[QUOTE="dwbammo, post: 1765863"] If you are looking to get more for your money then any kind of Hornady bullets arent the way to go. You can get pulldown bullets from midwayusa.com, topbrass-inc.com and other good sites. The two best powders I've used are AR Comp and CFE 223. The CFE Is the cleanest powder available in my opinion and you can use it all the way up to 300 win mag so it is a very versitale powder. The AR Comp isn't as versatile but it is also a very clean powder. I use 24.5-25gr of AR Comp in Winchester Brass, Winchester SRP, and Sierra MatchKing or GameKing bullets. Like I was saying, the pulldown bullets are good if you just want to go out to the range and have some fun. With the CFE 223 there is a lot of different load data available for it and a lot of different guns like different variants of it. Ive found it works best for me with a Federal SRP and Nosler 62gr BTHP. Reloading is a great hobby and if you want to make money at it you can def do that to. I reload for a living and have been supporting myself and my family for a good while doing it. You always have new stuff to learn so it never gets boring. You will absolutley want to upgrade from the Lee as soon as you have the funds to do it. They are ok for when you first start out but they have a horrible setup and are just cheap made. I think everyone reloading should have a Dillon Blue Press, or Redding. Dillon comes with a no B.S. lifetime warranty and they also make the BEST dies available. If you ever have any questions I will def help you with whatever I can and I know a lot of other members on here will too. Good luck in your new adventure. [/QUOTE]
