Were the Lee Loaders made in 375 winchester?
These are the little reloading kits that are hammer driven; resize the case by driving it into the sizing die with a hammer. If so I am in the hunt or one.:Fire:
Thank you

Don't know if they ever made them in that caliber or not, but Lee still makes a hand operated press/tool that uses regular dies and shellholders. It is light and as portable as the LeeLoaders and sells for less than $20. Here's a link to one at Midway: http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=410804

I have one of the hand presses and they are....handy:roll: . I have been known to sit in front of the TV and resize brass.
I have a co-worker that has a 375 and am assisting with a source of reasonably priced ammo. He is one that shoots a couple times right before deer season to sight in, one or twice during the season. Though the Lee Loaders are slow for volume loading, I think it will fit his needs perfectly. If it was me, I would have no problem going the route you describe. If you have to buy all the equipment, it can get expensive quickly. Even with one on the basic reloading kits, one can be into $100 quickly. I was hoping that I would be able to pick a Lee Loader for $20-$40. They are simple, compact and all you need is there. You just need to add components.
A bit long winded....

Yep... They made one in 375 Win... I've got one. I've got one for every one of my levergun calibers, even 450 Marlin. I bought that one from a fellow that had special ordered it while they still did SOs for the kits. I wouldn't head out on an extended hunting trip without it for the caliber of rifle I'm hunting with.
I purchased the 375 Win kit off eBay for less that $15. You might want to watch eBay, AuctionArms and GunBroker. You can put together a search that will send you an email when a "375 Win* Lee Loader" is listed.
