Good morning,
So I've been hand loading for a while now and I'm enjoying hand loading just as much as I enjoy shooting. So, I'm looking to get deeper into rolling my own and I am going to make the plunge into the casting boolit world. I've officially been sucked in past the point of no return.
I am not trying to decide which way to go for boolit sizing equipment. To date, I have only been hand loading pistol cartridges (9mm, .40 and .45) but I want to start reloading for my .223 and 300BLK. I only have a Dillon RL550B press at the moment (aside from my little Lee hand press that I deprime with).
I am going to start out casting in .38 special caliber only for now (I'm sure it will develop into most of the calibers I shoot though). I am also interested in powder coating my boolits rather than traditional lubing. I might tumble lube wadcutter boolits as well.
Since I am looking into expending my reloading to rifle cartridges, I am thinking about getting a nice single stage press (leaning towards the Redding Big boss II). I am considering swapping out the Redding die bushing on it for the Hornady Lock n Load bushing for quick changing dies.
My question is; can I resize boolits on the Redding BB2? I should be able to put the boolit sizing die on this single stage press and get a hopper for the top right?
Thanks,
Greg
