Lee Loaders

SCOUT5SCOUT5 Member Posts: 16,181 ✭✭✭✭
I still have a Lee Loader set for 35 Remington.   30+ years ago we used one to load .38 spcl and it made for cheap plinking.  With the 22 Hornet on the way I was thinking it might be handy to have one for it.   On the other hand I doubt I find myself in a situation that it would really be useful.

    They are around.  I like the Lyman 310 system much better. Get the tap in full length case sizer and a bullet sizer plus a mold.

     my first loading experience I knew nothing like a big 0 
    i went to a local gun shop found one (lee loader )  for a 45 apc . about 12.00 or so I  went to the counter said I want some bullets, primers ,and powder .. ( to prove how dumb I was  at that time I had no idea that it was a endless request as to what how many weight make )    lucky for me the old fellow at the counter was a good guy and a slow day  explained it to me and a bit about powders primers bullets with in in 15 minutes my knowledge of reloading jumped on the scale  from zero to .05 but off and running with in a couple months in  a local trade paper I found a single stage press and  several sets of dies and related items like a  scale for 50.00 . with that and my first reloading book the fellow at the gun shop  sold me 
     I was off and running .
    I gave away the old lee loader years ago along with the rcbs sing stage press a short time later 
     I have a couple turret presses that serve me well for many years , my youngest son took off on my gun hobby he has two Dillon 650"s ? set up one for 9mm and one for 5.56 but he also goes thru ammo faster than poop thru a goose
