Decided to try the X-Ring reloader in 410

I had been looking for a Lee for quite some time. I stumbled upon this loader and decided to give it a try.
The fellow was great to deal with and the loader arrived 10 days after ordering it.

A nice fellow from Cobourg connected me with some fired hulls and my buddy Frank gave me some AA Wads.

I loaded two in a couple minutes as the instructions are pretty well done and easy to follow. Longest part was weighing the shot as I’m a bit of a stickler for that sort of thing. Total process for the two first ones were maybe 7 or 8 minutes.

After that prep was about a minute a hill including priming and about 2 more to load.

This thing is marketed as a survival loader but that tool will see a lot of use on my bench. It is really well built and does 2.5-3” shells.

The shells shot well and patterned very well.

So overall I like it better than my Lee loaders.

Here are my pics

Does it size down the brass too?

Hi Fox
Yes it does which is fantastic. All my hills were not shot in my gun.

Those are a pretty kool tool for loading small batches. !! Looked at em a while back (similar ones) bomb proof I'd say..LOL
Thanks for the update !

Very cool option, I only shoot a handful of 410 a year and was thinking of reloading brass .303 into 410 but this might be easier. How was crimping?

Crimping was an absolute piece of cake.

Just watch video.
