I have loaded shotgun shells many years ago and used a Lee reloader for them and it worked OK. I plan to relaod 44 mag shell for hunting. Since I will be loading for hunting and I probably will not be reloading large quantities of shells. I found a couple of Lee 1000's ranging from $75 tp $120 plus another $40 for a powder measurer. I would like to get some comments back about this reloader. Is there is a better reloader for the money. Alternatives.
