I bought a Lee Classic Smack 'Em tool off craigslist in .25/35 Winchester for $10 cheap. Unfortunately the load chart has gone missing. Is there anyone here who could scan one on both sides and email the image to me? I'd be eternally grateful for at least a couple of weeks.

Yeah, I know there's all kinds of load data for .25/35 available, I just want the load chart so I can use the 108 measure in the set. I emailed Lee and they only have the chart they pack with the current production dies.

Get a LEE manual and it will have the data.

I have the current Lee book, it has their current data. I want the original chart which came with the loader. It has the OLD data for the black dipper # 108.

Thanks,

If that is the old style box check under the styro insert tray, I have found two missing load charts there from other deals

There is nothing magic about Lee's data and there is nothing wrong with making up your own data from existing manuals.
If you have a set of black dippers you can determine what the powder charge will be for any given powder. Match it to 25-35 data knowing that Lee's loads were pretty light and stick with extruded powders.

To answer your original question, I finally found my Lee/Mequon set with 108 dipper and read the following:

BW 85-90 IMR 4895 24.3
BW 100-105 IMR 3031 23.2
BW 100-120 IMR 4320 24.8

This was copied directly off the card included in my .25-35 Loader. Hope it will be of some use to you.

That's precisely what I was after Froggie, thank you so very much.

Bandit7.5- I looked under the tray first. That's where I've found the data cards in other sets, too.
