Where to find old, odd caliber loaders?

[huntnfish08]

Just getting into the Lee loader but I've been bitten by the bug. Where's a good place to find odd caliber loaders?
No luck on ebay, even in the sold search.

First confirm what you want was ever made...

Agree with what GG had to offer. Take a look at this topic: https://www.lee-loader.com/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=26, if they weren't offered in this period, they were not produced. There is a chance that someone might have special ordered an oddball during the period that they did that work, but the odds of finding one down the line are slim.

22k Hornet and 25/35 win.
Both were produced but no luck finding them.

I can say with assurance the 25-35 was made, at least by the Lee Custom Co. which became Mequon. I had one of the latter that I bought through Dixie Gun Works back in the Nineties. I’ve never encountered a set in 22 K Hornet though.

Both are on the old list within this forum. They must just be hard to come by.

Just because they catalogued a certain caliber doesn’t mean they made a lot of them. I’m going to guess that some of the less popular calibers were made in runs of a couple of dozen, put on the shelf and not rerun until and unless those all sold. Probably some of the now hard to find calibers only had one or two such runs. Just speculation, but it would explain why some calibers are so hard to find.
