Lee Loader

Hello, my name is Horseman and I'm an addict. I'm in dire need of sane direction from anyone of you that have been able to "kick" this habit. Just the other day, on this very forum, I was ruminating on my possible intention of discontinuing reloading and casting and selling the last of my reloading tools that I have been accumulating for the past 3 decades. I also mentioned the fact that I now only had one Lee press, that being the Lee Classic Cast SS and that I had sold the last two Loadmaster presses I had. (although I do have a couple other brands ) I was feeling pretty proud of my self upon making this decision. Then temptation reared it's ugly head once again. I saw a new Load Master press setup for 45acp (I don't even OWN a 45acp) for $200.00 shipped. I told myself I didn't need it, just gotten rid of two of them because I wasn't using them and they were just taking up space. I was strong in my resolve, determined to stick to my original plan. I think the press will be here next week sometime. I'm a junkie and I need help....

I love reloading. I am constantly talking myself out of buying another press. I just started casting recently and love that more than I should too. I am continually finding ways to talk myself out of making ingots, casting bullets or scrounging range scrap. Then I just cave in and do it. So, I am not someone who can help you resolve your issues. I am an enabler. I love reloading and casting.

Dude, I saw a 45 Auto Load-Master on Lee's site for that price but someone bought it before I came back to it! I have four of them, including a 45 Auto! Just thought the price crazy good. Yeah, I'm a nut.

Just so you'll not hold anything against me I bought this one on e-bay. It said make offer so I did thinking that with free shipping it wouldn't go through. oops......

Some reloading tools just look so desperate on their little shelves... They just needed a new loving home.

Never one to hold a grudge! Free shipping too, oh my!

The Lee 90945 is only $238 on Amazon. I guess $200 is still 16% off. I think I'm buying that Lyman prep station thingie after all. Today is my anniversary and Father's Day is coming up. :-)

Congratulations, how long you been married?

You can use the Lee Case Gauges on the Prep Center with the Lee 90468 threaded cutter. They might have changed it by now, but when I bought mine there was no way to secure the threaded stock in the cutter. It would spin off. I just put a little JB Weld on the threads and let it set.



Slowly, I've replaced the primer pocket beveling and uniforming tools with the RCBS cutters, just posted a bit about that but I really like the Prep Center.

I'm pretty sure the only way to beat this habit involves bereavement leave for the immediate family .
