LEE Loaders you wish they made.

[Combat Diver]

I've got a few: .270 Win, .338 WM, .41 mag, 38-40 and used to have a .38 S&W

Of all the calibers I've saw, believe it or not I've never ran across a 38 S&W.

I have one. Use it for my top-break S&W's.
I would like to find a .32 S&W long set.

Does anyone use the Lyman Ideal "Shell Resizers"? One full length resizer in a little box along with a punch to knock out the shell. Simple.

I depend on my .32-40 full length sizer from Ideal. I snap up every additional caliber I can find, and now have a pretty eclectic mix.

You and me both!

I also have a bunch of these things. But in spite of good intentions I have never used any of them. Clearly, I have not been shooting enough.

No Problem, Unc! Just box them up and send them to me, and I'll keep them busy until you're ready for them! I could use a .32-20 and a.38-55 especially, and haven't even started gathering the ones for pistol calibers. Let me know, and I'll eagerly await your response.

I started with a LEE Loader and despite all the dies and presses I've picked up over the years I still use them for small quantities and oddbals. I wish I could find one in 8 Lebel.

[Swampthing762]

I wish they would make a Lee Loader in the .500 S&W Magnum. I currently use the hand press kit due to lack of space, but a Classic Loader would be much easier to use. Otherwise, I will have to send my Handi-Rifle for a .45-70 barrel.

I can't imagine how hard it would be to pound a 500 S&W case into one of those. The 357 Magnum and 45 Colt are hard enough. I need to get one in 44 magnum just to get an idea.

[Swampthing762]

The 44 magnum is very easy to reload. I can load one of those in about 75 seconds. I like to take my time and make sure everything is right. I still would love to see one in 500 s w magnum.

Its not that hard to make lee loaders if you have a lathe and a complete set of drill bits. My wife bought me one in 303 British for our anniversary and I remade it out of mild stainless steel with a few modifications (I made it so that I could load pp boolits that where too big for the original loader.) Since then I gave the original to my brother-in-law. Heres the one I made. I have reloaded many a cartridge with it. I made the leather case too.

[bremington]

My first was 12 ga, then .357, then 9mm. Now its on to the press with lots of options. The 12 ga. works best with the old paper shells. The plastic shells were harder to get the crimps right. I wish Lee would make dies to load .410 Depriming is easy with a punch and hammer with the shell set on a nut. Reprime with a piece of 3/8 steel brake line, hammer and solid surface. Measure powder, insert wad, measure shot. Now insert shell in press, run it up into the crimp starting die, bring shell down, turn turrent, run shell into crimp die. Simple, HUH

Well I picked up a Lee Unitized Loader for the 280 Rem some time back and this afternoon brought a std Lee Load in 270 Win off the auction site for 10.49 US. Shame the post and packing came to near $20 US.

So hopefully it will be winging it's way across the pond soon.

Now I want to find one of the Zero Error ones in good condition for one of the following cartridges:-

.222 Rem
244/6mm Rem
.243 Win
6.6x55 Swedish
7x57 Mauser
25-06 Rem
.308 Win

Just one would do........................... that's not asking too much is it?
