    Starting to relaod

    So I have decided that it is time for me to start reloading. I would do mainly bulk .223 with smaller amounts of .30-06, 7mm rem mag, and 9mm luger. I'd like to keep my set up to around $600 or so. What recomendations on a press ect. do you guys have? Thanks alot for the help

              Brass processing is the most lengthy part of the reloading process - maybe start with new brass until you've cut your teeth.

              Lots of accessories can help - I recommend the RCBS trim mate - especially if you are going to deal with 5.56 NATO and/or 7.62 NATO.

              I highly recommend Dillon - I got a 550B last month and don't regret it. Reloading is the way to go - getting some components are a bit of a challenge - but Cabela's is OK with putting stuff on backorder - a lot of places won't.

              Dillon customer support is A++ - so is their no B.S. warranty.

              Good Luck,

                Better order your primers asap they're a little hard to come by these days, unless you are willing to pay inflated prices.

                  It's more than just primers... It's also affecting bullets and powder too. It's a PITA to find .224 diameter FMJ bullets and popular powders used to load small rifle loads right now.

                    ditto, its tough out there but keep lookin. I also love my dillon 650, the thing cranks out rounds like crazy and you CANNOT beat the no BS warranty

                      I've had one since 1994. Their no BS warranty is just that. I busted a few things that were replaced no questions asked.

                        My fail I overlooked that the op wanted to mainly reload .223 I had pistol reloads on my mind.
