[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 443186, member: 25383"] Hope your going to have better luck with the Lee die than I did. I bought a .223 set as well as a 22-250 set and gave up on one while never even using the 22-250. I would spend the money and buy the Hornaday case gauge. It will save you a little time and money in the long run (I use a Stoneypoint). Also I recommend buying the K&M primer pocket reamer! It works with a Black & Decker electric screw driver. Also buy a good priming device (the Forster that anchors to a bench is nice and very accurate. I use a K&M and a Forster that's built into my press (works just like the one I discribed). One thing you can do on the cheap is to replace the die lock rings with steel Lyman rings. They don't flex! And lastly, buy yourself a good case trimmer (Forster makes a nice one that's very accurate). And speaking of case trimming; most guys deburr with the generic deburr tool. Buy yourself a tapered one from Hollands or better yet have your buddy find you a couple junk tapered pin reamers.
