey\'re all worth reloading... .223 costs 25-50 cents a round in the box, you can reload it for 15-20 cents AND get a more accurate load that matches your gun.\r\n
