Hello Doofus47.Please excuse my bad typing form. I took typing in 1967,and have not used it much since then. My lee loader was about $15 or so in the late seventies. This is the mallet and dipper kit. Mine has the plastic one size primer seater. The purchase of a deluxe turret press from lee, and some $15 used rcbs dies for the 7.7 really speeded up making ammo. The first cases I made were from '06 brass resized with a chamfered sleeve in a vice. I cut the necks with a tubing cutter, and pushed the shoulder back untill they would just chamber.

Sounds hilarious, when one pass in the fl die and trim is all I do now.

Best guess I have is to check midsouth, and others for best price on loading gear. Any single stage press and appropriate dies will get you shooting that 99.
I dont know if lee still makes their original loader in 7.7 jap anymore.
