Lee stopped making them a long time ago along with some of the other loader kits and custom calibre orders. Even with a lot of interest in the last couple years they said they will not start making...

I wouldn't use any older than a hundred years. I'd sell those to a collector.
Shot lots of 1950's-70's vintage recently, all as good as new.

Lee makes a seperate taper crimp die for most pistol cartridges. I have the .45 ACP sizer, expander, seater/crimp, FCD, and taper crimp die. I can then choose whichever dies I want or need for my...

Likely fired in a pistol without a fully supported chamber, known as a bulge. Some people fix them with a tool some people toss them.

I'm still in the first few thousand trims on my first Zip Trim and I'm very happy with it. Mostly .223/.308/.30-06. If it breaks I'll buy another from FS. This is what has probably kept me from...

With the Lee Reloader at $25, Breech Lock Challenger $59 and Classic Cast at $97 there are a few good cheap options to get into the hobby. Also with all the other great US made presses new and used I...

Could that be a Primer Pocket swager?

Just put another order in with FS last week, Greg and staff do a good job there.

If thats all you have to measure then I would use the lower load with the dipper to start, then the next one up as long as it is less than max load.
A scale is a must have so you can measure...

I'd recommend the Lee 50th kit and dies for your calibres along with a manual and set of digital calipres to measure the length of your rounds. I wouldn't worry about trimming cases with your two...

I really like the Lee 50th kit, Lee Classic Cast, and Lee Classic turret kit. I do quite a bit of loading with their various rifle and pistol dies, and prefer the Lee trimmer system for %99 of my...

I bought the Lee .314" sizer so I could crimp checks on my as cast .313" boolits without sizing them down or having to wait for a custom sizer. Been shooting this with starting Lyman loads in IMR 4198

For my rifle loading I found the spray on lubes I tried to be kinda crappy.
I did like the RCBS Case Lube 2 on a pad, Imperial Sizing die Wax from Redding, and Amsoil motor oil.
Most of the...

Win231/HP-38. Any primers you can get. I like Winchester since they are always stocked locally.

A Forster CoAx press might be handy for this with its lack of shellholders.

If the die needs to go in more you might try grinding the nut so it is thinner. Some turrets I think the nut can be mounted under the turret. Another brand of lock nut. The last choice would be to...

I didn't buy one and have just loaded primers one at a time by hand. I haven't been interested enough to try the $7.60 feeder, and may hold off yet.

I use a wooden table I can carry in and out of the shop. But one of those tool carts I have would work great. I think you have a good idea!

I've been loading a lot of single stage rifle lately and I use the lever prime on Lee presses. I haven't used any of my hand primers in a while.

Classic Turret Kit from FS Reloading (formerly known as Factory Sales) Yes it has a scale but also a manual.

I never reloaded any Berdan stuff. If I had a rare case to load with it I'd buy the RCBS primer remover tool and think a Lee die with the bottom of the expander/deprimer rod cut off would size easy?
