[QUOTE="johngibbs222, post: 1718489, member: 49619"] Buy a manual before you buy anything else. I bought two, lyman and the lee 2nd edition. I prefer the lee. I also bought second hand a lee turret press with 4 plates, and am set up for 357 mag and 223 rem, the only items I bought new were a lee perfect powder measure and a set of lee delux 223 dies. I got a second hand rcbs powder scale and, tbh, it does great. I dump the powder from the lee measure straight into the pan of the rcbs scales so every load is checked. All the brass from my rifle is neck sized only, one benefit is you don't have to lub to use the neck only lee die. Other 223 brass gets a full resize then, after shooting through my gun gets the neck size only treatment. My gun is a single shot ruger #3 so I don't have any feed issues. I hope you get as much enjoyment out of the hobby as I do. Remember though tidiness and order are king, get your procedures well sorted and don't deviate from them. [/QUOTE]
