Yeah, but I got a combined shipping price with some other junk from the same seller, that probably puts the net $ down around Cabela's.
Glad to get it, anyhoo.

I guess I lucked out I was at a gun show and the vendor had a whole pile of Lee loaders for $10.00 ea. I got .308, .300 Sav, .32 WS, .338wm, 12ga.,30-30.
When I saw him at the next show he said a guy bought all the rest.
I am still looking for .38-40.
Sounds like the way I do business!the one I just gave away was a 1960s model ($8.99 retail) and I bought it for $30 so who am I to talk...
Buy high, sell low, and make it up in volume???
When I own anything, and decide to sell it, it simply ain't worth "crap".
Now, if somebody else owns the identical same item, it automatically becomes "vintage & valuable"...go figure.

Knowledge without understanding is a dangerous thing. For a little knowledge entices us to walk its path, a bit more provides the foundation on which we take our stand, and a sufficient amount can erect a wall of knowledge around us, trapping us in our own ignorance.
Never sleep, never die
Knowledge is easy to get, but worthless if you never use it. However the info is free, so the only person you have to blame is yourself if you chose not to use the information.

My 12 ga. Lee Loader sits on the shelf above my loading bench. Red cardboard box, my name and date, 1964, on the inside. Haven't used it in years, but wouldn't part with my first loader.
I too used a Lee loader for my shotgun shell reloading about 44 years ago. One was still going when I loaned it out about 10 years ago. I don't look for it back as I bet it still works. Richard Lee did a lot at a price many poor boys could afford.
I've used an Ideal 310 tool alot and still do.
I've got a box full of Belding & Mull Straightline reloading stuff after giving a lot away to get new reloaders going. Recently use my B&M to form and load .22/.30-30 AI. Challenging but fun. Any sources for B&M bits and pieces?
Good reloading & Shooting,
JRP
My first reloading tool was a LeeLoader, in 35 Remington, about 18 years ago. Made quite a bit of ammo with it for a Marlin 336, wish I still had it (and the 336).
As stated above, Richard Lee is responsible for more than his fair share of people getting involved in reloading. As a matter of fact, if it weren't for Lee products, I would have never tried handloading OR boolit casting. I'll admit, I have moved on to other brands of some products, but I still use a fair amount of Lee gear.
