Swampy, those lee loaders were brought out when there were still paper shells being made. Those paper shells used fiber wads. Then, about when the loaders we have were made, the plastic shells and wads began to appear. That's why you see both in that instruction sheet. Mine says the same thing.
I bought mine on fleabay, just to have one. I tried to make some shells using red AA hulls. The crimp was nearly impossible to completely close by hand. I stuck the entire loader in a rifle press,(for the leverage), was able to get the crimp closed just fine. Paper shells fold closed with less than half the effort.
My answer to you is the same to anybody who's starting shotshell loading, get the Lyman shotshell handbook. Read it to get an understanding on whats involved. It also lists just about all loads that can be put in any shell made today, with today's components. You should be able to pick a load from there to be used with your lee loader.
