So i was at my dads house the other day knocking back a few cold ones and he gets this look and says he has something for me. He comes back with a lee classic loader for 30-06 lol. As a kid my local gunshop sold these used for like 3 or 5 bucks apeice and i had all kinds... they fascinated me, but i never actually used one.
This one came complete with susan, michael and mikes last game of what im guessing is dominoes. So its raining and im bored and have a twice fired case. So i load up a round.... and it was pretty fun, i noticed some big differences over this style and the press. First, you are actually hammering the case in the die to get it stuck, then tapping it out. Second, there is no chance of ripping the rim off, or shearing it. I set the height for seating using a made bullet and running it down. Im pretty pleased with the results. Running 48 grains of imr 3031 and 168 grain A max. But im gonna fire 20 new cases and work up a load using this vs a load using the rcbs press and see if the results compare. What got me most was it was something ive done uncountable times and it was brand new...
