Hey guys,

I just picked up a nice Lee hand loader in .38/.357 but it is missing all the paperwork, does anyone have a PDF or a set they could copy? This is a much older loader in the black/red cardboard box but newer paperwork would do if I change the dipper to a CC TYPE.

E-mail is preferred over PM.

Thanks!

The Lee site has instructions for their products. Here are a couple of links:

Thanks for the links but already been there, I need/want the caliber specific load data to put away with the tool so its self contained and ready to use for anyone down the line :)

Here is the dipper chart. I'd suggest a reloading manual for loads and match those loads to the dipper needed...

LEE also sells the load data sheets by themselves for $1 each.

I occationally like to go "retro" and use one of my Lee Loaders for a small run (38/357, .44 Mag./Spec., 30-30, and .223). My .44 Loader would pop primers at about 2 per 50 rounds until I went with a larger hammer. Seems like a larger hammer has more "push" rather than "impact". Dead blow would work even better...
