Pretty cool DR! I can see how or why this is convenient and easy. No frills or whizbangs or gadgets but efficient. Pretty good for a guy on the move with some empty time on his hands. Thanks for sharing!

I love CFE223 powder for reloading .223. I also like Win 748. Awesome video. 55 grain is my favorite general use bullet weight for 223. I use nosler ballistic tips, hornaday v max, and a few makes of soft points.

Glad you made this video, I've done some research an not many videos went into detail like you. I've noticed people like to talk down on the lee loader because it takes common sense(not common anymore).

Sure beats dragging your Dillon press around with you. I made some of those dummy rounds for each cartridge when I first saw your videos on those. GREAT idea. I seen some people use a flat steel or razor blade-type steel to level off the powder dipper. They say a business card works well but to be careful of the card bending and flicking powder all over the place. Recent video, my camera also stopped recording in the 60-degree weather for some reason even though there was still about 45 percent battery life. Got back home and it turned back on normally.

The "Lee Loader" is a great bit of gear to have on hand. BUT, I only use it to re-load the brass from my own Rifle.
Picking up random brass or "Strays" as some members of my Club call them, can be problematic.
So, be very cautious. It's easy to get into trouble using the "Neck Sizing Only" tool kit of the Classic Lee Loader on brass that HAS NOT been "Fire formed" in the chamber of your own Rifle.

I wish I could transport 1 of those at my work, but for now I will have to wait.
Nice video

Wow. Never seen reloading done like this. Pretty neat

[viejoa]

Cool Beans, DR. I need to get my kits out. I have several, but have only rarely used them. Good video! 🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸

Your .223 case has a purty mouth...
I thought that would be funnier and more appreciated than useless complaints about safety.
🤣🤣🤣
Great video brother!

What are you using for the primer and bullet

[jeffhuntley]

Didn’t realize they made those loaders for 223. I’ve got the 30-30 set

[johnatkinson]

I just bought one of these. I notice the press flattens the nice pointy lead tip the Hornady 55 gr bullet head... is this correct? Wont this alter BC of the bullet?

[nathanlamberson]

where can I get the tool you used to scrape out the primer pockets? whats that tool called?

[DisgustedGenXr]

I too just did 1000 Soft point. 55 gn. Shot .24” at 50yds. Sot sub MOA at 100.

I'm thinking to purchase this kit for reload 556 but I've read somewhere that it's not appropriate for semi auto because it just does neck sizing. Do you use this kit to reload for semi auto? Does it work fine?

[matthewrezuke]

I’m thinking of getting this. Does this produce consistent accurate ammo? I have a nice rifle and I want to feed her hand loads and not junk factory ammo I see in stores.

Hotel room desk…..🤢🤪🤯
I HATE traveling for work, but I’ll have to try this next time I’m stuck in the room for a week at a time!

Neck sized range brass may not work well .

[leonardboufford]

Range brass? Neck size only? Not safe. Fired from your rifle and loaded like that, i can except, but not range brass! Not safe practice!
