BTW, when younger and not fighting cancer, I reloaded for 40 different calibers.
I did do experience with steel & alum. cases, but it was just an experienment.
At 73 I just screw around with such as this, no time left.

Early to bed...
Nothing wrong with a Lee Loader, however I do use a Lee Primer for the priming step.
One note DO NOT use a steel hammer, use brass or even better yet hard nylon. Frankly I use a old ash hammer handle. Works for me.
Your opinion, such as it is, but really not my problem.
Ever worked as a RO at a National Match?
