A must have for single stage 223 loaders

Post by crazyace85 on Sun Nov 06, 2011 10:16 am

Lee pro auto disk
Lee Double disk kit
Lee Universal rifle charging die

Ijust recently added the double disk kit and rifle charging die to my pro auto disk and reloading 223 is as easy as handgun ammo. And the best part I don't have blc2 going everywhere like I did when using the powder dropper.

Maybe not for competition loads; but certainly good enough for plinking and having fun loads ....

Think I need a new scale to go with it.

Don't ya'll need 2/100th gr accuracy on rifle powder charges rather than 1/10th..?

Yeah I haven't converted to blue yet but I'm working on it. Been planting hints with the folks for xmas presents. I hope to have a blue Christmas but with the new addition I'll probably be getting noise making baby toys.

I am glad I'm not the only BLC2 user any more. Reading and getting back into reloading, you don't see it listed as much as some powder, and I thought I was a loner. Was happy to see it was still in stores, although we don't have any reloading suppliers here. I use it in my 223 to 7-08 and 350 Mag reloads, since I have it and it works. I have a Dillon 450 so I must be old. I could get by with a single stage now that I shoot less, and measure every load. I do wonder what the variation is.

Ps I really think a lot of Dillon. Good rig, good service. I just need to find some locator buttons that are gone for 44s.

BLC-2 is a very good powder. But like most things, other powders have come along to take it's place. Many .223 competitive shooters have gone to Varget and Reloder 15. But, BLC-2 is used by 6.5 Grendels and others.

I was using WC846 or 844, which ever is the BLC2 equivilant in my 75gr 223 loads. I ran out so went to h322.
