Hi all looking at getting into reloading and looking for the gears to reload my 7mm08 and 223. Anything for sale out there?

Check out Lee gear as a starting point. Watch and wait.Take your time about buying.

Have a look around at some of the old threads on this topic as it has been gone over before. So there’s a load of good advice on here! You just need a bit of patient looking for it. If your getting into reloading your going to need a bucketload of that
It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
I have some 223 dies I can sell,lee ones from memory.
What brand are they?
Whats your budget. If you have the coin jump on into a good package deal. Redding, RCBS, Hornady. 6-700 will set you up with the gears
If you're gonna shoot about 200rd per year for each cal, look for a single stage 'o' frame press.
It's the simplest strongest press you can get.

When i started reloading there was a significant cost advantage as well as projectile choice available that made it a no brainer, hell back then reloaded shot shells were less than half the price of factory.
Today i only use the shot press to make solids or novelty rounds.
My rifle gear does the non mainstream cals i shoot 6.5x55, 7.62x54r 250 savage 22 250 etc. Although i still reload some 223 and 308 for most of my shooting ive switched to belmont as the quality and consistency is excellent and the price is better than I can reload for.
I can improve accuracy slightly by reloading and use different weight projectiles for specific tasks if i wish but most hand loaders settle on a favourite load and stay with it.
Belmont are comissioning a 7 08 machine i hear so to get yourself a good supply of brass to start reloading that could be a good option.
