I found a hand reloader made by Lee for .45 ACP. It's in a box about 5" x 6" with a decapper, a die, a primer loader, a primer remover pin, a case removing tool, bullet seater, and a # 039 powder measure. The brass is hammered into the parafin lubed die then the primer is removed, the case removed from the die and a primer inserted, the powder added the bullet seated and it's all sone with a hammer, one round at a time.
Does anyone remember these? Does the powder measurer add the correct amount of grains depending on the powder type. The loading chart lists 4 types of powder and weights of 4.2 to 5.9 grains.
Can anyone offer any help with using this loader?
