This is a great tool for anyone who does not use a lot of different powders. Could be a little inconvenient for anyone who wants to change powders frequently, but you could also buy 2 or 3 of these for the price of a MEC! Caveat: I'm only loading buckshot so I haven't used it it to drop the shot charge. Don't see why it wouldn't perform well for shot charge, just haven't tried it Advantage besides price is that it's so light weight that I didn't permanently mount it to the bench. Mounted it on a short section of 2x4 and clamped the 2x4 to the bench. I use this on the same 4 foot bench that has my Hornady LNL and powder scale, and I have the room I need to get the job done easily. Then when I want to load brass on the LNL, I just unclamp the Lee. Also makes it easier to change bushings without spilling powder; just unclamp and lay it flat (making sure the top to the powder hopper is secured).

I purchased this Lee Load All to learn how to reload shotgun shells. The machine works great and with a little bit of rhythm, you can start cranking out some nicely crimped 12GA rounds. Set up is pretty easy. Did not take long to mount to my bench. Not a lot of torque when using the device, so it does not have to be on a super strong platform. Here are a few thing to note when getting going. 1. Depending on your powder, make sure to get a digital scale. The bushings, the data from the load books, do not always match. Mine have been consistently way under grain weight. For the time being, I am weighing every 5 rounds for consistency. I bought this scale: Frankford Arsenal Reloading Scale . Inexpensive and accurate!! 2. Make sure your hulls, wads,primers, and powder match. (the data book has good information to match things up) (learned the hard way) 3. Make sure the crimps (folds) are facing you when you do the pre-crimp and the final crimp. They will work perfect. 4. Spend some time watching You Tube videos. Great information out there!! 5 Be safe, and enjoy! I had to contact Lee\s customer service to figure out what I was doing wrong at first. Very quick reply from them and they helped me figure out the issue. Great service. I highly recommend this device! Is also very cheap to swap over to 20GA and others. Happy Reloading

There a lot if videos on youtube using this press. It seems to one of the simplest. The only thing you need to compliment it is get Lyman Shotshell Reloading Handbook 5th Edition. It will cover all the aspects not mentioned that you need to know. The good it’s a good sturdy press easy to move stage to stage. I like it because I use a progressive press for bullets but for shotshell wanted single stage, but its setup like a progressive because all the stages are right their you just manually move down the line. It’s very simple to use and you always know were your at as you move the cartridge down the line. The BAD - if you don’t want to mount it permanently you will want to mount it on a board. If you also dont want it right up on the edge you need to create a base to elevate it for the handle can come all the way down. This will also allow you to move it back so the board create leverage so you can just clamp it in the front. - the optional primer dispenser has been discontinued. Would be nice if someone would design a one that could be printed on a 3D printer. - some of the directions are not very clear. So far all i have done is move cartridges through the first two stages to deprime. The ring is to reset the brass and it gets popped of on the depriming stage. - since I still need shot and wads have not fully utilized the unit yet and still bit unclear on setting up the measuring rings. - the press comes with some recipes would recommend you follow the Lyman shotshell reloading handbook 5th Ed. - it is very extensive. If your reloading you want to see if you can use powder you have already. Then look for recipes that match what you have and order the missing components you need. Reloading can be just as fun as shooting. As always reload when rested and no distractions.

For under $80 this reloader absolutely does the job. It is easy to use easy to set up and does what it’s supposed to do. Reloads function perfectly. It does a very nice job with the crimp. Couldn’t ask for a more inexpensive and simple solution for reloading shotgun shells. And there’s plenty of YouTube videos showing how to use it.

You can’t beat this simple and easy 12ga shell reloader. If you’re new to reloading shotgun shells you can’t go wrong with this great Lee product. My only recommendation is you buy the “Lyman Shotshell Reloading Handbook”. It has all the data and misc info you will need including lookup & pictures of all brands of shells. Also use a separate powder measure for better accuracy. I only use the slide for the actual lead shot pellets and measure the powder with my “Lee Perfect Powder Measure” I got with my bullet reloading equipment. You will also need a small digital scale, around $25-30 to get accurate weights to set up your Powder Measurer - Have fun, it’s easy !

Once it is set up it works great! If you are changing from 12Ga to 20Ga it is a little bit of a PITA!

Does everything a more expensive press can do, just with a little more time and elbow grease. It’s compact and sturdy despite its flimsy appearance. After getting the hang of it, I can reload about 70-80 once fired hulls in about an hour without resizing (not needed for my gun). I’ve done about 450 since I got it and noticed that it gets a bit messy after making a box or two. There’s some fine powder all around the press on my bench. The slide lever gets hung up occasionally and needs a little force sometimes to slide back and forth but it still works. One other downside is that once the hoppers (either powder or shot) fill level falls below a 1/4, I start to get light loads. Best to keep them at the half way point for best results. To empty them, unfortunately you have to remove the whole machine from the table and literally dump it’s contents. All that said, it’s still actually a good value. Especially if you’re like me, you only make one type of load for say trap or skeet and don’t have to constantly retool it.
