So, I shoot a lot of handguns and use a couple of Dillon machines for them.
223 is not a high volume caliber for me but I wanted to try a Lee Loader rather than spend more for a Dillon set of dies. Anyway.
I got my 52 Grn Hornady BTHP
N-135 and a buffalo horn bowl for dipping
Clean used brass
And got to it.
I got a feel for the primers pretty quick. Only had one go off while I was seating it.
I'm impressed with the system overall. Not fast, but as I said it's not a high volume round for me.
I have to get a feel for the whole powder dipping thing. I get everything from 18 to 22 grains when I try it. (Calls for 20.6) and adjust on the scale.
I think they came out well. I forgot to prime once and had to pull the bullet.
I can't get to the range for a couple of daysto try them out, got to work sometime you know.
I'll let you know how it goes.
