    The Lee Loader is only limited for full length resizing. Buy a set of scales and you've got a damn cheap reloading option. You may want a different option if you're a target shooter, but I'm not. It only costs you extra "because you shoot more" if you actually shoot more! I'm not a target shooter, so my use won't go up at all. I'm getting back into reloading after a 30-ish year hiatus because it's fun to shoot something with ammo you've loaded yourself.

    Plus; with ammo being so short I will have a continuous supply. Not being a hoarder, just have enough powder, projectiles etc to see me right for hunting for quite some time. I recently had to get 303 ammo from Whanganui because there was none in Taranaki. I would've had to go through the pain in the arse mail order palaver if I hadn't been going down there anyway.

    I haven't been able to get Buffalo 223 ammo since well before Xmas. However I now have a few boxes of 55 Game King projectiles that will see me right. So it's all horses for courses, everyone has a different situation. Cheers!
