Lee Loader

[Psweigle]

I use my lee loader alot especially in the field. Its a lot of fun sitting at camp making ammo. Ive used my camp reloads to hunt with successful on more than one occasion. As was stated, everything needed fits in an ammo can. And as for accuracy, they are just as accurate as the ones done on any of my bench mounted presses.
It is a shame that you are in an area of the world where it is very prohibitive to reload, but you wont be disappointed with your ammo from the lee loader. If you have any questions on the process or problems that you may have, feel free to pm me, I would be glad to help.

I have used a tapered socket as an expedient case mouth expanding tool. Just place it in the case mouth and tap with a hammer. Not very consistent, but it works.

Don't listen to the naysayers, the Lee Loader will serve you well. I perform each step on the whole batch of brass before moving on. Deprime all the cases, then resize all the cases, then prime all the cases, add powder and bullet for all the cases, you get the idea. If you can get a scale that measures in grains, that will help you out a lot.

Hi Scotty, thanks. The powder scale is not an controlled item, so it will be easy to get one around here.
That Lee Loader will serve me well because it´s light,portable, and offers a good relaxation time , even if it´s slow.The seller guarantees that the flaring tool comes along with the kit.

I actually started with a single stage press and then bought my first Lee Classic Loader. It’s defintely possible to crank out quality ammo with the Lee Loader, and not much slower than a single stage press, but it would be nerve wrecking to do several hundred rounds a month with one. Fifty rounds a month wouldn’t be a problem. If I had only a Lee Loader I would invest in a hand primer.

The hand primer would be on my order list as well.
The Target kit they made for 223/5.56 came with a basic hand primer tool..... one primer at a time...... very portable..... safer with Sel&Bel brass.
One ragged hole at 100yd ammo.... no problem.
Still have a 45ACP case trimmer for the first set I purchased.

As an update, received today my Lee Loader and it indeed came with a flaring tool, so everything is fine, thanks, regards, Ray

Love Lee Loader

I've been reloading with the Lee Loader for years. Every spring, I buy two or three boxes of 38spcl, and reload them over and over all summer long. The next spring, I start over with new brass. Only this year, am I looking to move to a press, and only because I'm about to start adding other calibers.

Contact Lee with your question about the expander. I'll bet they have a good answer. My .38spcl came with one

Hi Bronco the Kit came with the expander.
Thanks, Regards, Ray

The Lee Hand Press would be my suggestion
Breech Lock Hand Press - Lee Precision

I'll second that suggestion. I have one and do all my handgun resizing and flaring while relaxing in my La-Z-Boy recliner. That's my occupational therapy.
