Loading .223 on a Lee Turret Loader

[Motownfire]

Any of you guys loading 223 on a Lee Turret loader ??? I have been loading 9MM & .40S&W for a while now and really like this press. How do you like loading 223 on it ??? Any and all positive/negative feedback is appreciated.

Works fine for me-4 hole unit.
Since I have been retired 11 years I gave up on my Dillions ( load too fast )
I like it................

I use a lee 3 hole turret press with the auto disk powder measure, works great

I recently started running .223 on my turret. I use a generic rifle powder charging die and double up the disc when needed for powder dispenser. works fine. Nice to be able and knock out the rounds fairly quickly.

That's what I was hoping to hear, sounds good guy's. For loading .223 is it a 3 or 4 die set ???

I'm a novice at rifle reloading so far.

I have an older turret, updated to the 4-die setup and with the Safety Prime installed. A Pro Auto disk is setup with an aftermarket adjustable charge bar I bought years ago--big enough to handle H335 accurately. Use the three Lee dies--i.e., including FCD.

I've loaded enough to get the dies set up and to get a feel for it--that's all. I'm at the point where I need to standardize on one workflow (prime on / off press, that sort of thing.)

One additional accessory I have is an LE Wilson MAX cart gauge--works well for checking all sizing issues.
