No, not the Load -All, it's the one they call Classic and thanks to a fine gentleman on this forum, there's going to be one headed my way soon. |

You will spend many enjoyable nights loading one box of shells. But, you will load them exactly the way you want them. |

Bring back memories from the 60s. I loaded many 12 ga shells with one of those.
Later on, I loaded 357 mag, 25/06 and 7 Rem mag. |

Picked up a 16ga. one at my favorite pawn shop this morning. Good as new with all the papers in the box. Should be a convenient tool to have on occasion. |

I own 5 single stage presses that are reserved for loading plastic target shells and use my Lee Loader exclusively to load RMC brass hulls for my hunting needs. After the primers have been replaced, it takes about 30 seconds to complete each shell. |

rudyc: That is one of the early versions. Later versions also included six and eight point crimp starters. Unless you are loading only paper hulls, you will need to find the crimp starters. I doubt that Lee supplies them any more. There may be some still to be had online. However, I think you could probably use one from a conventional press as a hand tool. Lee also made a wad seater accessory that supposedly made seating wads easier. |

Ok I am confused. Lee calls everything load-all or classic. Are we talking about those silly little loaders in the box?
Wow I hated them. My grandfather gave me his, they are still in a drawer in my gunroom. I have a 12 ga, an "06 and maybe a 14 colt.
I tried to show my son how to use the 12 ga loader one time. Relized my gramdfather quit using it when he used uo all his paper hulls, and couldnt get the plastic to crimp
That's funny "spend many "enjoyable" evenings loading a box of shells.....
I don't remember anything enjoyable about the experience. |

I believe that Rudy is planning on loading a few RMC all brass hulls. |
