You can get set up to reload for .223 for less than the cost of 100 factory rounds

The Lee hand kit (Lee Loader) is ideal to learn on & priced about the same as a set of dies.
Somewhat slower than a normal press to use, but an ideal learning tool which is more than capable of turning out highly accurate reloads at a massive cost saving

Hell - here's an offer - I'll send you 50 re-sized cases to get you started.
Anyone want to donate 50 bullets?

I'd donate some but we'd need to see an FAC wouldn't we? I'll donate some case prep kit though, de-burrer and primer pocket cleaner.

No FAC needed - only for live ammo/live primers (non-Shotgun)

Cool

Anyone have a few bullets (FMJ or OTM) to add to the pot?

I'd suggest future proofing the setup with one of the proper press kits Lee do. About £125 at Kranks.

Those Lee Loaders look like hard work for anything more than a few rounds at a time, though I haven't tried them.

Lee Loaders are very very easy to use.
Also handy to have to make up test rounds without adjusting dies or powder measures.
