Looking good, are you loading by hand and or on a Single Stage? That's it tomorrow I am ordering my .223 parts for my XL650

Congrats, your 1st trigger pull on the 1st reload round has the same feeling as your 1st time shooting a gun.
How do you like that Lee magnetic powder scale? I got rid of mine after my 1st batch of reload....

[Jromulo]

Although the lee magnetic powder is a pain in the *** to use, it is accurate. I have no issues using it. Works wonders for me

Congrats man! Enjoy your 1st reload round. I'm looking to get there and start reloading soon!

[RaymondMillbrae]

Cool.

Double and triple check everything before reloading...then go have some fun.

It is not only addicting, but it is expected of every American who owns a firearm. (Training, training, training, on the proper use of your firearm).

I'm using the Lee Single Stage Anniversary Kit with RCBS dies a Lee Hand Primer, Lee's scale and Lee's "Perfect" Powder measurer.

Now I just have to make the time to hit the range!

The scale it's self is OK. It is kinda touchy and just like any analog "thing" you have some room for error, I'm only using it to check the charge once and awhile otherwise I am using the Lee "Perfect" Powder dispenser. I do have plans to get a digital scale sooner or later, since I'm using the dispenser and not weighing every single charge I can probably wait for a little bit.

Good hear that. When I 1st started I was only using the scale and didnt have a dispenser. Every 10th round I would re-check and I would be off, way off. So I have to recheck re-do all. After that 1st 100 rounds I bought a RCBS Range Master from a fellow Calgunner and exchanged my Lee scale with a Hornady Powder measure. Now Its much easier. Good luck and be safe

Congrats. You'll love the feeling of being able to make your own completed rounds. Beats buying loaded ammo, that's for sure.
