Lake City is the plant, ATK (Federal is one of their brands) is the company that has the contract to run the plant.

Right you are. Federal=Lake City.

Right you are. Federal=Lake City.

 

Not all federal equals Lake City, though.  That's kinda backwards, the way you stated it.

 

Lake City is Federal, with Federal being the parent company.  Federal doesn't means it's Lake City... 

[wetncold]

Correct. Hey, it was early and my cup was still half full.

[98Z5V]

Yep - completely understand that one...  <lmao>

 

I can't believe how nice LC 5.56 brass is to load, and how much it SUCKS to load Fed .223 or 5.56.  That $hit is aggravating to process for the first reload...  :rant2:

Just had to say that wideners is pretty fast on shipping. Ordered 100rds on Thursday when heminut posted this and I chose fed ex ground, shipped from TN to RI and I have them in my hand @ 10:30 sat morning. I'm impressed.

I've been looking at reloads lately.  What type / model of reloader do you have?

GRA,I also have been thinking of getting back into reloading. I did a lot of reloading back in the early 1970s. To show how long it's been my press,scales, and measure was HERTERS. I think that I will go with the Lee setup several places have a set for around $115 to $120. I have AMAZON Prime and the shipping for 2 day is free and they show that they have them in stock. I have Lee shotshell loaders in 12 and 20 gauge and there ain't no flies on either one.

Sounds typical of some of us.  I haven't reloaded since I was in the Boy Scouts working on my rifle and shotgun merit badge ... LOL

 

Needless to say that has been a LONG TIME AGO and I don't remember much about the equipment that was used.  We only did shotgun shells anyways.

 

I also have Amazon prime.  Please advise on what you purchase and what you think of it once you've used it a bit and I'll do some research.  I know I don't need a production reloader but I do need to be able to load several calibers and really don't know where to start.

 

I do know that from what I see others say about reloading is they seem to enjoy it a lot these days.

Anyone ever try to sort through Gunbot.net for prices?

RCBS equipment.  I vary the die sets, based on who I think makes the best die set for a particular caliber.

there a a few sites like gunbot that show live prices, I use them as a reference all the time.
