I am new to reloading and am wondering if with this item what 9mm die set do i need? also can this item do the .223 and 30.06? if so what type of die

Just type in reloading dies in an Amazon search and you'll find the Lee die sets for all calibers

It depends on what type 9mm ammo you want to reload. Most people have 9mm Luger. Yes, this can do both .223 and 30-06. Lee sells both caliber dies. Just get the die set for the caliber you want to reload.

Yes sir this item will work for any pistol and rifle up to a 50 Bmg. I really like the Lee deluxe dies for pistol. The come with a shell holder and a it is a 3 die set with factory crimp die. I started with kit and it is a great starter set. I have added equipment to my bench but I still use this press. I also use the Lee 223 deluxe die set for the same reason as the pistol. For my larger precision bolt rifles I use rcbs dies. I feel the are more precise and have a locking screw on the die. The Lee dies do not lock with a screw they use a rubber gasket. Everything Lee makes is inexpensive and works great, other brands are a little quicker or more efficient but they cost a lot more. Yes sir this item will work for any pistol and rifle up to a 50 Bmg.

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

Yes, a decapping die is what you need but also be cautious about what caliber the die is for. Handgun dies come in a red box and rifle dies in yellow. Make sure you purchase it for .223, just so when it arrives you won't be surprised that it is for another caliber... Happy shooting :)

You can use any die set for .223. Usually they come with sizing die, bullet feed die, powder through die.. And get a factory crimp die.. The Lee .223 set is the best deal for the money..here the description:Lee Precision 223 Pacesetter 3-Die Set includes Full Length Sizing Die, Bullet Seating Die, Factory Crimp Die, Universal Shell Holder, Powder Dipper and Instructions with Load Data. $31.00

See previous answer, however if you have older dies be sure to get the small ones for 223/5.56.

the lee 4 die set for 9mm is what you need - you definitely want the crimp die if thats what you mean

Well, Brad, you'll need dies (any of the major brands are good), but spend the extra $ and get carbide or tungsten dies. Then you won't have pre-lube your cartridge casings....which is messy and slow. For the Hornady Lock n Load, you need shell holders and shell plates - buy those from Hornady. Geez, Brad, after that just get yourself some reasonably clean brass cartridge cases (you'll soon find yourself scrounging em at your local range...!), some primers (I always use magnum primers .. Use can just use regular small pistol primers...but I like a big fat spark !) Then get yourself some powder (you gotta start somewhere...Bullseye is fine.), and pick up your favorite bullets. TWO MOST IMPORTANT tips I can give you are : 1. Buy a major-brand component manufacturer's reloading manual. (You'll end up with several : ) ! Lee has good ones and Hornady gives you a DVD with purchase of Lock n Load press...very well produced! 2. GO REAL SLOW for your first few loading sessions! No distractions and focus on what you're doing. Speed will come later. Loading your own is very safe and you'll get measurably better accuracy. But pay attention, Brad! We don't want to lose a fellow gunner to a reloading mishap! Finally, take some time to hang out at you local reloader's supply store. You'll find lots of folk will be eager to share their favorite loads with you. And the store employees might as well start getting used to you bein around! Keep yer powder dry, Brad. Lemme know if you've got more questions. Best, John All the major die makers will include a powder spoon...which I don't care for ... I want a good quality scale...It's comforting when you're weighing out buffalo loads!

Will not reload 45 long Colts without the proper die set. With the proper die set, shell plate and feeder, I have been able to reload, 9mm, 40 S&W;, 45 ACP, 45 LC, .223. Like I said, this set up will ONLY do 45ACP.

Buy the kit for the 223 you can go to 9mm with new dies and shell carrier 223 is the biggest this line of reloading press can handle

Michael this is great deal i recommend second set of dies either 9mm or 45acp and the digital scale not wrong with the scale that comes with kit 2.auto indexer again nothing wrong the kit. You made a excellent choice I'm about 1500 rounds in you don't save money you just shot more....tumbler kit with shells and polish and a plug in timer for cleaning brass i have to reload 4500 rounds to break even after that its .20 to .25 cents to reload .45acp about hope this help check your states shooting club website like mdshooters.com tons of information from people with tons of knowledge and know how

I haven't started loading rifle ammo on my new loader yet. I am cutting my teeth on loading .45 ACP. With that being said, the best recommendation I can make is that you go to youtube.com and search for .223 reloading. There is lots of information for other reloaders on that site. And you won't regret doing the research.

Yes you can. you well need the other dies of course and you can either change them out out you can buy a 5 hole turret that you can install the dies in permanently. You will also need a shell plate for your other caliber. It's a good reloader for the money. You will enjoy loading with it.

Yes, this kit has all that you would need. The decapping die "sizing die" is included in this die set. You can tell which one it is because you will see a metal "pin" like protrusion coming from the bottom of the die. In addition, if you are new to reloading, I would highly recommend that you go to Lee Precision's website for instructional videos or you tube on how to safely reload. This is one area where mistakes can be quite unforgiving.

a set of reloading dies for the caliber of cartridge you wish to reload, purchased separately. also a caliber-specific case length gage. will reload any cartridge that can fit. just need the shellholder. a reloading book, unless you already know your stuff, but a set of dies will also come with common formulas. or you could just use internet for the specs. aside from the aforementioned, primers, powder, bullets and brass. happy reloading.

It won't reload anything straight out of the box. You will need 9mm shell plate, dies, bullet feeding die/powder expander (these two come together) and small pistol case feeder. After that you can load about 100+ bullets in 10 minutes and that's taking it medium to slow speed. Once you're up and running you can push it faster. If you shoot a lot, it's well worth it because after about 1500 rounds at current bargain prices, you break even on 9mm rounds and start saving. Plus the ammo is higher quality and can be customized. I've never regretted the purchase for a second.

It's a really good kit for a beginner. I knew nothing about reloading when I started. I'm currently reloading 308, 30-06, 25-06. The only thing you will need is bullets, powder, primers, and brass. A digital scale is nicer to have but the one it comes with works well.

It comes without any die sets. You have to purchase caliber specific dies separately for whatever you want to reload. Example 9mm dies for 9mm ammo. The dies are around $40-$50 per set.
