Shot-shell loaders from Lee.

I am with the folks that say add up the costs before you start buying equipment.

I have a few 366's, MEC's and LMC shotshells presses but unless I am loading something "special" there is not a lot of savings.

There used to be more insentive when "bargain" price factory shells used a plug of cardboard for a wad, but these days even the cheap stuff is pretty decent.

Regarding handloading, everyone has his threshold of screwititaintworthit. My father bought one, a d I think that it would be fair to say that he used it for far less than a thousand rounds.


I read an article once by a guy who was looking for spreader loads. He bought sheets of lead, then used a paper cutter to slice it into strips and then cubes. There are very few people around who would actually do this, as it had to be unbelievably time consuming.
