Lee Load-All shotshell reloader
Has anyone heard anything good or bad about the Lee Load-All shotshell reloader, or Lee products in general? Their stuff is a lot cheaper than other brands, but I'm wondering ifit'sany good. If you go by the ol' "you get what you pay for" adage, then I would guess it's not that great, but then I don't want to judge a book by its cover either

RE: Lee Load-All shotshell reloader
Ive had a few shotshell loaders My first was a lee load all since i wasnt sure howfar I was gonna go with reloading and didnt want to tie tomuch money up in it. I ended up loading on it for 8 years before I got a MEC grabber which I ended up selling after a year just got sick of it, crap kept breaking on it and the brass resizer kept jamming with grit and was real PITA to clear our when shot pellet would get down in it. So I went back to my trusty lee load all and loaded with it for another 3 or so years before I found a hornady 366 on a super deal I couldnt pass up, it is an older one but in superb shape I almost feel like I stole it at $60. so now days I use the 366 for my high volume trap loads and still use the load all for my specialty loads like heavy field and turkey loads. that 35 dollar load all payed for itself 100 times over Ive loaded tons of shells on it. Ive kept every primer from every shell Ive done on it I suppose I could count them all to tell ya howmany loads ive done on it but it would take me along time to count them but to give you an idea I have one full 2 liter bottle and another that is about 3/4 of the way full of spent 209 primers. and the little plastic machine is in the same perfect working order as the day I got just its a little dirty now.

RE: Lee Load-All shotshell reloader
The Lee is great for getting started. I cant say that I agree about the negative comments on the Mec though. Mec isn't the best thing on the market but it is light years ahead of the Lee. Get theLee to get started likementioned above and when it's time to upgrade look around and ask lots of questions. Mec makes quaility equipment but it takes a little time to get it set up properly.
