Lee Loader experience

[Odindad]

I have a lee loader in 6.5x55 and just started "hammering" loads with it. My friends laughed at me beating my brass with a mallet until I shot 3/4" group at 200 yds. Anyone else using these?

I started out reloading with them about 35 years ago in both 30/06 and .38/357. I haven't used them in about that long. They worked well, but I needed something quicker.
I should just get rid of them, I'll never use them again.

I started reloading with the Lee in .22-250, but had to move up to a press. I was using a Ruger #1 and I started having extraction issues with the neck sizing only. The #1 does not have a really strong extraction system. The thing I remember most about the Lee is that it was sloooooow. Our AR 15s would go hungry if we still used the Lee Loader.

I started with a 30/06 in the late '60s. Still have 3 kits. Great concept ! ;-)

I started with the 30-06 in 1965 and soon moved up to a press when the wife frowned on me hammering on the kitchen table.
