The fellow I bought it from had been using it to load specific ammo for trapshooting and was being used until recently. He had owned the press since new and taken excellent care of it. I've been through it completely, and I can see use, but no wear, and no abuse.AlaskanGuy wrote:wow.. you got it and its sorta setup???
It was supposed to be just a picture, but I screwed it down to the workbench and cycled a spent hull through it.AlaskanGuy wrote:you tried giving it a turn??? does it turn?
A marvel of engineering!AlaskanGuy wrote:come now... tells us what you saw???
With eight things going on with every single stroke, it is incredible to observe this machine in motion. What is cool is watching the powder and shot delivery operate. Of course, they operate independently of each other, but they don't function without a hull in the shellholder. The presence of a hull does not actuatie the drop like metallic cartridges usingthe Auto Drum, but rather the presence of a shell's base in the shellholder does.GasGuzzler wrote:The Load-Fast is so very awesome a sight to see.
Lee's inflation flighting has always amazed me. In 1992, a pistol Load-Master MSRP was $320. Following the US Inflation calculator, that price should now be $584. Instead, the pistol Load-Master MSRP is now $399! So, yes, I think they could deliver a great progressive shotgun reloader and why not a Classic Load-Fast!horseman wrote:That's a good picture RD. Not sure why Lee didn't continue with the Load Fast development and "toughened" it up a bit. Doesn't seem like it would have taken a lot. Most folks who use progressive shot shell loaders just crank out thousands of pretty much one load for competitive type shooting and the Load Fast is a bit light for that IMO. It has some really good features and the ones I had did make a good finished round. (I did have a problem with the ejection "port" on both the 12's I had) I would like to see Lee come back with a Lee CLASSIC Load Fast for a couple hundred bucks. Now that would set some others on their ear I'll bet.
I will check Gun Streamer out. It will be a bit. I need to get several rifles up and running for hunting season and finish up on my slug stuff.AlaskanGuy wrote:well rd, your gunna have to do a simple video on its function.. just take a few rounds all the way through the process so we can all have a good look??? it doesnt have to be put out for he whole world... just leave a link here... i been using Gun streamer for my gun related video stuff, and it is optional to have a video listed...
