Hey y'all,
Been reloading for my .308 for almost a year now. LOVE IT. I'd like to put my Lee Turret to work on some .223 whenever stuff calms down. I'm gonna use the down time hopefully to get what I need together for this. For my .308, I settled on best practice being:
1) Partial Body/Shoulder Bump with the bottom half of a Forster Precision Bushing Bump Die
2) Decap and neck size with the Lee Collet Die
3) Trim/chamfer if necessary
4) Prime, Fill (with Autodisk, then scale for top off), then seat with a Redding Seater Die.
An odd mix of dies but my results are consistent, my groups rock, and I'm happy with it.
For the AR, I realize that full length sizing is a requirement; Therein lies the question. I think... I want to get:
1) A body die
2) The Lee Collet die
3) A seating/crimper die
4) Case trimmer
Any thoughts good or bad? There's an RCBS chargemaster in the plan as well; with the .308 I've learned that the Autodisk and I love/hate stick powder.
