Lee load all II

Also have one and its dandy. Like above its really handy for loading slugs, but if you looking to make normal pellet loads in larger volumes, you can buy the factory stuff cheaper than you can make it if u factor in your time, and small quantity of components. If u plan on doing large volumes for trap then this little fella is not quite up to snuff compared to the progressives out there.

for the dollars spent, a very usefull and efficient press, not reccomended for high volume reloading.

had my 20 gauge for almost 30 years now and love it.
components are getting quite pricey lately; although, I would expect a price adjustment; cabelas have a big sale on CCI primers... in the U.S. only.
 
I have 2 of them. One for slugs and one for 7/8oz skeet loads. I load about a flat a week on mine and been doing so for over a year never had a problem till I forgot to move my finger and slammed it with the press. My idiot mistake. Great lil press
 
I have 2. One for 12ga and one for 20ga. I have been using the 20ga one for more than 30 years for bunny hunting. 12ga has only been around for about 10yrs or so.
I also have 2 MEC Jr's. One for .410 and one for 20ga. I hardly ever use the MEC's since the Lee's are so much easier to set up and change loads in.
 
+1 to what everyone said.

Have a 12 ga version that I use exclusively for buckshot and soon, slugs. Works great for buckshot (buckshot is counted and loaded manually, not through the shot hopper). The crimp is good and tight.
 
+1 for slugs, although I would like to have a good scale to confirm thrown charge weights with the charge bushings.
 
I have two, one here, one at the cottage. One I got for free, the other I paid $15 for at a garage sale.
It's a cheaply made press, but it does work well enough. Best used not to long before shooting, as the crimps will open with time.
 
I have noticed that the quality of the hulls reloaded makes more of a difference to the crimp quality than the press used. Walmart special Federal or Winchester 100 pack shells with the aluminum or steel bases don't like to crimp I believe due to the plastic used for the hull. But some of the nice trap type shells or even slug buck shot do. Old Winchester AA or some of the newer Remington (STS?) trap hulls are what people have recommended to me, although I have not used these yet.
