If you buy 223 it is less stuff to buy to convert to a 9mm than from 9mm to 223. Also you will need for 223 some additional stuff to even get started if you have never reloaded before pick you up the newest lyman reloading manual and read the first part of it before you really make the decision of single stage press or progressive.if i had it to do over again i would have went single stage first cause there is a learning curve with reloading mostly for die adjusting and seating depth adjustments hope this helps you out on your journey into reloading

The 9mm and the 223 are no problem bot the 3006 can be done with some patience. The 30/06 is longer and must be removed after the bullet is installedand before you start to rotate the loading plate

i do not believe that it is large enough to reload the 30.06 cartridge.For 5.56 and 9mm, it is a great press. It takes a little tweaking to get it running perfect, and in the case of your 5.56 cases, you'd have to clean and swage your primer pockets beforehand.

Buy the kit for the 223 you can go to 9mm with new dies and shell carrier 223 is the biggest this line of reloading press can handle

Sorry I only use it on 9mm. I works fine for that cal. both for my Sig and Glock

It will work with 223 & 5.56....I have mags loaded with both and I used the easyloader :)

I believe it will work great. I have mine mounted on a rem. 700 varmint .223, it holds zero and the adjustment are spot on. Have fun!

I like the rounded or pointed pellets. I've never used hollow pointed; I've heard they aren't very accurate. I just use the cheap crossman pointed

I suggest the splatter targets, since they leave a bigger signature and the .223 is a smaller caliber---a 100yards is about max with that scope

The P-223 is perfect for me as I rarely shoot over 100yds in hunting applications. Occasionally I do shoot out to 300yds on targets. The P-223 has great turrets with real crisp adjustments. The ProStaff that you mentioned is a good scope too so it really depends on what you are trying to do with it.

I have it on a 30-06 and its flawless so far. I have put maybe 300 rds through rifle with this set up and not problems at all. I would just make sure to have the right rings for it. You want the rings that will get you closest to the barrel but this has a large 50mm Objective lens so it's probably mid rings, not low rings. I like the utg max rings due to have 4 screws to secure this puppy down well.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking forward to trying it out. I hope it cuts down on wasted ammo while dialing in the sites.Rob

Bought mine on sale 2 yrs ago at Wally's. Came with .177 and .22 barrels. Easy enough to check - just open the box!...Recommend you replace scope. I swapped for a Barska 2-7x32 Air Gun Scope. EXCELLENT pellet gun for the money, especially with a better scope mounted. Really nice wood furniture too. Using wadcutter pellets, I can hit a bottle cap mounted SIDEWAYS - OFFHAND at the 10 meter competition distance on a regular basis!!! To the reviewer who said it was a piece of junk - suggest he read the break-in period info and practice a little more. :-) Performance smooths out at about 300 rounds during which time, I found that wadcutters work best for mine - YMMV.

In specifications says ¨For 9MM/.365 TO.60LN¨, I only used it for 9mm, and it works OK, check Youtube, maybe you find something usefull about it

I haven't used it with .223/5.56, with .308/762 the only media left is in the primer pocket. Due to the process I use, I de-prime prior to polishing.

im taking mine to the range this weekend on a 5.56 nato 62 grain rifle. i'll post results after!

I have both .177 and 22 cal love them. However depending on how you plan on using your rifle I suggest 1st. get rid of the crappy scope. I installed a UTG 3X9x40 with illuminated GBR mill dot reticle around $70.00 (Optical Planet). Second replace the trigger with a GTX adjustable $30.00 (Air Guns of Arizona) you will be amazed with the difference. If you have to make a choice go with the trigger. I am thinking about adding a sling as these rifles are heavy which is good.Please let me know how things work out.Semper FiMolon Labe CHS USMCL

I just reload 223 and300 blackout but it looks tall enough to do 7 mms or 30.06 hope this helps

I have used it successfully for 9mm and 45ACP. It says it is designed for 40cal. If it works as well for a 40 as it did for the 9 and 45 then you have a reliable and handy tool.

No I haven't used it with .300 BO, but I have used it with .308 Win and .223.
