The first time so far seems charming.....
I've been reloading at least as long as I've been shooting. Muzzle loaders, pistols, rifles, from paper cartridge sharps to scoped up military style long guns, but never shotguns! I've had the same Lee Turret press for years and it seemed logical to start out with the Lee Loader....so far this simple little press, like all the Lee equipment I've used over the years, does everything the beginner shot shell reloader needs to safely explore his new hobby! RCBS, MEC, Dillon, etc., all make great stuff to be sure, but the user of the little Lee press need not worry about whether his efforts aren't as safe as others presses that are more expensive.....
