I would like to be able to reload 200 rounds per hour. I don't want to
buy the most expensive reloader. Does anybody have something to sell.

Personally I think the Hornady lock and laod system is the best money can buy. It also makes the process extreamely easy compared to others. I load some myself and have the progressive model. The dies are easy to find, and you can see the quality in the equipment compared to the other brands just in the metal work alone. The ol saying you get what you pay for still stands true I think, Hornady may cost alittle more but its worth every dime I think.
I also load 22-250 shells for my var. Ruger. In a vise the shells hold a 1/8 inch group at 100 yards. The factory loaded Hornady's do the same. All with a progressive loader. Why they are saying differnt I have no clue, I have had no differnce in groups on any of my calibers in a vise. 99.9% of the time the shell does not make the gun more accurate, yes you can fine tune the power to get that little extra, but the gun your shooting the shell from will make the groups. I have 2 rugers, the same model, both shooting the same shells, 1 holds 1/8 inch patterns no matter what you use, the other holds 1/4 with the same loads. This is done all at 100 yards with scope in a vise.

Reloading Rifle Shells
2016-10-19 09:03:13 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
If you want the best, the Redding T-7 Turret Press is it. It costs $264.99 for the .22-250 kit from midwayusa.com (see links below). The Lee Classic 4 Hole Turret Press would be a cheaper alternative that would still be a good choice. The Lee is $79.99 for the press only. You would also need .22-250 reloading dies, a shell holder, powder scale, powder measure (optional, but faster), loading blocks, ammo boxes, and components (powder, primers, cases, and bullets). I have had a lot better results with Winchester and Federal brass than Remington. Remington cases tend to be thinner and thus weaker. As another person said, when you are loading for rifle cartridges, consistency is usually preferred to quantity, but with a turret press, you get the best of both worlds. Happy reloading!

Look at some of the RCBS equipment. They sell about the best on the market. Don't bother buying cheap crap because you will just be back buying the good stuff very quickly. The cheap stuff isn't made as well and the tolerances aren't as good. An exception is Lee Precision. Their stuff is well made but is not suitable for the loading rates that you would like to achieve. Look at what Midway Shooter's Supply has at www.midwayusa.com. Another excellent source for reloading equipment is found at www.dillonprecision.com.
Oh, and I forgot to mention Lyman products. They produce good relaoding equipment and there is a sale on Lyman reloading kits at Midway going on right now.

Trust what these guys are telling you. When reloading handgun or shotgun shells a progressive reloader is fine. When it comes to reloading rifle shells, especially 22/250 and accuracy is imperative, a single stage is the way to go. I use a powder thrower to get the charge within about a grain and then use a powder trickler to get it precise. It's the only way to go. Taking shortcuts is a mistake.

your question doesn't make a lot of sense to me. first of all you are talking about reloading for a 22/250, that is an excellent varmit cartridge and can be very accurate if you take your time reloading. varmit rounds in my opinion should be about accuracy, not volume. if you're in that much of a rush you ARE going to miss something and you could get hurt. i think if you want a center fire rifle to just blaze away on the rifle range then you should consider the 223 then you could buy ammo in bulk and not worry about it.

If you want volume try the Dillon RL 550. I use one for most of my reloading. For most of my rifle cartridges I load on a single stage press as time is not a issue.

I'm not sure about the equipment but I will suggest that you use Remington spent hulls. They can be reloaded more times and hold up better then Win or Fed.

If your just starting out you should start with a single stage loader and not a progressive. You will really be able to fine tune the accuracy better at longer distance with the single stage.
IMHO, progressives are best with shotshells.

TO PUNCH OUT 200 PER HOUR ON A SINGLE STAGE PRESS IS A FEAT FOR SURE
IF INDEED YOU ARE CASE TRIMMING, PRIMER FLASH HOLE DEBURRING, PRIMER POCKET REAMING, NECK TURNING, IN/OUT DEBURRING, SETTING THE DIES UP, WEIGHING THE CHARGES , PRIMING, CHARGING, SEATING AND CRIMPING ...
THAT'S ALOT TO DO (AFTER YOUR CASES HAVE BEEN DEPRIMED, CLEANED AND INSPECTED)
AS THE LAST PERSON SAID A DILLON IS THE WAY TO GO
COSTS MORE BUT IF YOU NEED VOLUME YOU NEED A DILLON
IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON DOING PRECISION LOADING , WELL.... IT TAKES TIME
