Fieldsports Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I bought a Lee Loadall the other day for next to nothing.Fixed it up and I got it working fine. The missing part is the re-size ring that resizes the hull when you remove the dead primer._______________So Today I just happened to bump into a old shooter that lives local and he mentioned that he had packed in a few your ago,but he still had his reloading stuff and I could have it as he was about to throw it out.I was over the moon !So I gave him a knock at his door before and he produced yet another lee loader the same as the one I have, a bit worse for wearbut I will give it a revamp and repair in the next day or so when I have time.Guess whats missing ? Yes its the resize ring ....LOLThe bit I need.He also gave me a 2l pop bottle full of shot which I think it is 6 shot. Do not know the weight but its heavy as hell.Shame he had no powder, wads or primers.But it is a start I suppose.I give him a tenner for a pint although he wanted nothing.I am really not having much luck with a hull resizer am I. Well back to the drawing board to try and get the rest of the stuff I need to begin playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet1747 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 wot size you after mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fieldsports Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) wot size you after mate A 12g hull resizer. I have phoned Kranks but they do not have parts in until 20th April and the postage for a £5 part is scandalous I also rang Midway uk and there postage is also scandalous. I know I am been a tight *** but lets face it. I am never going to load normal 5 or 6 shot 30g to 32g loads cheaper than buying them ready made. I am looking to have a "something to do toy" when its pittling down outside I can sit and make my own .

johnphilip Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Wait till you have to pay £30 postage for some powder. And about £9 postage for some primers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fieldsports Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Wait till you have to pay £30 postage for some powder. And about £9 postage for some primers. LOL I won't ( Unless I need some 3 inch stuff and it works out much much cheaper than buying them ready done. I only want to do this for to humor myself. ( I know its sad ) I do not want to through loads of money into it that I can not afford when I can buy ready made carts cheaper.

pestcontrol1 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 where abouts in the north east are you ?? if your loading any 3" or steel loads its cash in your pocket and some good data out there PS when i used my loadall i would get real good crimps when i sat a 1cent euro coin on the top of the crimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not loading 3 inch YET ( I do geese a couple of times a year at the most ) so for the carts I shoot there is no fuss. Honestly it all began when I bought the cheap Lee Loadall and just fancied a go at loading. I use pigeon loads as I do pest control for a living. So apart from 5 / 6 shot its not worth mass loading loads of anything else Its just to see what they turn out like and have a go, like I say its a toy when I am sitting with nothing else to do really. Having said that I do not want to put loads of money into it as firstly I can not afford it and to really get into loading normal size 5 /6 shot it costs more than pre manufactured carts that work perfectly well. I have to keep my costs realistic as to be honest I do not earn that much ! Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pestcontrol1 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I do pest control aswell and thats what started me loading my own i have some good data for cheap cartaridges and they will out perform expencive shop bought ones and even if you use 25 3" steel a year its still worth making them. I had a stonking day with some 24g #5s on the pigeons and even used them roost shooting and crows bashing what powder do you have ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a stonking day with some 24g #5s on the pigeons and even used them roost shooting and crows bashing what powder do you have ? I don't have powder mate. All I have acquired is 2 lee loaders and a 2L bottle of shot that I think is 6 shot. I know nothing about reloading or the materials to use. This all began a few days ago when I seen a 12g loading machine on ebay and I won it for next to nowt. By doing a few phone calls I know its not cheaper loading 5 or 6's myself. That's about my knowledge in this field....LOL If I thought it was a money saving expedition I would get into it on a larger scale. I have looked at some load data on the web and it baffles me...... Different primers, wads, powders. Its all baffling to me at this time. Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonicdmb Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) You could see if your local gun shop is getting an order from Kranks you save on postage then. Edited March 29, 2014 by sonicdmb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fieldsports Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Rang the local shops mate.They were very off putting .....more or less telling me !No we do not supply it. No market for this anymore as its cheaper to buy ready made stuff.I never rang them all as there is ONE shop I can not stand and would rather dig my knee cap out with a rusty spoon then ask them for anything.But we cant like everyone...LOL.You know what has my head totally knackered ...Reclaimed shot from clay grounds, How do they do that ?Now there is a question worth answering in depth if you know...LOLCheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
