what all do I need to reload 223? I will handwash casings and besides primers and powder, but like rifle casing trimming, dies, etc?

You'll need a full-length die, a bullet seating die (these should come in a set with shell holders but if not, a shell holder), case lube and lube pad (Hornady case lube and RCBS lube pad work really well), a case neck brush, a priming system (Lee dies have a priming tool that installs into the shaft of the press, but they also make a hand priming tool), primer pocket cleaner, a case length gauge/trimming system (Lee makes good cheap ones), a digital caliper to measure overall length, bullets, powder, powder scale (funnel too), small rifle primers, and of course brass. I would recommend getting a tumbler too. I have a nano one that only cost around $30. If you get this kit, it comes with a powder scale and funnel and both priming systems I was talking about. It also comes with a drop tube for spent primers to keep them all together until its time to dump them.

With this kit you will need die set,case trimmer, I choose the lee die set and lee trimmer they are a good value and accurate a caliper either dial or digital that should about do it ,if you run across crimped brass hornaday makes a good primer pocket reamer and one of the best bullet pullers in case you seat your bullets to deep or make mistakes along the way me myself I chose a tumbler to clean the brass and a decapping die along with a digital scale ,a rcbs case lube pad with neck cleaning brushes and a few other goodies along my way

I would go with the pull through cleaning system. That is the one i got and it is very easy to use and cleans my .22 and 12 gauge awesome. I would recommend this cleaning kit in the pull through. Fricken love mine. Use it every time after i go shooting.

Yes, I've loaded both 9mm pistol and .223 rifle and plan to pick up dies for .45, 30-06 and 7.62X39. You'll need dies which usually include the shell holder. For rifle ammo you'll need case trimming tools etc. I get all my load data from the powder manufacturer's web site and take recommendation from the rep at my local gun shop on types of powder. There's also a lot of good reloading videos on you tube to get some baseline information in lieu of printed literature.

This is just the machine. You will need a caliber conversion kit and set of dies for the caliber you intend to load. The machine does include a Powder Die that holds a powder funnel. The powder funnel is part of the caliber conversion kit that is purchased separately.

Yes you just need the dies for each of those calibers. I'll warn you though, with rifle calibers, you use a little more force on the full length resizing. I've only used this hand press for pistol rounds (9mm and 357 mag). I'm sure it will still work for rifle calibers, it just may require more force to resize rifle brass. (FYI I reload 30-06 on my single stage Lee Challenger - also a great press).

I use the lee decapping die as it does not resize so no lube is required and when decapped I can clean the brass with stainless media in a tumbler then the whole case is clean primer pocket and all ready for sizing to reloading.

Yes, all you need is the dies kit. This press is amazing to fully reload any caliber

You will need the dies for you caliber and you will need a shell trimmer. I would get some extra she'll holders so you don't have to switch from primer to press.

The dies are the same. The ammo is not. Rifles chambered in 223 can not/ should not use 5.56. The dimensions are very close between the two but the case length is slightly shorter on one. Also the thickness of the casings are slightly thicker on the 5.56. Loaded with 223 spec power charges, excess pressure is probable. If your rifle is chambered for 223 wylde, it can use either. one chambered for 5.56 can use either but 223 REM is 223 only. But long story short...........the dies are the same.

Hi... sorry, but I am of no help here as I've not yet used this tool. Got it as I am a gadget head. I've stainless pin tumbler cleaned about 2300 brass cases but have not yet used this reloading tool. Hope your re-loading efforts go well.

Yes its 223 Rem. There is a full length sizing die but it requires case lube like all rifle calibers. I don't believe most rifle sizing dies are carbide because the brass is not straight walled like many pistol calibers. This set is what i use to load for a semi automatic rifle in .223

you'll need a die set for .223 I recommend the deluxe set with the factory crimp die. I'll recommend a digital scale from Frankford Arsenal. I've been getting my bullets from Xtreme Bullets and my powder and primers local. If you are reloading military type brass you'll need a primer pocket swager. I hope this helps I have really enjoyed my turret press.

It comes with priming die so that you can put primer back to the case. For removing primer, you need either universal deprimer die or an exact deprimer die for your bullet caliber. To reload you need another set of dies with this tool.

reloading dies( get carbide) for each caliber you want to reload a reloading manual will also be needed

I bought this press specifically for .223 no issues. You will need additional set of disk for the powder measure.

Yes for the roller handle. To clean?????? That is done separate with a tumbler, no press in the world cleans the brass. And it comes with a crimping die, the last die both seats the bullet and crimps the bullet. You need to go to rreshop(.)com and get the complete kit for reloading. It will come with everything needed to reload, manual, lube, tumbler, scales, calipers, etc....

With this kit it is best to purchase: Lee pistol die set (9mm/.45) .You will need an extra 4 hole turret becuase once you get your dies set just right for one caliber you can simply change out the whole turret instead of each die and having to reset them.Of course primers, bullets, brass and powders.( Bullseye is best for the .45 powder. Unique and win231 will also do well)A nice scale to measure your loads.Lyman reloading manual.And lastly.. digital caliper to measure your over all lenghth of the round. Good luck to ya sir.
