Lee Loader 12 Gauge - remember these??


Recommended Posts

I've used the rifle version of these to make ammo and they're very good. Currently looking for a .410 version to load for my Hushpower.

 

It's not a tool you'd want to make thousands of rounds on but at the same time look how much space it takes up - far better than a huge press of you're only making a few

If you have the capability to throw me together some drawings to work to I have a lathe - I'd give it a go and if it works I could make you one too.

 

Hi, you do!!!

 

I found a web site that gave 20g chamber dims (I was surprised about the taper) but turned it short so a steep taper would turn the petals in. A hollowed rod then bears down on the half closed petals to close them. A wide portion for the hand to bare on is good here. The closed cartridge needs to enter the chamber enough to compress any swollen metal heads.

I use a soft mallet to tap the unit that has no rim rebate to minimalise any swollen rims.

A simple decapping rod is easy to fab.

 

I will go take some snaps.
