Don't think its not for real - he's a regular contributor on a local site

Yeah!!!!! Fine art. Skip the "ine space".

The bench rest shooters are salivating with anticipatory desire.

Match pistol shooters just sucked up 4.3 yards of upholstery from their couches after contemplating loading 3000 rounds a week by this method.

Notice how the whole world shook when he seated the primer and the bullet? Classic...

ZeSpectre · July 24, 2008, 08:10 AM

The part of the video left out is when he goes to the range and hands all of his reloads to someone else and says "here, try this out".

Ya gotta love it!

Don2 · July 24, 2008, 11:19 AM

Thank.....I have not laughed that loud in a long time...Thats just what I needed..!!!

Not putting down the Lee loader, (well not much)....but he needs a loading bench like he needs a tripod for his camera..

Thanks again
Don2

Is that how Cavemen reloaded ?

Michaelm45 · July 24, 2008, 11:51 AM

Thats Funny!

I bet the camera WAS on a tripod.

The Lee Loaders for necked rifle cartridges only neck size. It is even tougher to full length size my 45 ACP. (which I've done 50-100 rounds at a time with the Lee Loader)

As a portable reloading outfit, it is brilliant, and it whets the appetite for more reloading, and more equipment.

Dicky Lee knew what he was doing.

DEDON45 · July 24, 2008, 01:11 PM

Yep, I started with one of these... my stepdad didn't want to spend any money on even a single stage press, so he gave me one of those, a hammer, a piece of wood, and after me beating the thing to death out in the garage for a few hours, the noise drove him to call up Lee and order us a press...

hey I like that bullet seating technique!

Look, he made a loaded round. No, it wasn't pretty. But I'll bet it fires and does what he wanted it to do. I used to load .303 British with a Lee Loader. Still have the kit.

Scorch · July 24, 2008, 07:11 PM

Yea, my first loader was a Lee loader for 38/357. I was about 15 at the time. My brother bought it so I could reload the rounds I was going to shoot (of course he had a RCBS JR press). I wondered how some guys could go to the range and shoot up a whole box of ammo and not feel bad about how long it was going to take to reload it all.

Sgt.Dusk · July 25, 2008, 12:05 AM

I watched it through without laughing....but when I started to read your comments I bursted in open and loud laughter....thx guys
ps Im at work right now......you can imagine the looks of my collagues

kingbubbatruck · July 25, 2008, 12:38 AM

Uh, please tell me that video was a joke, right?

Leeman · July 25, 2008, 10:22 AM

Search "Richard Lee Loader" on youtube.com

I'm trying to figure out just what he's using for a base that's
so quiet. Appears to be some sort of Arkansas Stone for knife
sharpening placed over a wet sponge. Hard yet forgiving.
Not sounding like a construction site is a real plus.
Any Ideas?

ForneyRider · July 29, 2008, 08:12 PM

Rght on to the guy using a 2x4.

Meager beginnings, but hey you have to start somewhere.

I think it would be fun to use the Lee Lader or Lee Hand Loader on a hike. Not much different than using a muzzleloader.

Lee scale for 20$, or set of dippers would be a good investment.

Watching that process makes me happy to have just a single stage press (still kind of want a progressive).
