Hey guys,
Newbie here. Been waiting since June and finally received my Lee Load Master setup for .40 S&W. After I get my feet wet I'll load some .223 also, but not yet.
Time to tune back in to get your advice for a good setup. I have not bought supplies yet.
1 - I need primers. Lee wants me to use CCI primers. I understand the .40 S&W uses a small pistol primer #500.
2 - I need powder. I've read certain powder issues. What are the most common/most reliable ones, and what ones should be avoided.
3 - I need bullets. I imagine I have quite a few choices. What are your favorite bullet types/grains?
4 - I'll be back later with Load Master setup questions , but here is a quick one now. What advantage does the Factory Crimp Die provide (I may want to order one)?
Thanks
