Lee Get Your feet Wet Kit

[airedale]

Lee has come out with a low priced kit that will load quality ammo for a very reasonable price of $100, it contains all that is needed to load a specific cartridge. Something to think about if you are on the fence about reloading and think you may want to give it a try.

I didn't care for this hand reloader . I bought the Lee Single stage press to go with my Lyman 4 stage press . the Lee single stage has done a lot of work for me .

Before getting your feet wet in reloading , get a good book ( Lyman , etc ) and read it a couple times . Safety First ! 

Experiment with loads to find out what your rifle likes .

So True. I have a friend that loads my 300Wby Mag shells for me and he makes them “Hot”   To sit there and watch him and listen what a little bit to much of this or that could do was enough for me not to get to interested in it

I look at this little press a couple of different ways. It allows someone who wants to give reloading a try the ability to produce quality ammo at a low price. To load a few rounds for hunting each year it will do the job and be a good hedge against shortages especially for those that have arms chambered for old and obsolete cartridges. I would not recommend it for someone that wants to load in quantity and does a lot of shooting.

This type of loader can also be used right at the range when building and testing loads. Lyman made a small plier's style hand press for many years that was used in that fashion.

I just got a flier in the mail from a vendor that sells reloading equipment, like everything else these days the prices are getting pretty high.

No experience with a hand loader but I don't imagine it's easy to use. For a first timer (like myself not that long ago) I struggled enough with a bench mounted loader I don't know if I would have survived a hand loader. 

Just thinking out loud.

The hand reloader would probably require some hand strength . I know that my hand primer requires quite a bit of hand strength to seat the primers .
