Lee Precision 38 SPL Loader

This was my first reloading device. It is perfect to use when learning the basics of reloading. I also have fun seeing people's reactions when I tell them I make my handloads with a hammer. Just follow the directions, wear your safety glasses, and you'll be driving your wife nuts in the next room in no time.

Quick shipping all is good . Comes with clear instructions ans chart .came with everything to reload 38spl .other that powder primers n lead .. only thing you need is a rubber mallet

For low volume reloading these Lee Loaders are still a good option. It is also a good choice for someone new to reloading to learn how the process works. I bought this one to have a portable reloading system for trying new loads. Everything you need will fit in an ammo box. The only challenge is that using the powder dipper requires that you find a powder that is on the schedule. With today's limited supply of powder it isn't always easy to find a powder that works with the bullets that you can get, so you really need access to a scale and may have to modify the dipper to give you the correct charge. Once you work through that you are good to go. These Lee Loaders are also a good option if you are loading low quantities of rifle cartridges. When I shoot my 45-70 I do the reloading with this system, since I am only loading 40-60 rounds or so at a time.

I bought my first Lee Loader nearly 30 years ago, and loaded a lot of ammunition with it before moving on to a progressive type loader. Recently I got back into shooting, and my first purchase was a new Lee Loader to get started reloading again. Reloading by hand with a Lee Loader is slow, compared to a progressive press, but it's safe. It's hard to make a mistake when you're loading each round individually. Each loader comes with a measure and a list of recommended loads, and if you stick to those, it's just about impossible to assemble an out of spec load. All the tools you need are in this small box; all you need to add is powder, primers, cases and bullets.The Lee Loaders may not be good for production reloading, but they're great for low volume precision loading (i.e., target and benchrest shooting) and, with the addition of a scale or a set of measures, working up small numbers of custom loads. Even if you have a full progressive press setup, it's useful to have a Lee Loader around to be able to do a few non-standard loads without resetting your powder measure, seating dies and so forth. If you end up doing a lot of loading with a Lee, I'd suggest a hand primer and some case lube, but they're not really necessary. You can do it all with this inexpensive kit.

This kit is EXPENSIVE, but you can make bullets abit slowly. Works as intended and at a lot less than those big expensive machines. Fun to use if you have the cartridges, powder, and bullets.

If you want to try reloading, especially 38 special or 357, then I would recommend this. I have a press that is faster but takes a lifetime to set up and get everything dialed in. If i want to load 1000 rounds I will use the press but if I want to try new loads...THIS IS THE WAY TO GO.Recommend a digital scale though if you decide to use a recipe not listed in the kit. Better to spend some money on a digital scale than to blow your gun up (and maybe you)!

I haven't used this kit yet, but I have the same kits for 45-70 Gov. and .357 Mag. I like the fact that loading one round at a time makes quality control very simple. Yes, it is slower that a press, but I can take the kit with me on an extended trip and not have to carry a bunch of ammo. I can carry a few extra bullets, primers, and some powder, reuse my empty cases and every thing else is in the kit. I measure frequently to make sure bullet lengths are correct and consistent. I'll be using this kit to teach my younger brother the process of reloading,

Nice little set with everything you need to reload. Sure it may be slow compared to a mechanical reloader, but it sure beats the price! Recommended!
