Lee loader question:

[yellowknifedave]

Howdy.

Just started using my lee loader and have a question for the pros:

I made 4 dummy rounds out of my berdan primed brass, and they do not fit my rifle. I shoot three rifles in 6.5 swede, and my brass fired through my mauser will not fit my other two rifles.

The Lee loaders only size the neck, not the whole case. Is there an attachment I can get to resize the whole case, or do I have to upgrade to dies and a press to fire out of the two rifles with slightly smaller chambers?

Thanks!

YKD

"...an attachment I can get..." Not for a Lee Loader.
"...to fire out of the two rifles..." The brass must be FL resized when using the same brass out of two rifles. That's a press and an FL sizer die.

Could keep your brass in seperate lots for each paricular rifle. If you get into serious load developement you will probably find that each one likes a different load anyway.

Otherwise you are looking at getting a press.

They make very accurate reloads (I weigh my powder charge still with a 5-0-5 scale). I use my Lee Loaders quite a bit and love them but you have to keep the fired brass with the rifle it was shot out of.
