Lee Loader

I think I 'm calling this project done and workin well.

I added a primer pocket cleaner, take the case from the bin, spin it on the cleaner, prime it. This is the support leg to remove the flex from the table. I cut slots in the base of the bin to slide onto 2 screws to hold it while in use.

Nice setup, really nice! I don't clean primer pockets, because I deprime before I wet tumble, but this also seems to be a very nice and relaxing way of working you're doing there.

Nice setup for quality and productive time watching tv. Thanks for sharing.

Today I started priming some 380 auto brass. It is probably the first time I primed anything since last November when trouble started with my leg. Also this is the first 380 brass I have primed with this setup. The 380 brass I have been shooting was loaded last year and hand primed. It is nice to be back to shooting and loading ammo.

By the way I decapped some more 380 this morning. I use a loadmaster setup similar to the one in this movie. I started the stopwatch and started pulling the lever at a comfortable speed that didn't seem like work. In an even 5 minutes I had decapped 109 cases. Hope the movie works. It was made by a guy that goes by the handle "carload".

Other than operating it, nothing is said about the decapping die. What is it?

On My decapping turret I have in station 2 a Lee universal expanding die to remove some dents in the case mouth. Stations 3 and 4 have Lee universal decapping dies. I have 2 decapping dies just incase I get in a hurry and short stroke the press the second die will get the primer. Also if the primer sticks to the decapping pin on the first decapping die and gets pulled back into the primer pocket the second one will knock it out.

I use this setup to decap all the calibers I reload, 380 to 30-06. The expanding die has to be adjusted for the different calibers.
