I know I will get a lot of different answers to this question . What would you consider the best , most durable and simplest press to use for a beginner rifle loader .

Reason for reloading Thanks for all the advice . Think I will start with 06 . And to Coloradominuteman I have been loading pistols since 2011 . 380, 38, 40 and 45 . I use my 06 for hunting and my 223 just for fun . I just thought I could gain more experience by loading for rifle , and I think...

As you know I am slowly getting closer to loading rifle . Will be loading .223 and 30.06 . Which would you advise that I start with ? I have IMR4064 on hand . This powder looks like little tubes . Does it have to be compressed and what does that mean ? What powder do you suggest that I start...

Lyman Accutrimmer Yes , it has the 22 pilot and 7 more . Thanks.

Just bought a Lyman accutrimmer from a friend . $45 . At our local outdoor store they go for 64.95 ,Cabelas 84.95 . So I got a pretty good deal , it,s still in the bow. Trims cases from ,17 to .458 Win. Mag. So I can use this to trim .223,s . Just wanted to make sure .

Thanks for all the replies . Imperial wax seems to be the hands down favorite . This is applied with your fingers , One shot is a spray and some like it , a lot don't . All others you need a lube pad . Is this close ?

Slowly getting in to rifle loading , .223 & 30.06 . My question is , what is your favorite case lube ? I have One Shot on hand . If you use one shot , what is the process ? Have not decided on a press yet . Use the Lee classic four hole turret for pistol and love it . Was in a new Cabelas in...

Sorry Flashhole . It had been a long day . I know what you meant now . Thanks .

Excuse me Flashhole . I do not think any question on reloading is stupid . Thanks for all the respectable replies .

Reloading pistol only now but going to start loading rifle , .223 and maybe 30.06 . If you are using carbide dies , do you still have to lube your brass ?I know they are more steps for loading rifle verses pistol . Just a newbe question on rifle loading .

Loading 40 cal. S&W 165 gr. copper plated bullet . Using bullseye powder , 5.2 grs. This load is very accurate but feels a little hot . Lot of recoil . What do you think ?

Been reloading 45,s about 4 yrs. but still a newby . Load 40 S&W 165 gr. with 5.2 grs. bullseye . Accurate and cycles well . On 230 gr. , copper plated 45,s only use 5.0 grs. of BE . Once again shoots accurate and cycles good. My question , Am I loading to light using BE for a much heavier...

Thanks. I will stick with 5.0 bullseye !

Loading 45 acp using Berrys 230 gr. copper plated bullets. I have the 49th Lyman , Lee manual and the Speer manual . Have been using 5.0 grs. of Bullseye . Cycles good and pretty accurate. According to some of these manual that is a light load for the 45. What do you think ?

thanks. I will stick with Lee classic 4 hole turret for rifle loads also.

Now reloading only pistol , 380 , 38 spec.,40 and 45 . Thinking about trying loading for rifle, Rem. 30.06. Will be only loading for hunting . I understand that there are several more steps in rifle and pistol . What would you suggest , a single stage , since I am not in for quantity . I load...

Trying to understand the importance of using the right powder . Loading 45 acp , 230 gr. plated bullet . Would it be better to use a fast burning powder like Bullseye or a much more slower burning powder such as Power Pistol ? Got this data from the Lyman manual on the burning rates of different...

40 cal. bullseye powder I have 4 0r 5lbs. of HP-38 .I'll give it a try . Thanks .

40 cal. - bullseye powder Thanks for the help. Glad I have more then 1 Manual. Finally found my Lyman 49th edition . It plainly states , 165 gr. 40 cal. using bullseye powder , 4.8 to 5.4 . That is for jackeded bullets. I am using plated bullets. so I will use the starting load of 4.8 grs. and...
