1 in 8 Wolf 75gr if you can find it. also wolf gold. 69gr works well out of 1 in 8 as well.

Thanks. The Compass Lake barrels/uppers are twice the price of the WOA, are they worth that much more?
I had some bad luck with 69gr PPU in my HBAR upper. It generally shoos about 1-1.5 MOA, found some ammo (75 gr PPU and hand loads) that got me down to 0.5 MOA, but 69 gr PPU had me about 3-5 MOA. Went back to the 75gr and got 0.5 again. Results where the same over different range trips when I was doing some load and velocity testing.
The way some barrels like certain loads, there are some hated loads.
So whats the cheapest I can get into reloading .223? Anyone upgrading and selling their cheapo single stage setup??
If you can't find a good used deal, look for a turret press when the big sales come around. It's a good starting point, a little more advanced (less headache) then a single stage and not as expensive as a progressive.
If you are technical enough, save up and get a Dillon 550 and someone to coach you. But that' generally not advised.

First, get someone to teach you the details of reloading. Will save you some time, money and maybe a hospital trip.
