I’ve decided I am going to start reloading my own ammo. Before I decide on the brand press I’m going to purchase I do have some general questions.
1. Are the dies specific to each manufacturers press? Its been suggested that I should buy a cheaper model like a Lee to determine if reloading is for me. I’ve done some research and I’m leaning towards a Hornady progressive press. If Lee dies are not compatible with the Hornady, it will just persuade me to safe overall costs and purchase a Hornady our the gate.
2. When I decide to pull the trigger and make my purchase it will probably be a kit. Is this a good idea?
3. Any reasons why I should not buy a Hornady Progressive Press?
4. I’ve researched some digital scales and from what I can tell you pay for what you get. Any suggestions?
5. I will primarily be loading .223, 7.62, and 9mm rounds. What powder would be best for each?
Thank you.
