I'd get a set of calipers to check OAL.

I have the frankford arsenal digital one. there is one at harbor freight just like it.

I got the PTX expanders for my powder drop. that way I don't have to use the lee one and I can use the RCBS lockout die on station 3. It has already caught a couple of low/no loads whilie I have been loading.

Oh, and I highly recommend the One Shot Cleaner/Dry lube to clean your powder drop before using. You can use other cleaner but that one shot is awesome.

When you start loading 223 you will need a case trimmer and a swager.

Check out the RCBS "seconds" for the Pro trimmer kit. You can get it cheap. For the swager consider the RCBS swage die set or the Dillon 600. Don't forget case lube.

Welcome!

You are going to need the following:

Calipers
PTX expander for each caliber
Hornady One Shot Dry lube

Optional items I would get:

Extra primer tubes
Hornady One Shot case lube (couple cans)


If you really want to move, use my $28 bullet feeder. When you buy the bullet feeder die, it comes with the PTX expander with it. so if you plan to use it, you don't need to buy it separately.

Blah blah blah.... you want to impress me, come up with a $28 case feeder.

hahhaha. I did my part! Someone come up with it so I can have one for myself!!!!

Already have calipers as I have a full blown machine shop in my garage

The bullet feeder looks awesome, I'll have to get the parts for that.

I thought case lube was optional with carbide dies? I will order some anyway.

Lube is optional, but makes resizing smooth as butter.

Nice! Now, just get yourself some time alone with that bad boy to get er set up and off ya go!

[sonnyt650]

no mention of a shellplate -- get the #45 if available, though #1 will work fine.

Paint it blue and it will be even more reliable. I kid you not.
