Does anyone know if Lee still has any parts for the old style hand loaders?

By old style, do you mean the original Lee Loaders from the 1960s?
OP
The single loaders, where everything is done by hand. I have some and want to get rid of them, but I need a decapping chamber for the 357 set.

OP
Thank you. I searched on their site and couldn't find what I was looking for. 9 Bucks worth of parts, 14 bucks shipping....sheeesh.
Guess I don't need them that bad.
Check EBAY, I bet there are some there.

Oddly enough, when I searched their site I couldn't even find the Lee Loaders. But when I searched Google I found it.

It's on the Lee Precision site under reloading dies. Or "Lee Loader" in their search function brings them all up.
Old used loaders are on e-bay for prices not much cheaper than buying new. I sold a dozen sets a few years ago and only got 20 bucks for the lot. Not a lot of interest these days. Every body has enough money to buy a press.

I started handloading many years ago with LLs, CF and shotshell, and I still have several. And occasionally I still use them if I am going to load just a few rounds. No idea what they bring on eBay, probably not much. But they are still viable options for beginners and those who do not need to reload in large quantities.

Wilson in Oregon has a decaping system consisting of a punch and a base which works well. It's possibly better than the old Lee loader system and I'll venture that it's probably cheaper.
