I reload in batches and the hand press is darn convenient. I listen to books on CD during the mechanical operations like depriming, expanding the case mouth, and bullet seating. (I typically use an...

I've had good results with the Lee 309 170 gr. FN GC in an '03 Springfield and M1917 for 30-06, 30-30, and 308 Savage. (I'm sure a better marksman would benefit from the different bullet weights Lee...

Thanks to all for the information. T/C customer service wasn't able to help. But knowing I can use regular cast bullets, such as I use for the Ruger Single-Six, is a relief. I'll only be using this...

Thanks for the confirmation about the 308 bore.

If it matters, I can insert and extract a regular 32 long cartridge in the Contender with no problem.

The other day I got a 6.5 inch bull barrel in 32 magnum that fits on my G1 frame. I have plenty of Contender barrels but never heard of a Contender barrel this short. The only thing I can find on the...

Well, it only took a few years of looking but I finally found a Lee Loader for 12 gauge in good condition, complete, and affordable. (Ten bucks!! Yay, me!)

I like using the Loaders to make black...

An oversized ceramic coffee mug I didn't use anymore. Easy to empty and easy to clean.

Thanks for posting the article. It's interesting to see how attitudes, tools and costs have changed (or haven't) over the past 100 years. It also makes me realize how good reloaders have it today.

You are speaking for me. The pace of my shooting is slower these days but I'm enjoying it more. The Lee Loaders suit me fine, especially when working up new loads. And they are the cat's pajamas for...

The 1.9 Lee dipper gives 30.3 of FFFG black powder, according to Richard Lee's Modern Reloading book. In a new model Vaquero 45 Colt, I use that dipper with Goex BP, a lubed felt wad, and my usual...

I've always used the Lee .457 RB mold with good results. Never tried conicals in the ROA.

My 03 likes the Lee 170g, gas check, sized to 311 and lubed with Lee liquid alox. Don't have my notes handy but it is a reduced load good to 200 yards but I usually go to 100 yards. I use the Lee...

Guys,
Thanks for the further advice and mentioning the Lee Bator mold. I hadn't heard of it. Turns out Midsouth just got some in recently. As a bonus, I saw they have another special order Lee mold...

Thanks for the confirmation and the link. Just ordered the Lyman mold and gas checks from Midway. I've never cast anything smaller than .357 and have only used Lee molds but they don't offer anything...

Just got a couple of barrels for an original model Contender: 10 inch octagon barrels in 22 Hornet and 222 Rem (NOT the magnum). Would the Lyman #225415 mold work for both calibers? That would be...

I have a No. 4 Mark 1 which slugs out at .310. (I was surprised, figured it would be larger.) The M-N, Tula 1940, slugs at exactly .312. Was hoping to use the same bullet for both. I have a Lee 312...

Hi Dframe,
I don't mind the slowness of the Loader. I use faster means for handgun ammo but enjoy a slower, more deliberate pace for rifles. Shooting and reloading is relaxing for me. Probably why...

Dave, Thanks for the heads up about the Leverevolution brass. I hadn't heard that before. Fortunately, most of my brass is Starline. Thinking about it, all my brass probably predates Levrevolution. I...

Thanks. That's what I needed to know. This is a great group!

Any loader I get will be new. I rarely, if ever, see used rifle cartridge Lee Loaders around here. People just seem to hold on to...

I shoot 45-70 in an old Navy Arms rolling block. I've always full length resized the cases. Now that I have the Lee Loader bug I want to try one for the 45-70. I intend to get one for each rifle I...

Many thanks! Just the info I needed. Placed the orders this morning. Jeff

I want to use a lee loader for a Mosin Nagant 91/30 7.62x54mm. Probably need .312 or .313 cast bullets. Haven't slugged the barrel yet. Will the loader provide enough expansion to fit the bullets or...
