I've only been reloading for 2 years now and I started on a Lee Single stage and have since moved up to a fully loaded progressive.

For some reason I am attracted to the basic Lee Loader in a way that I can't explain.
Not only do I buy them for calibers that I own but also for calibers that I think I will one day own.

I especially like the old sets in cardboard boxes.

I have no problem driving the bullet into a charged case since there is no way of striking the primer the way the tool is designed.

I have yet to pop a primer but I know that day may come.

I know that the chances of me needing to rely on a Lee loader to make ammo are slim but they are nice to have around.
