Lee Loader question...

[Beentown]

I have decided I REALLY like the Lee Loaders for load work up. I have a question that I think I know the answer to but wanted verification,,,

The Lee Loaders only neck size...correct? If that is the case then it probably wouldn't work in the same capacity for working up my AR loads. Two are 5.56 chambers and the other two are Wylde chambered.

Is my line of thinking correct?

Yes.

Not for auto-loaders as they only neck size.

You would be better off just getting a Lee hand press and use the reloading dies & shell holders you already have to have anyway.
In all calibers.

Why don't you bring prepped and EMPTY cases to the range, and just use the loader to charge and seat bullets?

Probably what I am going to do as almost all my calibers/brass have crimped primers anyway. I was just looking for confirmation that the Loader was a neck size only.

I had thought about using a hand press but didn't wanna have to take dies off of the turrets or buy a second set of dies as I have a good amount of $ wrapped up at such an early stage.

do the dies come with the press on most of these ?

Not the dies in the Lee Loader kit, they don't come with a mallet either.

what about dillon 550b?

PH,

I have no issues with the LCT. Look up Lee Loader on YouTube. It is a very portable way of loading.

Being as you would be buying a press and the manufacturer has no idea what caliber you are wishing to reload for it highly unlikely, would you not say?

What if you are wishing to reload for more than 1 caliber? You think they are to supply you the dies for all.

With that said, I'm sure Dillon would be more than happy to sell you dies for any caliber they furnish, as would any other manufacturer.

No, they don't supply a mallet either, you have to buy your own with the 550.
