spandit Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Nothing wrong with Lee stuff. That set is what I use for my .223 (albeit of the right size). Don't tend to use the factory crimp die any more and a neck resizer might be more useful for fire-formed stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want to set up a press then you need to get hand dies. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Get yourself some beam scale, they are about £50. Inside outside de Burring tool, hand primer and a simple case trimmer and your away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammo Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 I messed about buying individual items, then realised that the Lee complete kits are massive money savers. Lee 50th anniversary kit in your chosen calibre, everything you could possibly need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Case length gauge, primer pocket cleaner and calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodlander Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Definitely invest in the Lee anniversary kit and do get it from CDSG. Mark is a great guy to deal with and wont try to sell you more than you need and will be very helpful. There's many helpful videos on YouTube to get you started and a wealth of knowledgeable folk on here more than happy to answer any questions,so if you're unsure how to proceed,just ask. Good luck.
