as discussed last weekend, i made my order today to get back into reloading.
here is what is currently enroute:
lee loadmaster kit with .223 pacesetter dies and the perfect powder measure
.45acp carbide die set.
large primer feeder setup (for the pistol)
large pistol case feeder
rifle case feeder
lee safety scale
frankford arsenal tumbler
here is what i plan to order tommorow:
case trimmer
2l shell plate for the 45acp
extra turret for the 45 die set (was told this is the setup for easy caliber changes)
some walnut and corncob media.
as for my questions on powders, i would like to stay with hodgdons just to keep it as simple as possible.
the .223 will be fired from bushmaster, colt, and dpms ar style rifles with 16 and 20" barrels with the standard 1 in 9 twist rates. the bullets will almost always be 55-62gr fmjbt, and i will just be competing with my buds and their whitebox winchester factory stuff at 100-200 yrds.
the .45acp will be fired from 4 and 5 inch 1911 kimbers and colts, same kind of fun against the same buncha friends with their same whitebox winchester factory stuff.
now then, i guess to start, one really important thing for me is, which powders will the perfect powder measure agree with the most?
for the pistol?
for the rifle?
my research has made me lean towards hodgdon universal for the pistol
and h335 for the rifles. am i on the right track?
and thx again guys. your experience is truly appreciated.
