Hello everyone,
I'm new here. I posted in the intro thread yesterday. Anyway, I've been loading 9, 40, 38 and 357 for about a year now.
And am now slowly but surely gathering everything I need to load 556. Never loaded for a rifle before (it's for an AR15).
I have a few questions about certain supplies I should order. I don't currently own a case trimmer, chamfering/deburring tool or primer pocket reaming tool.
I have a bunch of 556 military brass I plan to load when I finally get everything I need. I need some recommendations on the best value for case prep tools (cause I don't do much "prepping" on my pistol casings, I don't own any case prep tools of any kind).
Can someone recommend the best tools (at the best price) for the functions I mentioned above?
1. Primer pocket reaming (for mil brass, small rifle primers)
2. Case trimmer (preferably able to trim more than 1 caliber as I plan to take on more calibers in the future).
I have a set of Lee 223 dies (the ones in the red container).
I also need some recommendations for powder for loading for an AR15 and also where to find 556/223 bullets. (I know these two are alot easier said than done).
Help is appreciated. Any other factor I should consider before actually loading rifle cartridges for the first time, feel free to mention that as well.
