MidwayUSA has the Lee Classic Loader in 303 British for $26.99 available to ship. They also have the Lee 2-Die set for $18.79 and the Deluxe 3-Die set for $33.99.

I started with the Lee Loader in 7x57 Mauser about 47 years ago. Popped about 3 primers over the years due to my own inattention.

After I got married and also in the Navy, I got a Lee Loader for the .357 magnum and a Speer manual. The dipper was slow and didn't offer the loads I wanted so I got a Lyman scale. Production was pretty good when my bride weighed the charges and I did the 'whacking'.

However, one day she spilled the beans. She was only doing the weighing because she didn't have anything else to do. Next purchase was an RCBS uniflow powder measure.

Still use the Lee Classics for test loads or just decapping cases, etc.
