In Defense Of.....

Many years ago (more than I wish to admit) I started reloading shot shells using a Classic Lee Loader, which at the time cost less than 10 bucks. The procedure was all manual, and I remember after inserting the wads (back then you used several) I compressed the powder and wads on a bathroom scale. It wasn't very scientific - even a caveman could do it - but the results were just fine.

I doubt that Lee still makes the Classic Loader for shot shells (they do for rifles and handguns) as the Load-All 2 is so reasonably priced. Besides, using the Classic Loader was a very slow process and was only good for very low volume shooters, not often found with shotgunners.

I still like and use Lee products. If for no other reason, I like the fact that Lee's low prices help newbees get involved in reloading. And, their prices help keep the other guys honest.

The Load-All 2 comes with a lifetime warranty, and it is so inexpensive that you could throw it away after a couple of years and still be way ahead of the game. And, it will make shot shells like the rest of them.

But, no matter what you decide, have fun. That's what its all about.
