Lee precision a good starter kit?

It's carbide. Just takes a lot more effort and feels sticky if not lubed.

Everywhere I have ever read about reloading 9mm states to lube occasionally.
I do, and don't mind 1 in 10. Hardy slows me down at all.

I went with the Lee Anniversary kit and die set for .223.

I really wish I would of went with the Load Master though lol

Friday I did 30 or so rounds, same Bullet and same Powder (H335) but different powder grains (starter load and then a 1 grain more)

Today I purchased more powder (Benchmark) and more bullets and I just finished doing 100 rounds.

Earlier today I shot the 30 from friday and at first I was way off, turned out I either banged the scope while cleaning or I screwed up the cleaning itself, so I put 20 shots of Winchester USA on the target and then things where back to normal so I went back to the loaded stuff and it was great.

currently in my box I have 50 using Benchmark and 50 using H335
using various loads according to several websites and also my books. and also using different bullets with these various loads (all marked on paper of course and in the box they are marked as to which is which)

Tomorrow I will head to the range and try em out, will take my time and see how it goes.

The powder almost always has a specific density different from the list in the book.So adjust the measure up or down according to the scale then record the setting.
