Forum: Ammunition and Reloading

Last night, my father gave me an old Lyman reloading press, 1940s-1950s. He informed me that it had belonged to my Mentor!

I've scrounged some fired 9mm and .223 and 5.56 brass, Have bullets, powder, my 1990's Lyman single stage press and a NIB Dillon 750 without any dies (14 week wait time). So I'm looking for some loads for the 5.56 and .223 cases and all of my 1990's vintage load books have zero loads for heavier...

Seeing conflicting info online naturally. Just wanting to cover my bases. I have some small lots of ammo for sale and don't want to get tangled up into any stupid state laws.

Thanks to input and encouragement here, back in early October I decided to start reloading 9mm, 5.56 / .223, .308 and .38sp / .357. I just finished my test batch of 9mm. I had an old Lyman single stage turret that I am using for .308 and .30-06. I may actually use this for small batches of .223...
