If I got a set of dies to reload 223, at individual stages, would this allow me to reload 223 or 5.56 that would feed into my AR-15.
1604753
Yes, but I would stick with Lee dies and accessories for things to work smoothly.
1604754
I would pop up the $ to get a press that would allow cam over. This one doesn't, and has no priming tool. But yeah. .......it would work.
1604755
Yes it would. I use this press with rcbs dies and a hornady shell holder and I don't have any problems..but if you have an ar-15 you may want to put your money toward a multi staged press. Reloading with a single stage press is a slow process and requires quite a few components that might be better acquired from a kit. Check out YouTube. There are a lot of good resources related to this type of press and many others mentioned by name.

From my understanding 5.56 is the same as .223 just 5.56 has higher pressures.

This press is for "resizing" the bullets... meaning you buy the size die you want for your particular caliber gun and taking the raw bullet pass it thru the press to "resize" it to your specific barrel.

Theoretically: Yes. It will take some force in the resizing die. If you're gonna do a few at a time, it will work. If you want to crank out several hundred, get a bench press. Be sure to lube your brass. Also, bear in mind that Milsurp 5.56 brass has a crimped primer pocket, and the standard Lee dies aren't up to that, but for .223Rem they work well. The Lee Ram primer works well on this press, but again if you're only doing a few at a time. Too tedious for a lot of rounds.

I have used my set of dies in a Lyman Spartan press to load several hundred rounds with no problems so far. I don't know if this is the recommended use but it works for me. My rifle hasn't blown up yet but I stay within recommended loadings correlated from a number of reloading manuals. Accuracy for me is as good as I get with factory loads but then I'm a half blind, one eared, old fat man and don't shoot that well anyway. Hope this helps. Ken

Yes, if you pair it with a set of .40 dies and a set of 30-06 dies. Get a good reloading manual to go along with it so you understand reloading concepts

These dies use the industry-standard 7/8-14 thread pitch, that will work with all reloading presses using standard dies. That includes all Lee, RCBS, Dillon and Hornady presses. Don't have to buy any special press at all. My personal favourite for a single-stage is the old RCBS Rock Chucker. Classic design, available all over the place, and works just fine.

You should be able to but you will have to buy a set of 7.62 x 39 dies .if you want to be able to switch calibers easily get another die plate to set them up in.
2204213
Yes, these are reloading dies, you will need one set for each different caliber you load. This set consists of a full length sizing die, a neck sizing die and a bullet seating die. In addition you may need a bullet crimping die, as the seating die does not crimp in this set.

Yes this one is for .223/5.56 only. You can buy other ones for different calibers.

Honestly I'm not sure, I don't know if the .308 butt stock on any ar platform is different from a .223/5.56

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.

No, you have to get the specific dies for the caliber you are loading separately.
1122639
No. You need a die set for 300 blackout. 300 blackout is basically a 5.56/.223 cartridge cut down and resized in the neck to accept a .308 bullet and use the same bcg and magazine for a standard AR-15. In fact you can actually cut down 5.56 brass and use a 300 BO die to make 300 BO brass. Available at amazon: Lee Precision 300 Aac Blackout Very Limited Production 3-Die .

Yes: Any RCBS, Hornady, or Lee should work you'll need them to reload, so shouldn't be a problem.

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.

The 4 die is identical to the 3 die set, but includes an additional die. 4th die is the factory crimp die. I'm not familiar with any problem Using these dies to load ammo for use in a glock. This set and the 3 die set both size to specification. I've never had any trouble in a glock with my reloads.

Should be no problem. Works fine in my .223. Just make sure the patch isn't too big.

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.
