Many people on this board have given me good advice on the best Lee kit to buy. I will probably end up going with the Lee Classic Turet.

Before I do that, I wanted to buy the Lee Classic kit for my .38 special to try reloading a box or two. They are so inexpensive. I read, I think it was on this board, about a guy losing his thumb with one. He made some sort of mistake and a loaded round went off. The thought of banging on a charged shell does not exactly thrill me. I wish I could find the original post. I don't think it was a hoax.

Have you heard of any safety issues with this loader?
