I've got plenty of experience with reloading pistol ammo (Dillon SD B) but I'm new to rifle reloading.
My interest is primarily in rolling .223 ammo as a hobby on my days off work. I won't be hunting or anything and I'm not concerned with benchrest accuracy, but rather just function and utility. I plan on starting with loading up around 1000 rounds over the next month or two then adding to that. I guess I'm saying I'll be loading more than I'm shooting. I want to eventually have 5k-10k loaded though I don't have a "deadline" nor am I particularly in a hurry.
So far I've got:
-reloading manual
-vibratory case cleaner
-case media separator
-digital scale
-dial caliper
-.223 dies
-bullets (62gr "855" steel core stuff)
-brass (military)
-primers (cci)
Still gotta get powder, a swager, puller, and a case trimmer (perhaps).
My question:
-Would you recommend a single-stage or turret (progressive) press? What kind?
Any other insights or suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks!
