Lee Loader

Hi everyone!
I landed here by way of the Rossi Rifleman forum as I expect did a number of others. Finding the link there was a lucky break as, despite spending quite a lot of time browsing for info and videos about Lee Loaders, I hadn't seen this forum in my travels.

I recently bought a Rossi M92 in .38/.357 and with it a good selection of makings and a set of Lee dies. It meant that a loading press was the next thing I would need and after researching online I came to the conclusion that a Lee Classic turret press was the mutt's nuts.

I'll be putting together a suite of dies to accommodate my other rifle calibres, .223, and .308, and working up some loads for all of them. Here is clearly a good place to be in order to benefit from your experience and input.

I was born and grew up in the suburbs of London. No, the one in England! You never saw ANYONE with a firearm as I was growing up, not even the police, so it took me a long time to get round to discovering the pleasure of shooting a rifle other than an airgun. I'm making up for that now and enjoying every opportunity I get to visit my local ranges.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Howdy, welcome aboard! I need to get a Rossi 92 in 357 Magnum. It's been on my "want list" for way too long.

Well said!

Thanks RK and Cyrus. I had the good fortune to travel in your respective states back in 2012, first from NY city out to visit a friend in Kutztown near Reading and back over to upstate NY via Honesdale and then, en route to Grand Rapids I drove along Interstate 90 across the width of Ohio. You live in a amazing and beautiful country and I will be back.

Welcome

I haven't been to the U.K. but my parents have. I didn't grow up a shooter but did grow up in middle class suburbs to COUNTRY parents so guns never seemed weird. It's good to get others' prospective.

Classic Turret was my first of three presses.

Welcome to the red side of things

Herzlich willkommen from Germany, and congratulations for your vote on the EU-leave. Maybe that'll spare you from the recent EU gun grabber initiative if you hurry to file the §50.

Thanks AK. Und danke Fyodor. Our vote to leave the EU has energised politics here, which can only be a good thing. Maybe Frau Merkel will have something to think about next year. . And, in the immortal words of Forrest Gump, that's all I have to say about that as I don't wish to tread on anyone's toes here.

I love that movie and perfect use for that phrase.

Welcome aboard from the State of Jefferson, the red part of California.
