Never new they existed! Figured it would be an economical way to get started in reloading my 10 gauge shells. I probably would only load a box or so at a time so this looks like a great option to get me started. Anyone know where I could find one?

go to FLEABAY they have them for sale.
I looked and couldn't find a 10 gauge one can you post a link
Better get your CC ready..... these Lee kits are bringing stupid high prices.
Most popular shotgun kits are over $100

dsh1106, is right they are getting in telephone #brs. on prices !who would ever thought?? but don't give up-remember that even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then!!
Keep a eye out for a good deal , I picked up a 3 1/2 -10 gage off of eBay for 25. + shipping not to long ago .
On the other hand I was out bid on a 410 loader - I bid it up to 110
I want the 3.5” version.
I found a guy in Michigan called lanesreloading still makes these kits. Looks like the 3.5” is $65.00

I still Will still look to try and find a lee kit like the deal above first^^^
I found two listings on eBay for $199 each. I’ll save my money and buy a Mec 600 for $29 more that will do a way better job. The whole reason I was looking for a lee is I figured they could be bought cheap. Guess not in less you find a deal. I was hoping to find a set for 40 bucks give or take. The lanes kits brand new start at $50 in 10 gauge.
I saw some other crimp tool that chucked up to an electric drill For $29. Looks like I’d have to use cardboard cards instead of folding over the crimp.
Here’s the crimping tool...

Looks pretty easy for a $29 tool! My question is will the paper white in front of it be just as good as folding over plastic pedals? And how do I size the brass? I don’t plan on loading more than 25 or 50 at a time so I don’t care if it takes a long time as long as I can save some money with a cheaper kit like this instead of having to spend hundreds of dollars on a price.
I love to roll crimp . What are you intending to shoot them out of ? 2-7/8 or 3 in roll crimp shells would be a fun 10 gage project .
Then those Remington 10 gage wads would fit and stack good .
3 1/2 plastic shells out of my browning gold semi auto and 2 7/8” plastic cut down out of my 1890’s Charles daly.
I would like to load up some 2 1/4 oz #6 shot 3.5” for turkey. I would like to get by as economically as possible on reloading tools because I don't hardly shoot them.
If I bought a $29 ballistic products Cordless drill I insert I’m sure I could make the rest of the tools for reloading except for whatever is needed to resize the brass. I would assume I could get somebody to make a hollow metal tube to resize the Fired brass? Any suggestions?
A role crimper + 50 New primed hulls + a few wads and over shot cards gets you 2 boxes of loaded shells .
Don't forgot the powder . When you add up the cost you will find out it's probably cheaper to just buy a couple boxes , but what fun would that be .
No one sells 2 1/4 oz 6 shot lead loads anymore so that is why I wanted to get into loading for it.
Years ago I got a Mec for my 10 ga and the guy that had order it for me told me that that ammo will hard to find in what ever shot I want and let alone will not have the 2 7/8".I do have the data for the 2 7/8" for the 10 ga . I can load what ever I want. At the time I got the loader it was $75 new . I got the part to load the 2 7/8 on the press also. Now can do both length.
You can just buy the sizing ring from MEC and size the brass manually. Slow, but can be done . This is what I do to load 410 shells.

Thanks. Never reloaded shotgun before. I would assume a mec sizer and an 8 point crimp starter are about the only tools I’ll need. The rest of the tools I need that are similar to the lee loader kit look like they can be made pretty easily. Looks like both can be had for about $10 each. So for $20 I can make my own led style kit?
I would assume I just push this over my shell to get The crimp started?
I went down the 10 gage rabbit hole a few years ago thank goodness I lived through it . When I finally crawled out I had a lot of respect for store bought shells & a lot less money .
If you're trying to make factory equivalent turkey loads for hunting save yourself a lot of aggravation and just buy some would be my advice .
Now if you're interested in just enjoying yourself loading your own , go for it , but keep your expectations reasonable .
A roll crimper , & resizing ring will get you started . But you're not going to save money[smilie=1:
The reason I wanted to get into it is not to save money. It’s because Remington and Federal discontinued their 2 1/4” Oz #6 turkey loads. That’s about all I’d load up in 3.5”. I’d probably load up some lead BB for coyotes since I’m down to one box of 25, 10 gauge wingshot. I basically want do it be because of the lack of ammo offerings. Also it would be fun to load up some black powder equivalent loads for my 2 7/8” Damascus Charles Daly side-by-side and harvest a turkey with it. Might have to load some lead BB and take a coyote as well. I bought a couple of boxes of #5, 1 1/4oz RSTs to try but the gun is getting checked out by my smith along with installing a pair of new hammers on it.
That’s a good enough reason in my way of thinking , but I enjoy loading shells anyway .
If I can help in anyway I’d be tickled to do it .
A guy has a Ponses Warren 10 gauge loader advertised locally for $275 I noticed today. I want a 10 gauge someday, almost tempted to get it as a hedge against that.
