walshie 2,804 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I've just got the bog stock Lee 50th Anniversary kit. Cheap and cheerful but does the job. Quote Link to post
DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Loading for the .223 walshie? Was thinking about it the other day after I re zeroed my tikka and new leupold. Used them 53grn superformace rounds and was getting inch and a half groups at 100m, which to be honest is perfectly acceptable for what I do, but would be nice to see some cloverleaf groups.....Thinking homeloads would be the way forward..... How much was the kit? Quote Link to post

How much was the kit? The kit was about £125 new. Other things I had to get were calipers, and a case length gauge. Got some 53gr v-max bullets to try now and some N133 powder. Looking forward to working up a load for the 53s. The 53 gr superformances in my Tikka are less than 1" at 100 yards. It loves them. That's why I just got some 53gr bullets. Quote Link to post
Dave Warren 7 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Lee 50th kit same as walshie. Just added a post i here with videos if you wanna see how it works I load .223 btw Quote Link to post
Tremo 138 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I should be getting stuck into some reloading for my .223 next week. I use Hodgdon's CFE 223 for my .22-250, but it is also recommended for the .223 ........... so that's what I will be using. Nosler 40gr BTs, Hornady 52gr A-MAXs and Nosler 55gr Varmagaddons. It will take some time, but hey, that's where the fun is. Quote Link to post
