| Hey guys, i had a quick question. The other day i saw a co worker of mine reloading some rounds for his 7mm mag. Instead of using a press he had some type of die that used a mallet and different bunches and guides to remove the primer, reshape and press in the new round. What are these called? could i find one for 5.56/223? |

It's not appropriate for .223 Rem ammunition intended for an autoloader because it performs a neck sizing operation. Besides being slow. http://www.google.com/#hl=en&cp=12&gs_id=y&xhr=t&q=lee+classic+loader&pf=p&sclient=psy-ab&source=hp&pbx=1&oq=lee+clasic+l&aq=0s&aqi=g-s4&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=6844df49ecc9ed6e&biw=1672&bih=240 |

First thing for you to do. Suggest you do, anyway. Go beg, borrow, buy or steal a Lee load manual.
Inevitably some one will trump this suggestion with Lyman #49. It doesn't contain didly about Lee equipment. When you get a sit too. Read everything about equipment and reloading process. While doing this, pay particular attention to Lee hand press and basic .223 dies. There's much more you will need, manual will help you compile that list. I used to travel with a backpack, hand loader, dies, powder, primers, hand primer tool, projectiles, calipers, brass, small digital scale and loading block. That's an inexpensive way to start. I would sit down, relax and load north of 50 cartridges an hour. When I think back, before buying all my high dollar reloading tools, those were the good ole days. I still have that pack. Maybe we'll do a piece on it. Welcome to THE hobby. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
