    Greetings Phil, Mickey Duck and All, Don't disagree with you at all. The Lee Loader can turn out excellent ammunition given care. It is how I load my .303 rifles. My loads are light so will likely...

    Greetings Remmodel7, Don't get discouraged by all the complexity and sometimes contradictory advice you are getting. Handloading is only as complex as you make it. The flashy kit that some...
