Any .223 Loaders in Chico CA?

[BenjaminCA]

I am looking at getting into reloading and I would like to see it in action if possible and shoot the breeze about reloading with a fellow Calgunner. Is anyone on here close or in Chico that might be able to give me a run through? It would be nice to see it in action and talk to someone who knows their stuff. Thanks,

Ben

My favorite press is the Dillon RL550B which you can find on ebay a bit cheaper or used for a savings.Dillon has a no bs lifetime warrantee even if you're not the original purchaser.98% of the professional shooters load their ammo on Dillon Machines.The RL550b is the most popular reloading machine!

Start with a single stage press so you know how each station works...

Also youtube reloading.. There are plenty of tutorials on reloading.

Thanks for the info so far fellas. I can always count on Calguns. Still hoping for hands on reloading before I make a purchase, thanks for the advice.

Your close by RCBS Headquarter (Oroville) You should hit up their shop and see if they can give you a demo.

the steps are pretty straighfoward

clean i use a tumbler but you can get away with jsut a good individual wiping

lube
i just put a little of this on a finger and rub a bit on


size (often this decaps) i use a lee single stage with lee rgb dies



trim



debur
with this


prime there is a little arm on the press to do this for me

[bohoki]

then you charge the case

i use a cheapo (but its pretty good once i set it it stays


to set it exactly i use the lee scale


then you have to seat the bullet
so i screw in the seat die and use the little seating plunger to set my depth to a tad shorter than max oal
using one of these

once again once its set it stays about the same for all the bullets you have in the same lot

yay one loaded round




some crimp since i dont have the crimp i don't and my mini14 doesnt seem to care
