    Default Loading for rifle. What MORE do I need.

    I've loaded many thousands of rounds of pistol ammo. I've got a press, tumbling stuff, and the basic stuff. Now I need to gear up to load .223/5.56mm, and .308/7.62NATO at some point down the line.

    Obviously I need dies. What does everyone recommend?

    I won't be shooting farther than 100 yards, and not entering any benchrest matches. What other stuff do I need to load rifle ammo for semi-auto rifles, and what do I not need but should have?

    A set of dies and case length gauge for each caliber.
    If loading for semi-auto only, you don't need neck sizing dies so a set like Lees Pace Setter Dies will suffice.

    Some form of case lube and a way to do the inside of the neck. I use Imperial Case Sizing Wax and Imperial Dry Neck Lube Powder.
