What are you trying to reload for?

Jbelt11 · Jul 6, 2020

I would like to reload a few different things 5.56 / 223
9mm and 6.5 creedmoor

Swaim13 · Jul 6, 2020

Do you have any equipment yet? The 556 (assuming for an ar) and 9mm would be best on a progressive press (queue the calls for getting a dillon) and the 6.5 is generally best on a single stage for accuracy.

What are your goals with reloading? Are you trying to save money? Trying to make sure you always have ammunition? Going for accuracy? Just interested as a hobby?

I load on a single stage press for 223, 6mm creedmoor, 6.5 creedmoor, and 30-06. I sadly cant teach you atm but if in a few months no one has taught you, I can help out.

I am in Harford Co and willing to teach you reloading.

I have done a couple of people here on MDS.

Always up for some training ....

I’ve been loading on a D550 since 2013 and DA helped me get started, but always good to hear it again and from another perspective.

What are your goals? I got started with reloading because I shoot .30-40 Krag and .303 Savage (not easy to find live ammo and $$$). Others do it for precision/load control and others do it for money savings.
I'm not telling you what to do, but I would start with 6.5 Creedmoor and an inexpensive Lee single stage, scale, calipers and powder trickler. Hand weigh every load. I am an advocate of learning to load on a single stage, as you can more easily focus on every step of the process.
I'm a bit far to travel to you, but I'm sure Pinecone isn't the only member in your neck of the woods willing to help.

I do not yet. I wanted to get opinions on what I should get for starter kit I guess as well there are soo many options out there I’ve watched countless videos and it seems that everyone is different on what they recommend. And so I would like to reload for a few of those reasons save some money , better accuracy and just having the ability to do it with all the stuff going on and ammo prices and availability all over the place just want to be able to do it myself

I haven’t bought a press since 2013 and bought a D550 as a way to have a progressive press which could be run as a single stage. Not sure who makes a manually indexed progressive press these days ...

Advantage to me was over time, as I got more comfortable with loading, I could easily switch from running it as a single stage to a progressive and increase my output.

I load 9,45,223 for my service rifle.
