I got a Lee 4-die turret press for Christmas, and I have already loaded a box of .38 specials. It seems pretty easy and intuitive. I decap the brass, clean it, lube it, then resize, charge with the auto-powder thingie, then seat the bullet. Easy.
But then I moved on to reloading for my Swedish Mauser, and I realized half-way through the process that I don't have an expander die, so I can't hook up the auto-powder thing.
So am I supposed to charge the cases separately outside the press with a funnel? I can't use the auto-powder attachment? Does that only work with pistol rounds for some reason?
Edit: Also Lee didn't send me a funnel. Where can I get one that's small enough to fit in the .25 caliber neck of the 6.5x55 case?
