Hey Frog,
Welcome to S&W!
RCBS (Go Green) makes excellent tools!
Items: MANUALS (as in several. Hornaday, Lyman, Lee...etc These can be found used)
For rifle. Case Trimmer. IMPERIAL SIZING WAX! (you NEED this)!! Primer pocket/flash hole uniformer.
Loading blocks. Scale. Powder Thrower. Dribbler..
H 322 & H 335 are two favorites for the 223.
All of the above, except the IMPERIAL SIZING WAX!, can be located used...in normal times. Gun Club bulletin board. Divorce/Estate Sales. CraigList. Ebay.... (local LGS has a couple of scales & turret presses, gently used, as of Monday)
Reloader's are always "upgrading".....
Right now....everything is hard to get.
You do want to acquaint yourself with CH4D. They make fantastic tools/dies! (they make dies for EVERY BLAME THANG!) Their case trimmer, PRIMER POCKET SWAGER/SEATER ....etc are really well made. (have had my CH4D case trimmer for 40+yrs, still SHARP!)
Hope this helps.
Later, Mark
