What die set am I going to need to start with reloading in .223?

Lee precision pacesetter .223 dies will do you a good job. Keep in mind you will need Lee Precision Breech lock bushings for any dies you plan to use.

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

The Ultimate set gives the most options, but cost $20 more than the deluxe, which would be my second choice.

I think your best choice would be the RCBS Small Base die set. Any small base set would be ok but, I know RCBS makes the small base die. You need the small base so that the round will feed any semi auto weapon.

Will accept any manufactures standard 223 dies - I personally bought the Lee Pacesetter set and am very happy - Good Luck !

By your question, it seems that you are new to reloading. The best thing you can do is to read your owners manual and published loading data before attempting to load any ammunition. These two sources along with the information provided with the selected dies sets will keep you both safe and happy.

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

Not Normally. Some kits may come with a set but if it does they will be listed by what caliber so you will know what you are getting.Normally the dies are separate because there are so many different calibers you would not want to get them all just the calibers you are going to be reloading.expect to pay anywhere from around $35.00 and up for a set of dies.

No, you have to get the specific dies for the caliber you are loading separately.

Yes you will need the correct dies as with any caliber round. Lee dies are 20-30 dollars on avg

Lyman uses standard 7/8 - 14 thread in their loaders. They will work with any of the major brands of reloading dies including Hornady, RCBS, Lee, and Redding.

Nothing other than dies for handguns (I reload .40S&W;). I also want to echo George B's comments about getting the 4-die set and another turret. The crimp die, I think, is a must (others may not) and the extra turret makes reloading multiple calibers easier -- one turret per caliber and swap them out as well as the shell casing holder. I did have to buy the rifle riser pass-through die and the auto disk doubling kit for .223. Keep that in mind when/if you reload rifle casings. Good luck and have fun. I really enjoy it once you have everything.

YES=According to Lee, YES. Here is some interesting facts about some differences between the two for the hand-loaders' reference: http://leeprecision.net/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/630/14/223-remington-and-556-x-45-natoBTW, these are the best dies I have ever used! BUY THEM!

Yes, you can load pretty much any round you want. You just need to buy the dies for the different calibers. I load .45, .223, 303 british, .243, and 30.06.

You will need a SET of die's for the caliber you want to load and you will need the shell plate designed for that caliber. Someone said this item does not include dies and shellplate.

You will need a dial caliper, loading block, bullet puller, case tumbler and a reloading manuel and extra bushings for each die.

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.

A digital scale!!!! Then buy another digital scale to keep that one in check. And bc ur loading 223 u will need trimmer. ..also need calipers.... go to you tube and type in reloading equipment or how to reload 223 you will find good info on supplies BUT!!!!!! DO NOT LEARN TO RELOAD FROM YOUTUBE..... DO NOT USE ANY LOAD DATA FROM YOUTUBE ONLY THING U SHOULD USE OFF YOU TUBE IS THE SUPPLIES LISTS. AND GET ONE OR 2 MORE QUALITY BPOKS. THE ONE THAT COMES WITH THIS SET IS A BIG ADVERTISMENT

You would need a die set for that specific caliber. Prices may vary from manufacture to manufacture. A good cheaper die set would probably be Lee Dies. If you're doing straight-walled brass like majority of the handgun brass, a carbide die will help even though it costs a bit more because you don't have to lube the brass.

The 1st answer by Dean is accurate and all you need to know. The 3 die set is all you'll need

I started out with the 3 die setup and have had very good results.I purchased the factory crimp die on advice from a more experienced reloader concerning a improvement in accuracy and it did make a difference my groupings were tighter.I have loaded about 700 rounds so far and I have been very satisfied with the 3 die set try it first and see what groupings you get.
