The 7.62 x 39 Pacesetter die set includes an expander suitable for both .308 inch and .311 inch bullets.Rifles chambered for the 7.62 x 54R can also be found with either bore diameter. We include only the .308 inch decapper/expander with this die set because it can be used with both diameter bullets. If you have a rifle with the large bore diameter, you can order the decapper/expander from the .303 British die set, part #SE2358, $3. 32 H&R Magnum commonly uses .311 but the sizing die will size the case enough to hold .308 bullets. It would be necessary to purchase an additional expander plug and reduce it's size to .308. This can be done using a drill press and emery cloth, or for $10.00 plus the cost of the new expander, we would do it for you.APL1d€ÿÿÿÿLo1 3/8 oz Bushing#ö o- (€í€6„„˜’€€‚ÿ1 3/8 oz Bushing We do not offer a 1-3/8 oz. bushing as standard for the Load All.

This includes the use of bullets not larger than .377 however, our seating die will accommodate bullets to .379.We utilize a 375 Winchester seating die in the 38-55 die set because it allows us to keep production costs lower and in turn, our die prices more reasonable. The use of this seater is acceptable just as using a 38 Special seating die works for the .357 Magnum. The difference is cases between the 375 Winchester and the 38-55 is approximately .060.Our sizing die for the 38-55 is meant to size the case inward enough for customers who want to use .375 bullets which is common in some rifles. If larger bullets than .377 are used, it is probable that you will see a significant case bulge that represents the bottom of the bullet near the top of the case. While the use of larger bullets than .377 is common for the 38-55, we have decided not to open the sizing die up because it would then fail to hold a .375 bullet. Normally, using a softer lead alloy allows a .376 or .377 bullet to fully obturate in a larger bore reducing leading and providing increased accuracy. Another option is to purchase an extra long decapper at a very reasonable cost to replace the one in the sizing die. The result is a decapping pin that protrudes below the bottom of the die. This allows the user to deprime without having to size the entire case to accomplish it. To use the modified die, turn it into the press until the pin goes down to the priming hole in the shell holder when the ram is at the top.Hµ~1ÐG€ÿÿÿÿ~A450 Marlin & 45-70 GovtˆX6A0 .€±€6„„˜’€€‚ÿ450 Marlin with 45-70 Govt Dies45-70 Government dies cannot be used to load 45~A60 Marlin.

This is the text of the warning in full:SPECIAL WARNINGS !!!Concerning the internal dimensions and configurations of centerfire metallic calibers, especially semi-auto pistols. This warning is not aimed at specific weapons, but any weapon with the conditions or dimensions as described below. Accurate Arms did not compile special data for any weapon. Chamber dimensions:It is extremely important to note that due to aftermarket modifications and for certain factory produced semi-auto pistols, some pistols have chamber configurations that do not fully support the chambered cartridge case. This modification is incorporated to aid in the reliable feeding of the round from the magazine. Although this practice is acceptable with some calibers such as the 45 ACP which generate relatively low pressures, this kind of incomplete support can be a real problem with high performance calibers such as the 9mm x 19P, 38 Super, 40 S&W, and 10 MM Auto calibers. Although it might also be acceptable for first fired conditions sPK↠Kuch as factory ammunition or new unused cases, a potential hazardous condition can be created when cases are reloaded for the second or subsequent time. Whenever a deformed case results after firing (eg. a bulged or "pregnant" shape from the base of the main body towards one third to half of the case body), it is a sure sign that the case is not fully supported. Although this bulged part is reformed during resizing, the case strength could be weakened. The problem occurs when this part of the weakened case again lines up with the modified part of the chamber. This will then cause the case to fail and the gasses to be ejected into the internal cavity of the weapon. The loading data published by Accurate Arms was developed in our ballistic laboratory in accordance with SAAMI test methods and equipment and does not exceed Maximum Average Pressure recommended by SAAMI. This information is safe for use in firearms which provide complete support of the case. Failure to fully support the case with cartridges of such intensity may result in bulged cases, ruptured cases, separated case heads or other consequences with may result in destruction / damage to the firearm and / or injury or death to the shooter and / or bystanders. This can happen no matter who's propellant is used.We recommend that if you own a firearm where the chamber does not fully support the chambered round and is producing the above mentioned symptoms, you contact the manufacturer to determine if the case is fully supported, or have a competent gunsmith examine the firearm and determine the amount of support provided the case.If your firearm does not provide complete support for the case, please take extreme care and refrain from reloading cases.FPK(‡1톦ÿÿÿÿ(‡ûˆAckley Improved CasesÓ¦â†ûˆ- (€M€6„„˜’€€‚ÿAckley Improved CasesThe standard Collet die for the parent cartridge should work, provided that the base to neck/shoulder intersection dimension has not changed. Most Ackley Imp. cartridges have less body taper, and a steeper shoulder angle, but the distance from the base of the case to the neck/shoulder intersection is not changed. There is enough clearance in the collet to accommodate the improved cartridge.L(‡G‰1!JÿÿÿÿG‰Active Hulls in Load All IIÕ¤ûˆ1 0€I€6„„˜’€€‚‚ÿActive Hulls in Load All IIActive has produced some plastic compression hulls in which the plastic inside the case surrounding the primer flash hole is formed up and into the case a short distance. It was most likely done to enhance the ability of the primer to ignite more intensely in the center of the powder charge. This condition has caused a problem with the priming station of the Load All II in that the plastic extrusion is pressed into the hole of the primer tube on the press carrier during the priming process. The result is a case that is very difficult to remove from the primer tube.The solution for this problem is to chamfer the hole of the primer tube on the press. The new rebated area prevents the tube from lodging onto the plastic extrusion in the case. Continue to increase the chamfer size in the hole of the tube until such time as priming can occur without sticking. Try not to "overdo" it.PG‰l1¦€ÿÿÿÿl.ÀAlternate Gauges in Load All II¶T.Àb ’€©€6„„˜’€€È EF("www.mecreloaders.com",`',1)€‰€‚ÿAlternate Gauges in Load All IIWe believe that the Lee Load All II is the best value in single stage shot shell loading offered today.

The Anniversary kit includes shellholders for the priming tool, but not for the press. If you order Lee dies, the shellholder for the press will be included (except for the RGB series which are dies only). If you order dies from our competition, or if you already have dies for the cartridge you wish to reload, make sure you also order the shellholder to fit the press. For rifle calibers, one should also add the appropriate case length gauge/shell holder to go with the case trimming tools included in the kit. Pistol cases seldom need to be trimmed as they generally wear out before actually needing it. We do make them however for those people who want the peace of mind. Case length gauge/shell holders can be found on the "case conditioning tools" page in our catalog and web site at www.leeprecision.com. : zÀôÄ1€p…ÿÿÿÿôÄ»ÆAustraliaÇ…ºÄ»ÆB R€ €6„„˜’€€‚ÿAustraliaHerron Security & Sport Pty.

It's possible that this screw is too tight, try loosening it and determine if that was the cause before proceeding to other possibilities.If the suggestion above does not work, try loosening the hopper screws slightly to provide more clearance between the disk and the hopper. Another possible solution is to file the top of the body where it meets the hopper to reduce the clearance between the hopper and disk. We suggest leaving the disk in the body and filing the top of the body until the file contacts the disk. You are then assured that the body uprights are exactly the same height as the disk Make sure that you have the new style "F" shaped lever. It adds a greater amount of spring tension to the lever. If you have the old style "L" shaped lever, please return it and we will replaced it at no charge. You may be interested in the Positive Pull Back Lever and Chain, part #90479, cost $2.98. This will help prevent squib loads, as it gives the operator tactile indication if the disk sticks, because the lever will be slig8Ë%óÊhtly harder to raise.S"8Ëx1ëˆiÿÿÿÿxAuto Disk & Perfect Powder Measure˜i%/ ,€Ó€6„„˜’€€‚ÿAuto Disk & Perfect Powder MeasureThe Auto Disk powder measure is primarily designed for reloading pistol cartridges, but it can also be used for reloading rifle with the addition of the Double Disk kit and Rifle charging die. The Perfect powder measure is at its best when reloading rifle cases, but it will also work for pistol. Many prefer the Auto Disk for most reloading, unless reloading a small quantity of rifle cartridges, for which I want to try a variety of charges. The Perfect powder measure is easier to change the quantity of powder to be thrown, the Auto Disk is better for mass production.Mx]1Ó¾ÿÿÿÿ]ãAuto Disk and Rifle Charging†Uã1 0€«€6„„˜’€€‚‚ÿAuto Disk and Rifle ChargingThe Auto Disk and Pro Auto Disk powder measures are primarily designed to charge handgun cases. This is due to the capacity that these measures drop. Even the largest cavity is not enough to charge rifle cases larger than .223 sized. With the double disk kit, you should be able to charge .308 sized cases.We do offer the Rifle Charging Die which allows the measures to be used for charging rifle cases and it works in the same manner as the Powder Through Expander dies from our handgun die sets. The primary difference is that this die does not expand the case mouth.To properly charge rifle cases, we highly recommend the use of our Universal Charging Die which adapts to the Perfect Powder Measure as opposed to the Auto Disk measures. This measure has the capacity to charge very large rifle cases in a single throw. One should remember however, that it is necessary to wait briefly when the case engages the measure so that larger amounts of powder have ample time to drop into the case. This option is only viable if you are using a fully progressive press.K].1±iï ÿÿÿÿ.”Auto Disk Chain Attachmentf1ã”5 8€c€6„„˜’€€‚‚ÿAuto Disk Chain AttachmentWe recommend the use of the chain in conjunction with the Auto Disk but this option is only applicable on progressive presses. Using the chain as a way to reset the measure almost eliminates the chance of a double charge because the carrier of the press has to get to the bottom before the chain resets the measure. At the bottom of the stroke, the index system moves the case to the next station so it's chance of coming back up for another charge is almost impossible.While the directions for the measure indicate the parts of a return spring and "F" lever, they are not included when the measure comes as part of a progressive press kit as they are not applicable. The return spring and "F" lever are needed only when using the measure in conjunction with the Turret press.Loop the chain through both holes in the Auto Disk lever (pass the end through the hole closest to the measure, then pull the remainder of the chain through the hole close to the end of the lever so most of the chain hangs down). On Pro-1000's made before '93, you will need to use the coupling included with the chain (the small brass fitting). Attach the coupling under the case retainer spring at the bullet seating station. On Pro-1000's made after '93 there is an extra hole cast into the shell plate carrier between the power charging station and the bullet seating station. The chain should be taught with the carrier in the down position. Using the small spring as a buffer on the bottom of the carrier and the bell housing on the end of the chain, raise the carrier so that you can pull one bead more through the powder measure lever. This way, you can be assured that the chain has the proper tension. If the buffer spring is not used in the manner described, chances are great that the chain would break.F.Ú1Ì ¾€ÿÿÿÿÚÔEAuto Disk Consistencyî»”ÔE3 4€w €6„„˜’€ÚÔE”€‚ÿAuto Disk ConsistencyMake sure that when measuring charges thrown by the Auto Disk measure, that it is done out of the normal loading sequence. It is important that the measure work consistently in the amount of force used to move the disk to the drop hole and return. This is accomplished through consistent press lever operation every time. It is very also very important to ensure that the Auto Disk measure is seated securely into the Powder Through Expanding Die which must also be properly adjusted. This information can be found on this FAQ under "Dies and Die Questions" and then "Powder Through Expander Adjustment". If you are using a chain return system, it must be adjusted properly. This ensures that the disk moves the same amount each and every time the lever is operated. Proper adjustment of the bead chain can be found on this FAQ under "Powder Handling" and "Auto Disk Chain Attachment".You may want to "condition" the measure by either using powdered graphite on the disks or running the equivalent of a pound of powder through the measure. If you find that inconsistencies still exist, you may want to wash the disks in warm soapy water, and let air dry without rinsing. The soap film should help eliminate any static that may have been present.Lastly some powders do not meter well, Unique powder is one example that meters with "casual uniformity". You may find the same symptom with small flake powder in small quantities.BÚF1Íï \‚ÿÿÿÿF¡HAuto Disk Leaking‹\ÔE¡H/ ,€¹€6„„˜’€€‚ÿAuto Disk LeakingOne fix is to reduce the amount of clearance between the hopper and the disk by carefully sanding down the risers that the hopper is mounted to. Place a disk between the risers with a piece of scotch tape on top, and use a file or sandpaper attached to a flat surface, and file/sand until contact is made with the scotch tape.Another is to purchase the update kit (catalog #90377) which includes a hopper with a soft plastic wiper in the base, which is in light contact with the disk when the hopper is attached. This strikes off the disk as it slides under to drop the charge.IFêH1¦€ˆ‡ÿÿÿÿêHGNAuto Disk Return Systems],¡HGN1 0€Y €6„„˜’€€‚‚ÿAuto Disk Return SystemsThe Auto Disk Pro Auto Disc powder measures are meant to work with any Powder Through Expanding die that Lee Produces. The system has two ways in which the measure is reset after dropping a powder charge. It depends upon what type of press you purchased as to what return system came in your kit.If you received your measure as part of a progressive loading kit, you would have received a bead chain that fastens between the lever on the measure and a hole on the carrier. The chain system is preferred when loading progressively as the chance of a double charge is nearly eliminated. As the case actuates the measure to drop the powder charge, it is not reset until the carrier returns to the bottom of the press. As this is done, the case has already moved to the next station.If you received your measure as part of a Turret Press kit, you would have received a different style "F" lever that contains a return spring. This spring fastens to the front of the body of the measure and the notch on the back side of the return lever. Since the design of the Turret Press moves the turret instead of a shell plate, the bead chain return system would not work. The return spring resets the measure just as soon as the freshly charged case comes out of the powder through expander die.LêH“N1Å\‚ÿÿÿÿ“N€Auto Disk Spring AttachmentyLGN€- (€™€6„„˜’€€‚ÿAuto Disk Spring AttachmentInstall the "F" shaped pull back lever upside down, so the leg of the "F" protrudes up into the disk.

It includes a hopper, which attaches with machine screws and nuts, rather than the sheet metal screws of the original hopper. Also included are an adjustable charge bar, and a swivel adapter, which allows you to install/remove the powder measure without having to turn the whole measure out of the die.If you just want to replace the existing hopper, order part #AD2308, $2.00 for the red hopper or #AD2485, $5.00 for the smoke colored hopper.Disks can be removed without removing the hopper by unhooking the pull back spring, lifting up on the hopper, and the disk will slide out the front of the measure.Leakage can be minimized by reducing the amount of clearance between the disk and the bottom of the hopper. To do this, carefully file the tops of the risers that the hopper rests on when attached. The Pro Auto disk hopper mentioned above has an soft plastic wiper built in to the base so it is operated at zero clearance.L]€þ„1^ÿÿÿÿþ„‡Auto Prime and Magnum casesß²„‡3 4€¿€6„„˜’€€‚ÿAuto Prime for Magnum casesThe Auto Prime body has to be opened up slightly on the top rim for large diameter Magnum cases to fit.

You should be able to feel through the lever when the primer is seated in the case. No further pressure on the lever is required. If you press the lever until it contacts the body, it will eventually break. Apply a high viscosity lube (lithium grease, Vaseline, etc.) to the ends of the connecting link before replacing the lever.GX‡y‰1O  ÿÿÿÿy‰JŒAuto Prime loose coverÑ¢2‰JŒ/ ,€E€6„„˜’€€‚ÿAuto Prime loose coverAfter much use, you may find that the clear plastic cover does not fit snugly on to the primer tray. If this occurs, a quick home remedy is to place a couple of pieces of scotch tape on the top rim of the primer tray. This causes there to be less space between the cover and the rim of the primer tray which should result in a tighter fit for the cover.Another option is to bend a paper clip and drop the bent edge through one of the holes on the clear plastic cover where it attaches to the primer tray. This prevents the cover from backing up during priming and lining up with the tabs on the primer tray which is how the cover is removed.Iy‰“Œ1¨­€!ÿÿÿÿ“Œ ÀAuto Prime shell holders_0JŒ À/ ,€a€6„„˜’€€‚ÿAuto Prime shell holdersThe Lee Auto Prime uses unique shell holders made specifically for it. The numbers on them correspond with those on the Universal Shell holders that are made for use in presses. However, they differ in the sense that the Auto Prime shell holders do not have a bottom lug that is present on the Universal holders. This was not done to sell more shell holders, it was done to prevent the tool from having to pass a primer through the additional distance of the lug. This would have resulted in a less accurate tool and one that would have required a much greater distance for the lever to travel to seat a primer.While some people purchase the proper Auto Prime shell holder when they load a different caliber, we do offer a set that contains the holders that fit over 115 calibers.“Œ ÀJŒP“Œ\À1RO "ÿÿÿÿ\ÀQBallistic Coefficients on MoldséE ÀQ¤ ‡‹ €6„„˜’€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€‚ÿBallistic Coefficients on MoldsWe have used the form factor method of calculating the ballistic coefficients for our bullet molds in conjunction with the formula of C = w / i * (d*d) where C is the coefficient, w is the bullet weight in pounds, i = the form factor and d = the bullet diameter. For the purposes of our calculations, we have assumed that all bullets will have a muzzle velocity of 2000 f.ps. or less. Bullet weights are based on 1 part tin to 10 parts lead.We do not have ballistic coefficients on all of our black powder molds as some are larger than .50 caliber and others have a taperd shank such as the REAL bullet. These calculations would result in inaccuracies, therefore it is best to determine those through firing and recording the reduced velocity over a given distance. That data can then be entered into our Shooter program which calculates the ballistic coefficient.Bullet - Ballistic Coefficient32/20, 32 S& W Long, 32 Colt NP311-93-1RF- .125311-100-2R- .174TL314-85-WC- .054TL314-90-SWC- .10038 Special, 38 S&W, 38 Colt New Police358-105-SWC - .106358-125-RF - .116358-140-SWC - .142TL358-148-WC - .072358-148-WC - .072358-150-1R - .131358-150-SWC - .111TL358-158-SWC - .117C358-158-SWC - .117TL358-158-2R - .207358-158-RF- .1609 mm Luger, 38 Super Auto, 380 Auto356-102-1R - .105356-111-1R - .114356-120-TC - .123TL356-124-2R - .164TL356-124-TC - .127356-125-2R - .166356-153-2R - .2039mm Makarov365-95-1R - .09340 S&W, 10 mm401-145-SWC - .117TL401-175-SWC - .141401-175-TC - .14141 magnum, 41 AE410-195-SWC - .110TL410-210-SWC - .119TL410-175-SWC - .09944 Special, 44 Magnum, 44 / 40 WCF429-208-WC - .070429-214-SWC - .111C429-240-SWC - .124429-255-SWC - .132429-200-RF - .124429-214-1R - .151429-240-2R - .196TL430-240-SWC - .169C430-310-RF - .21845 ACP, 45 Auto Rim, 45 Colt452-190-SWC - .121452-200-SWC - .127452-200-RF - .140TL452-200-SWC - .127452-228-1R - .145TL452-230-2R - .189TL452-230-TC - .146452-230-TC - .14645 Colt, 45 Casull452-252-SWC - .136452-255-RF - .210C452-300-RF - .2337mmC285-130-R - .30530 Caliber RifleC309-113-F - .199C309-120-R - .163C309-130-R - .229C309-150-F - .264C309-160-R - .252C309-170-F - .268C309-180-R - .317C309-200-R - .35238-55 / 375 Winchester379-250-RF - .2497.62 x 39C312-155-2R - .268CTL312-160-2R - .2767.65 - 7.7 mm, 303 BritishC312-185-1R - \ÀQ À .2478 mmC324-175-1R - .216338 CalC338-220-1R - .25045-70 Caliber Rifle457-340-F - .211457-405-F - .225459-405-HB - .250457-450-F - .250C457-500-F - .278457-500-3R - .443480 Ruger, 475 Linebaugh476-400-RF - .27150-70 Caliber515-450-f- .220515-500-f- .283Round ball coefficients are based on a velocity of 1000 - 1300 f.p.s at the muzzle..308 - .038.311 - .039.319 - .040.330 - .042.350 - .044.360 - .045.375 - .047.380 - .048.390 - .049.395 - .050.433 - .055.440 - .056.445 - .056.451 - .057.454 - .057.457 - .058.490 - .061.495 - .062.498 - .064.500 - .061.527 - .067.530 - .067.535 - .068.562 - .071.575 - .072.600 - .076.690 - .087Conical Bullet Molds36 Cal .375-130-1r - .12044 Cal .450-200-1r- .12844 Rug .456-220-1r- .137Mini Bullet Mold58 Caliber 575-500- .196Modern Mini, Target DesignBoth sizes are .088A\À’1š€ï#ÿÿÿÿ’ëBallistic TopicsYïQëj ¢€ß€6„„˜’€€‚ãß /H‰‚ãÖK£(‰‚ã¼¹Ó‰‚ãÓ{˜‰€€‚ãÊQ7݉‚ãêÑ6ቂãô ‰‚ãuî¿S‰‚ÿBallistic TopicsAccurate Arms WarningBallistic Coefficients on MoldsCalculating Grains and PoundsCalculating f.p.s. and m.p.h.Cartridge Overall Length DeterminedDram ExplanationRunout ExplanationSAAMI Acronym8’#1½E$ÿÿÿÿ#¨Belgium…Vë¨/ .€¬€6„„˜’€€‚ÿBelgiumR.M.

Measure the case mouth inner diameter after the case has been sized, and after the case mouth has been flared. It only needs to be .001 to .002 under bullet diameter for a tight bullet fit. If the case mouth inner diameter is less than .001 -.002 inch under bullet diameter, the bullet will push out more on the weakest side of the case as it is seated. This is because cases are rarely the same thickness and/or hardness all the way around the circumference of the case mouth. The fix is an oversized sizing die, or smaller bullet diameter.Bulged cases are cosmetic only and pose no danger in shooting.O HtK1Pö…³‰.ÿÿÿÿtKuLBullet Feeder on Other PressesÔ%KuL- (€©€6„„˜’€€‚ÿBullet Feeder on Other PressesIt was designed to fit Lee presses, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be modified to fit other presses.

Check the fit of the buffer on the action rod. The buffer should be tight and not easy to slide up and down the action rod, while the bullet feed fingers should be free to slide back and forth in their track on the bullet feed body. With only the bullet feed body and feed fingers assembled together, shake them back and forth like a salt shaker. The fingers should snap from stop to stop without binding at either end. One can also experiment with the screw that attaches the feed fingers to the bullet feed bod MtuLy. Too tight will obviously cause the fingers to bind, but too loose can allow the fingers to tip and bind also.Make sure that the dampner does not bind in the attach plate. This usually happens when the action rod is attached at too steep and angle. Try to mount the bullet feed in such a way as to make the action rod as close to vertical as possible.H M¼1³‰0ÿÿÿÿ¼z‡Bullet Mold Preparation¾tz‡1 0€ €6„„˜’€€‚‚ÿBullet Mold PreparationAluminum molds require occasional lubrication. Lack of lubrication will cause the mold blocks to misalign, or the sprue plate to gall the top surface of the mold. A technique that works well is to have a glob of hard, stick-type bullet lube (like Lee #90007, but any alox/beeswax lube will work) about the size of a .45 slug rolled into a football; when the mold gets hot, touch one end to the aligning grooves along the sides of the mold block, on the underside of the sprue plate around the sprue pivot, and on the steel pins along the bottom of the mold block. Use sparingly, if any gets into the mold cavity it will cause wrinkled bullets. Fill your melting pot right to the top with lead, and then when the lead is molten, dip the corner of the mold (the aluminum part) into the lead for at least 30 seconds. A good indicator of mold temperature is the puddle that forms on top of the sprue cutter after the mold fills. If this puddle solidifies as you fill the mold, the mold is not hot enough. It should stay molten for 3 to 5 seconds after the mold fills and you stop pouring. Also make sure there the mold cavities are clean (we use Coleman lantern fuel as a solvent), and "smoked". Smoking is accomplished by using a lighter or match and letting the suit from the flame darken the bullet cavity. This process helps the mold release the bullet without undue "persuasion".E¼¿‡1¾Ñ 1ÿÿÿÿ¿‡8ŒBullet Seating PlugsyDz‡8Œ5 8€‰€6„„˜’€€‚ÿBullet Seating PlugsThe bullet seater plug that comes with the die set is as close to generic as we can make it. If you find that the bullet seater plug deforms the nose of the bullet you are trying to seat, we can make a custom bullet seater plug to fit your bullet. For this we would need a sample bullet and payment of $12 (this includes shipping). Many times, you can make this fix yourself by enlarging the pilot hole diameter. If you look closely at the bullet seating plug, you will see that there are two drills used to create the cavity for the bullet tip. One makes the cone-shaped part of the hole, and the bullet should contact the seating plug somewhere on this cone-shaped surface. There is a smaller hole in the center called the pilot hole, and if you are using soft point bullets, or bullet with plastic tips the pilot hole has to be larger in diameter than the tip. That way the seating plug will contact the bullet on the jacket, which is less susceptible to damage than the soft tip.Our address is:Lee Precision, Inc.4275 Highway "U"Hartford, WI 53027S"¿‡‹Œ1Î 2ÿÿÿÿ‹ŒŽBullet Weight not Found in Manuals{N8ŒŽ- (€€6„„˜’€€‚‚ÿBullet Weight not Found in ManualsIf the bullet weight you wish to load is not found in your favorite manual, it is safe to use loads listed for a heavier bullet weight and find a load for the powder you have.

One is that cases are post-sized by the carbide sizing ring in the base of the die. This is like the sizing ring in a resizing die, except that it is ground to maximum allowable outside diameter for the case involved. So if there is a buckle in the case from excessive crimp or a bulge from a slightly oversize bullet, the complete cartridge is resized as it is withdrawn from the die; You can be certain that it will chamber, because it has been resized after the bullet was seated and crimped. There is no provision for seating the bullet with the Factory Crimp Die.The type of crimp on the die depends upon the type of cartridge. With cases that headspace on the case mouth such as the 45ACP, the die essentially reduces the outer diameter of the case mouth into the bullet. On other cases, a roll crimp is applied.The degree of crimp is adjusted by how far down the knob on the top of the die is turned in. The proper setting for this die is with the adjustment knob turned all the way up, turn the die into the press until it touches the shell plate or shell holder which should be in the raised position. Then, raise an empty case into the die and begin to turn the knob inward until you feel it stop on the top of the case. Another 1/2 turn will apply a good crimp and you can adjust from there to suit your specific need.JcÇÞÍ1‰°…8ÿÿÿÿÞ͸Carbide Handgun 3-Die SetΛ”͸3 4€7€6„„˜’€€‚‚ÿCarbide Handgun 3-Die SetThe carbide handgun 3-die set consist of a carbide sizing die, which requires no case lubrication, a powder through expander die and a seater crimper die. Cost for this set is a $230 set-up charge plus the cost of the applicable dies, which would be an additional $38.00 per set.This option is applicable only for calibers that have straight walled case design. The range would be from as small as the .25 ACP to the 480 Ruger. We would need payment in advancÞ͸”Íe, 5 fired cases and three bullets or cartridge and chamber dimensions.Lead time on these sets can be as long as 180 days as a new carbide ring must be made and ground for your cartridge. The set-up cost is a one time per order charge, therefore additional die sets of the same caliber requested in the same order bear only the applicable cost of the dies. If 25 die sets are ordered at one time, we waive the set-up cost.T#ÞÍ 1(°‹¥9ÿÿÿÿ àCartridge Overall Length DeterminedÔ¥¸à/ ,€K €6„„˜’€€‚ÿCartridge Overall Length (O.A.L.) DeterminedThe overall length (o.a.l.) listed on the drawing in Modern Reloading is the SAAMI (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturers Institute) specification. Most of the load data in the book was supplied to us by the powder manufactures. One can exceed the recommended maximum overall length as long as it doesn't interfere with the function of the rifle. If your rifle will not accept ammunition loaded to a longer o.a.l. choose a different bullet/powder combination.There are many tools on the market to determine the "free bore" of your particular rifle. This is the distance from the face of the bolt to the lands of the barrel. A handy way to determine this without such equipment is to use a fine marking pencil and a cleaning rod. Use something to make the internal portion of the threads of the cleaning rod blunt so that a tip of a bullet cannot go into the concave portion. Even a piece of Duct tape will suffice temporarily. With the bolt out of the gun and the bullet you intend to use placed and held up against the lands and grooves of the barrel, place your cleaning rod in from the muzzle until you feel it stop against the tip of the bullet. Mark this spot on the cleaning rod from the muzzle end. Remove the bullet and repeat the procedure with the bolt in and closed. The distance between the two marks will be a close indicator of the maximum COL for that particular bullet.= 1Þ:ÿÿÿÿ¾ Case Forming¡rྠ/ ,€å€6„„˜’€€‚ÿCase FormingThe full length sizing die included with the Pacesetter die set is not technically a case forming die. There is a certain amount of spring back in the brass case, and this spring back has to be taken into consideration when designing the die and its intended purpose.Case forming dies usually need to be made to smaller internal dimensions to compensate for more spring back, because the case dimensions are being altered to a greater degree. Sometimes a full length sizing die will work as a case forming die, but it depends on a large number of variables, and is impossible to predict with any accuracy.K 1+ ¥€;ÿÿÿÿ CCase Length Gauge Calibers €¾ C‰ à€€6„„˜’€€‚€€€€‚ÿCase Length Gauge CalibersRifle22 Hornet - #90111221 Fireball - #90112222 Remington - #90113223 Remington - #90114223 WSSM - #9067322/250 - #90116220 Swift - #90118243 Winchester - #90119243 WSSM - #903896mm Remington (244 Rem.) - #9012025/20 W.C.F.- #90121250 Savage (250/3000) - #90122257 Roberts - #9012325/06 Remington - #901246.5 Carcano - #900436.5 x 55 Mauser - #90126260 Rem - #909936.8 SPC - #90189270 Winchester - #90128270 Winchester Short Mag - #90117284 Winchester - #901297 x 57 Mauser - #901307mm/08 - #901677mm Express/280 Rem - #901667mm Remington Magnum - #901317mm Winchester Short Mag - #903147 x 64 Brenneke - #902367.5 Swiss (Schmidt-Rubin) - #901327.5 x 54 MAS - #900517.62 x 39 Russian - #901337.62 x 54 Russian - #901477.65 Mauser (Belgian-Arg) - #9013430 M1 Carbine - #9013530/30 Winchester - #9013630/40 Krag - #90137300 Savage - #-90138300 Winchester Short Mag - #90034308 Winchester - #9013930/06 Springfield - #90140300 H&H / 300 Ultra Mag - #90141300 Winchester Magnum - #90142300 Weatherby Magnum - #90143303 British - #9014432/20 W.C.F.- #901467.

If it appears near the chamber, chances are that bullet diameter or hardness are the cause. A diameter too small and/or too hard an alloy will allow high pressure gas to leak past the bullet, which erodes the bullet and leaves leading near the chamber. If the leading first appears on the leading edge of the rifling (if you imagine the bullet being pushed through the barrel, you will note that one edge of the rifling does most of the work of imparting a spin to the bullet. This is the edge you see when you look through the barrel from the breech end) the bullet might be too soft, and/or the velocity too high. If the leading appears in the second half of the barrel, the bullet is running out of lube. You should see a star shaped pattern of lube accumulate on the muzzle. This is an indication that there is a little excess lube.PB‚‚†1>€Bÿÿÿÿ‚†p‰Cast Bullets Size Specificationî½2†p‰1 0€{€6„„˜’€€‚ÿCast Bullets Size SpecificationStandard practice is to size cast bullets .001 inch over jacketed diameter, but there is not 100% agreement on this. Some of the sources state that cast bullets should be sized to groove diameter, others state they should be sized to chamber throat diameter, still others state to size to .001 inch under the inside diameter of the case mouth of a fired case. If you are using softer lead and the pressures of the cartridge are generally low, bullets of the same diameter as the bore or even slightly less than diameter will work fine because the pressure causes the bullet to compress and "swell" to the groove diameter while in the bore.

First, an attempt was made to size a case with little or no lube causing the case to stick in the die. Pressure placed on the case after that point is transferred directly to the linkage because no progress can be made at the die. Second, the handle for the press was not initially placed all the way through both holes of the toggle links.When receiving new toggle links, ensure that you insert the handle of the press all of the way through both holes in the links and that they are securely fastened with the bolt that goes through them.A tip on effective case lubrication; using some Lee resizing lubricant, spread a small amount around the case below the shoulder so that there is a thin film. With the small amount of film that remains on your finger, "scrape" some into the inside of the case neck. Even though it's only on one side of the inside case neck, go ahead and resize the case. Additional cases that have had the same procedure ensure that the decapper / expander inside the sizing die is properly lubricated. This method is far easier and faster than using the many utensils on the market meant to completely coat the inside of the case neck.Cljf1÷ €€Dÿÿÿÿf±ÆClassic Cast Press@#¦* $€,€6Œ„˜’€ € ‚ÿClassic Cast Pressÿ f±Æ_ Œ€A €6„„˜’€€€€ €€€€€€¦±Æ#€‚ÿLee proudly introduces the finest single stage reloading press - The LEE CLASSIC CASTA rigid cast iron frame, cast and machined with pride in the USA, baked powder finish and all steel linkage make this one of the most attractive and sturdy presses made.

This results in very uniform case mouth inner diameter, regardless of case wall thickness. With bushing-type neck sizing dies, one has to select (and usually purchase) the appropriate bushing to get the desired case mouth inner diameter. Uniform case mouth inner diameter gives uniform bullet pull, and as you know, uniformity is what accurate ammunition is all about. The Collet die set also includes what we call the "dead length" bullet seating die. This die is set up like a full length sizing die, in that one adjusts the die down so that the shell holder presses against the bottom of the die when the ram is at the top of its stroke. This pressure removes any clearance between the shell holder and ram, lever linkage, die threads and press frame, etc. and results in a more uniform bullet seating depth. Note that there is no provision for crimping in this die.MúLjÌ1]€GÿÿÿÿˆÌCCollet Die Pressure Exertion¯€;ÌC/ ,€ €6„„˜’€€‚ÿCollet Die Pressure exertionAll of the sizing in the Collet die takes place at the very end of the stroke, when the ram/shell holder appears to bottom out against the base of the die. If you lean into the handle at this point, you will force the collet up into the die body, and cause the collet to squeeze the case neck down against the mandrel (the very end of which pops out the spent primer). About 25 lbs. of force is sufficient to resize most cases. If you are sitting in front of your press, just leaning your upper body weight into the lever is about right.A good way to determine how much is necessary is to start the case into the die and feel the die remove the primer. Start using pressure and work up to what you think is about 25 lbs. Remove the case from the die and attempt to place the intended bullet in the caseˆÌC;Ì neck. If there is little or no resistance, repeat the process with slightly more pressure. When you have reached a point where there are vertical striation marks on the outside of the case neck or the intended bullet does not fit easily into the case neck, the correct amount of pressure has been achieved.?ˆÌ‚1sm„ûHÿÿÿÿ‚¶Collet Die Set4ûC¶9 @€÷ €6„„˜’€€‚ÿCollet Die Set A Custom Collet Die Set costs $50 per set which consists of the Collet neck sizing die, Dead Length bullet seating die and shellholder. Maximum outer diameter at the base is .555 and the maximum bullet diameter is .375. There are a few exceptions for the larger Ultra Mags and if interested in those, you may want to give us a call or send a case to determine whether or not we can make them.Cartridges with a larger bullet diameter or base diameter than those listed above can be made in our large series dies, which have 1 1/4-12 thread.

If the crimp shoulder is set too deeply, the case is crimped before the bottom of the press stroke is achieved. Once the bullet is seated, additional pressure pushes the already heavily crimped case into the die further resulting in a crushed case. This is a common occurence with thin and long case case necks such as the 30-30 Winchester. Be sure to set the die per instructions. For a clever way to set this die quickly, see our FAQ under "Dies and Die Questions" and then "Seating Die Adjustment".The second reason is generally associated with our collet dies. If the collet in the die has been collapsed, the case neck can not clearly enter the collet area. This results in a crushed and / or buckled case. This can be avoided by not operating the die without a case in it. If this happens, it is necessary to remove the collet and pry the collet leaves back so that they stay apart when inserted back into the die. The ID of the die body will cause the leaves to stay uniformity apart.C] z1fð KÿÿÿÿzCustom Lee Loaders#ö7- (€í€6„„˜’€€‚ÿCustom Lee Loaders While we get many requests, Lee Precision offers no custom work for it's Classic Lee Loader line.

This new expander differs in appearance from the original in that it is tapered. The new expander pulls almost effortlessly though the neck and is designed use the maximum mechanical advantage of the bottom of the press stroke. Like the original, if the expander hits an obstruction, it pushes harmlessly through the decapping clamp which holds it in place. The shank is so strong that you can actually remove stuck cases by loosening the decapping clamp and using a drift punch of the same diameter to knock the case out of the die. The new design also aids in reforming dented or squashed case necks.The Easy X Expander has been produced for some time and most new dies on dealer shelves already have them. If you would like to ensure you have one, check your recently purchased full length die set. If the Expander is not tapered, we can send the correct one. The Easy X Expanders are $3.00 each and a total shipping cost of $4.00 regardless of the quantity ordered. They are not identified separately as Easy X Expanders because they have replaced the old expander. Therefore, simply asking for an expander / decapper for a particular caliber ensures that you would receive one.It should be noted that the following calibers use a handgun decapper and they do not expand the neck of the case.30 M138-55 Winchester375 Winchester45-70 Government 44-40 Winchester32-2038-40444 MarlinOur Collet Dies do not and never have used an expander.L¥ˆZ1T³ € SÿÿÿÿZUÁElectrontic Loading Manualsï¾UÁ1 0€}€6„„˜’€€‚ÿElectronicLoading ManualsFive powder companies have submitted their loading manuals in a format that allows ShootZUÁer to display and / or print them to your screen.

L€‡ €6„„˜’€€‚€€€€‚ÿFirst Time Progressive loadingProgressive presses are designed for experienced reloaders, and shooters who go through several hundred rounds per week. Unlike a single stage loader, a progressive press causes many things to occur at the same time and because of this, there are many more things to monitor which can be a source of frustration for the beginner. There is no reason you can't start with a progressive press, but unless you go through over 200 rounds per week a progressive press is not really necessary. The Turret press is both less expensive and easier to set up, and (once set up) can reload more than 200 rounds an hour in experienced hands. Setting up a progressive press requires patience and attention to detail. The Anniversary Kit and the Deluxe Turret Press Kit both contain the basic elements for a complete set up. Just order the die set or sets that correspond to the cartridges you wish to reload, and for rifle cartridges, a case length gauge/shell holder to maintain correct case length. The shell holder needed for the press to use the dies is included with all Lee Die sets other than RGB.If you decide on a fully progressive press for your first, we would strongly advise loading one cartridge at a time until you are completely familiar with what functions are occurring at every station. Once you clearly understand the mechanics involved, then you can begin loading a new case with every stroke and be at "full tilt".N11{n 1 [ÿÿÿÿ® Font Error on Loading Manuals-3® - (€€6„„˜’€€‚ÿFont Error on Loading ManualsThere are three loading manuals that will most likely advise you that your system cannot find a particular font.

Slightly adjust back to a hotter temperature and you should have achieved the prime temperature setting for your pot.Frosted bullets cause no problem when shooting so it is not necessary to discard them back into the pot.

This is the preferred method because the act of sizing sometimes results in flex that prevents the shell holder from touching the bottom of the die.Lee dies are designed so that the shoulder of the case is not sized until the very top of the die has been reached. This is done for two reasons; first, we don't want the die to overwork your brass and second and more importantly, we do not want to invite headspace problems. Pushing the shoulder back too soon can create a situation that can eventually cause case separation and a dangerous situation.If you note that your Lee Die don't appear to push the shoulder of your case back, ensure that you are adjusting the die so that there is no daylight between the top of the shell holder and the bottom of the die during the sizing process. If you see daylight at the top of the stroke, readjust the die downward and repeat sizing until it disappears. If your case is still difficult to chamber, you can send the die back to us with a sized case and we can modify the die to minimum SAAMI specifications.Lee Precision, Inc.4275 Highway UHartford, WI 53027Carbide Sizing Die AdjustmentWith the shell plate or shell holder at the top of the stroke, turn the die in until it touches the shell holder and set the lock ring. Collet Die AdjustmentIf you are using the Collet die in an RCBS Rockchucker press, or a similar design that toggles over center at the top of the (ram) stroke, this applies far greater force than is necessary to resize just the neck of the case, and can damage the die or collapse the case. To correct this situation, adjust the die two full turns into the press after the die contacts the shell holder with the ram at the top of its stroke, rather than one as in the instructions. This will stop the press before it gets to the toggle over point. With a press without having an over center feature, apply about 25 lbs. of pressure to the handle once it bottoms out to resize the case. On most presses, this translates to over 600 lbs of pressure on the ram.The collet might be stuck in the closed position from closing the die without a case inside. Remove the cap from the top of the Collet die and push the mandrel, collet sleeve and collet out through the top of the die. Open the collet back up with a tapered punch or Phillips screwdriver. If this occurs with a full length sizing die, the decapper/expander is out of adjustment. The decapper/expander should be flush with the top of the decapper clamp. If it protrudes more t Dÿÿÿÿ½Chan 1/4 inch, the die will be resizing the inside and outside diameter of the case neck at the same time, resulting in a collapsed case shoulder.Powder Through Expanding Die AdjustmentThe quickest and most accurate way to set this die is to put the shell holder or shell plate at the top of the stroke and turn the die in until the bottom of it touches the shell holder or shell plate. At that point, back it out a half turn which should set the die to begin giving you the proper flare to the case mouth. It is important that when attaching a powder measure to the die, that it be tightened so that the expander plug cannot move up into the die defeating the purpose of setting it in this fashion.Seating Die AdjustmentThe trick is to set the bullet seating depth first, then the crimp. With an empty, sized case in the shell holder, hold the ram at the top of its stroke. Turn the bullet seating die body down over the case until you feel it come to a stop. This will be when the case mouth contacts the crimp shoulder inside the die. Mark this position by turning the lock ring down against the turret or press frame. Now adjust your bullet seating depth. Once you have the bullet seated to the desired depth, back the bullet seater adjuster out about 1 turn. Now turn the bullet seating die body in to apply the desired crimp. Once this is established, hold the ram at the top of its stroke and spin the bullet seater adjuster down until it stops. It is a good idea to carry this out with an empty case, so that after you have seated the bullet, you have a perfectly safe "dummy" cartridge (or gauge) to repetitively set seating depth and crimp on future occasions.Once you have this "dummy" gauge, all you have to do is place it in the shell holder, raise the ram to the top of its stroke, turn the bullet seating body down until it stops, and then turn the bullet seating depth adjuster in until it stops. Since the crimp and the seating depth were already set, the die will return to very close to the same settings.Rifle Factory Crimp Die AdjustmentThe amount of crimp applied will be consistent if your press has mechanical stops built into the lever linkage, and you lower the lever to the stop every time. Start with the Factory Crimp die turned into the press until it stops against the shell holder with the ram raised all the way. Lower the ram, and turn the die in one full turn. Now try crimping a case, making sure that you raise the ram (lower the lever) all the way to the stop. You will feel slight resistance at the top of the stroke, as the crimp collet is forced up into the die body. If the crimp is not firm enough, turn the die in another 1/4 turn and try again. If you turn the die in to the point where the four slits in the collet are closed when the ram is raised all the way, you have reached the limit.Handgun Carbide Factory Crimp Die AdjustmentWith an empty case in the shell holder or shell plate, turn the die with it's finger adjustment all the way out into the press until the bottom of the die touches the shell holder or shell plate. Turn the finger adjustment knob down until you feel it stop which means that the crimp sleeve has en gauged the top of the case. Remove the case and turn the adjustment knob in an additional 1/2 turn which is adequate for most loading. Turn the adjustment knob in or out to suit.Dead Length Bullet Seating Die AdjustmentThe idea behind the floating bullet seater plug or "dead length bullet seating" is as follows; If you look inside the bullet seating die, you will see a restriction about 3/4 the way to the top of the die. This restriction is only .001 larger than bullet diameter, and is positioned so that when the bullet starts to seat into the case, the bearing surface will be passing through this restriction. The bullet seater plug, being free to move axially, and due to the shape of the cavity will find the center of the nose, and a properly prepared case will find the center of the base of the bullet. The die should D—ĽCbe turned in to touch the shell holder and is designed to be adjusted that way to eliminate clearance in the press for a more uniform bullet seating depth.Most case/bullet alignment is determined in the resizing die. If the case neck is sized too small, the bullet will actually resize (open back up) the case neck when it is seated. If the case neck is thinner or softer on one side (and they usually are) the bullet will push out more on that side. Excessive crimp or an out of square case mouth can also cause bullet run out.Universal Decapping die adjustmentThe trick to adjusting the decapper is to just tighten the decapper clamp enough so that the decapper will push out 90% of the primers, but the very stubborn ones will cause the decapper to slide up through the clamp. Start with the decapper clamp just tight enough to keep the decapper from falling out the bottom of the die. Try to resize a case. The decapper will probably slide up through the decapper clamp. Tap the decapper back down flush with the top of the decapping clamp, tighten the clamp another 1/8 turn, and try again. Repeat until you successfully deprime the case.E DÜÄ1\ƒ ­… aÿÿÿÿÜÄóÊFull Length Die SetsD—Ä Å+ &€2€6Œ„˜’€€‚ÿFull Length Die SetsÓ”ÜÄóÊ?

Lee Dies size cases as minimally as possible while still ensuring proper chambering so that your brass isn't "overworked" by the die. It is necessary to lubricate the case prior to full length sizing.We recommend full length sizing when shooting fired brass for the first time in any rifle. It is also the preferred technique for rifles intended to be used for hunting so that rough handling of the ammunition through the magazine and chambering does not become a factor for error.Neck sizing with our Collet Dies generally provides increased accuracy because the spent cartridge becomes "fire formed" to your specific chamber. No case lube is necessary because the die is only pressing the neck against the mandrel in the middle of the die. Neck sizing is only preferable when reloading cases that have been fired out of your rifle. They are primarily designed for accuracy when using a bolt action rifle for target use. Collet neck sizing results>Ë óÊ in cases lasting up to ten times longer without the need for trimming near as often, as when full length sizing.The Dead Length Bullet Seater that comes with our neck sizing dies is designed for accuracy and does not crimp the case as does the seater/crimper in our Pacesetter dies. It is designed to touch the shell holder to eliminate clearance in the press for a more uniform bullet seating depth.Our Deluxe Rifle Die Set includes our Collet Die set along with a full length sizing die. The full length die is included so that you may prepare newly obtained brass for the first firing in your rifle. Remember, it is necessary to lubricate the case for the full length sizing die only.

This will provide the tightest bullet fit. One can use a factory loaded cartridge to set bullet depth. Place the loaded cartridge in the decapping chamber as in step #4. Assemble the die as shown in step #7, with the stop collar turned all the way up. Place the bullet seater tool in the top of the die as shown in step #7, it should drop all the way down to the stop collar. Now turn the stop collar down until the bullet seater just begins to rise up off of the stop collar. Where the bullet seater separates from the stop collar is the factory bullet seating depth.GúAnE1çv­‡}ÿÿÿÿnEILee Powder Measure Kit 7'EIi  €o€6„„˜’€€È4EF("www.leeprecision.com/instruct/index.html",`',1)‰‚ÿLee Powder Measure KitThis kit consists of 15 dippers.

This was done for those who prefer to use our dies in other brands of presses that have thicker tool heads, turrets or castings. Unfortunately, we can't guarantee that the die will work with all brands of presses as far as length. The die bodies are standard 7/8 x 14 threads and will thread into any industry standard press.Dies of older manufacture had threads which measured 1.75" while current dies have threads of 1.85". This measurement should be taken from the bottom of the die body to the top of the threads. There is an exception to this pertaining to pistol bullet seating dies. Since this die is adjusted to sit further up than other dies, they have not been modified.H¢OGƒ1àߌcÿÿÿÿGƒ߉Liquid Alox Application˜cÿ‚߉5 8€Ç €6„„˜’€€‚ÿLiquid Alox ApplicationBest results in applying liquid alox are when the alox is heated before applying, or thinned with paint thinner. This makes it flow more easily, and results in a more even coat. One technique is to boil water and pour it into a coffee mug, and then drop the bottle of liquid alox into the mug for about five minutes. Place your freshly cast bullets into something about the size of a Cool Whip bowl and drop a few drops of liquid Alox on the bullets. Mix the bullets around until they are all coated. Lay the freshly coated bullets on some wax paper to dry. Liquid alox will usually dry enough overnight to reload the next day, depending upon the humidity. Tacky bullets can be dusted with powdered graphite. Once properly lubricated, the shelf life of applied liquid Alox is indefinite.If you subscribe to the "more is better" line of thought, your coated bullets may never dry. Don't go for a "golden" color but rather just a light varnish. If you discover that your bullets are sticky the next day, you can get by with using a little less the next time. Keep reducing until the "stickiness" is gone by the next day.If you are sizing your cast bullets, it is necessary to lube them first. Because the sizer will remove some of the surface of a larger diameter bullet, you may need to re-lubricate the bullets after they have been sized.Many of our bullets are of the "TL" or Tumble Lube design. These bullets have many shallow grooves that are perfect for allowing Liquid Alox to adhere to a great amount of surface. It has been reported that the accuracy of these bullets is high.S"Gƒ2Š1cB ‚ÿÿÿÿ2ŠBŽLM primer seating depth adjustmentß߉BŽ1 0€¿€6„„˜’€€‚ÿLoad Master primer seating depth adjustmentThe best way to adjust the primer seating depth is as follows; First make sure that the press is stopping on the stop built into the handle, not on one of the dies. You should adjust the sizing die so that it touches the shell plate when the ram is at the top of its stroke. Next, place a fired case with the spent primer still in it in the primer seating station. Loosen the locknut on the primer seating depth adjuster, and turn the adjuster up until you run out of threads. Now raise the ram to the top of its stroke with the fired case in station #2. Holding the ram up with one hand, turn the primer seating depth adjuster down until you feel resistance. This will be when the primer seating pin contacts the spent primer in the case previously inserted into station #2. Lower the ram, and turn the primer seating depth adjuster down 1/6 - 1/3 more (one to two flats on the bolt head), and lock in position with the lock nut.H2ŠŠŽ1½c€ƒÿÿÿÿŠŽ ÀLoad All Powder LeakageuHBŽ À- (€‘€6„„˜’€€‚ÿLoad All Powder leakageA small amount of powder leakage should be considered normal.

The Load Master is a five station press, the Pro 1000 is a three. Both include automatic indexing, automatic primer feed and case feed, and both can be fitted with an automatic bullet feed. Both come set up with everything you need to start loading the caliber chosen. People who wish to load rifle or use the Lee Carbide Factory Crimp dies for handgun loading opt for the Load Master.Caliber changer overs for both presses can be done in less than five minutes. The Load Master is a little more costly to purchase and to change calibers. Both presses are designed for experienced reloaders. That is not to say that a first time reloader shouldn't order one, but one should have good mechanical aptitude to start with a progressive.KÂ’Æ1ü@ƈ†ÿÿÿÿ’ÆCÊLoad Master Caliber Switch±xGÆCÊ9 @€ñ€6„„˜’€€‚‚ÿLoad Master Caliber SwitchTo switch the Load Master from one caliber to another, consider the following:Appropriate shell plate which retail for $29.98Appropriate case feeder if applicable which retail for $25 (Large for .38 Special and larger)Appropriate primer assembly if applicable, which retail for $24.98Appropriate set of diesTurret (optional) which retail for $14.98If the desire is to load the 40 S&W, it is necessary to have the large case feeders but the small case slider. This is very uncommon but is necessary with this caliber.If the desire is to load the 454 Casull, the same configuration is used as for the 45 Colt, however the priming assembly must be for small priming instead of large.The 50 AE can be loaded however, the case feeder cannot be used as even the large size is too small. It is also necessary to lube the cases as the dies are steel.P’Æ“Ê1± N…‡ÿÿÿÿ“Ê¢Load Master Case Feeder ProblemÏCÊ¢4 6€Ÿ€6„„˜’€€‚ÿLoad Master Case Feeder ProblemThere are two adjustments on the case feed depth for the Load Master. One is located near the base of the press, where the 1/4" square steel rod attaches to the feed bracket. The feed bracket is threaded into the base of the frame, and case insertion can be adjusted by turning the case feed bracket in or out one full turn at a time. This moves the whole case feed assembly relative to the frame. The other is the tension on the screws that hold the two parts of the crank slider together, although the range of adjustment is nowhere near as wide as the above. Basically, the tighter the screws, the longer it will take for the crank slider to move relative to the case inserter. Whenever the carrier changes direction (at the top or bottom of the stroke) you will notice that the z-bar between the case inserter and crank slider swings through about a 30 degrees arc; This movement bumps the case the last 1/2" or so into the shell plate when the carrier is down, and bumps the case inserter back to allow the next case in the case feeder to drop down when the carrier is up. If the case feeder doesn't behave this way, try adding more drag to the crank slider by lubricating the feed rod with STP oil treatment, or some similar thick, high viscosity lube. Also try lubricating the case feed rail“Ê¢CÊ along the bottom edges, and a very thin film on the top surface. Often the case slider will bind, but it will appear as if the crank slider is causing the trouble. Finally, make sure the feed rod is aligned properly to the press frame. If you look down the end of the feed rod, the flat sides should be parallel and perpendicular to the center line of the press. If the feed rod is tipped in this plane, the z-bar connecting the crank slider to the case inserter will be at an angle, which will cause the case feed to bind. Also, looking down the center line of the case feed bracket, the feed rod should be straight up and down, or pointing at 12 o'clock.Q “Êó1ƒƈˆÿÿÿÿó%Load Master Crank Slider Binding2¢%/ ,€ €6„„˜’€€‚ÿLoad Master Crank Slider BindingIf you have an older style feed rod that doesn't have a Teflon coating, try lightly polishing the feed rod with steel wool or 320 (or finer) grit sandpaper. A light coat of STP oil treatment on both the feed rod and the bottom of the case slider rail will allow both to move more freely. Also make sure that the case feed rod is mounted into the feed bracket so that it is straight up and down when viewed from the right hand side of the press, and that the Feed crank is not tipped. Adjust the crank slider screws so that there is slightly more friction on the crank slider than on the case slider.An easy way to ensure that you have the proper amount of tension on the crank slider is to place the carrier in the down position. Loosen the screws on the crank slider, then tighten the top one until it is as tight as possible without stripping the screw. Push the case slider towards the shell plate carrier as far as it will go. Then start to tighten the lower screw on the crank slider. With your finger and from the carrier side of the case slider, push it backwards onto the slide ramp. The amount of resistance should be slightly more than what it would take to push a full can of soda across a table with the tip of your finger.Jóo1, €‰ÿÿÿÿoÍALoad Master index problemR  %ÍA3 4€?€6„„˜’€€‚ÿLoad Master index problemThere are two common causes for the Load Master to not index correctly. The easiest to check is the case ejector. This is a chrome plated part just under the black knurled nut that holds down the shell plate. There is a "tail" on the case ejector that prevents the shell plate from turning clockwise as the indexer is pulled out of the shell plate carrier. Make sure then end of this tail is bent down so that it drops into the holes in the top of the shell plate (if it doesn't, bend it with a needle nose pliers). It is important that when placed onto the square fitting on the carrier, that the case ejector not be able to move at all in a rotary manner. If it does, this would allow the shell plate to move in a clockwise manner which will cause index problems.The other is carrier misalignment. Sometimes a difficult index causes the whole shell plate carrier to rotate on the end of the ram, rather than just the shell plate. This pulls the indexer away from the ramps cast into the frame that normally operate the indexer. The fix is outlined on the last page of the instructions, under "Alignment of the Carrier to the Turret". Basically what you are doing is loosening the carrier on the ram so that you can turn it clockwise (looking down from the top of the press) a degree or so, to bring the indexer closer to the frame.While the directions contain more detail, loosen the draw bolt on the bottom of the ram of the press until the carrier is loose. Raise the ram to a point that the round portion of the flipper on the end of the index rod is against the protruded rib on the frame of the press. Ensure that the index rod is in towards the carrier as far as it will go. From the front facing the press, pull slightly on the case feed ramp so that the round part of the flipper on the index rod is flush with protruding rib on the preoÍA%ss frame. Holding the carrier in place, re-tighten the draw bolt to about twelve pounds of pressure. This means using about twelve pounds of pressure at the end of the handle of a one foot socket wrench or about twenty five pounds with a six inch socket wrench. It is important to hold the carrier tightly in place while tightening the draw bolt, if not done, the carrier will move counter-clockwise under the torque of tightening the draw bolt.LoB1¾ 8‹ŠÿÿÿÿB‹MLoad Master Priming problemr 8 ÍA‹M: B€q€6„„˜’€€‚ÿLoad Master Priming ProblemPrimer problems on the Load-Master is usually caused by the primer pin sticking up a small amount. To fix this problem you must determine what is causing the pin to not completely retract. To solve these issues, start by removing the primer trough, looking into the carrier you will find a hexagon hole, on one of the corners of the hex there is a shelf to prevent the primer pin from dropping down too far. This shelf can become fouled with dirt, gunpowder, or case cleaning media. Clean this shelf of any foreign material. Now carefully inspect the primer pin for any nicks or burrs. A small nick on the large diameter of the pin will cause it to stick up and cause primer tipping. Lubricate the large diameter of the primer pin with a very light film of oil and return it to the primer feed well. Be sure the small spring is installed and intact.Remove the trough cover and carefully inspect the hole where the primer passes through. Remove any burrs on this hole with a sharp razor knife. Feel free to enlarge the hole to remove any burr. The hole does not provide guidance for the primer, but any burr will cause a potential tipped primer. Carefully inspect the primer slider for any nicks, burrs or flash and be certain you have the correct slider for the primer size (small or large).Reinstall the trough cover and apply a very small drop of oil to the black primer lever pivot. Now reinstall the primer trough. Cycle the primer rocker and be sure the primer pin retracts completely. Now is a good time to check the primer seating depth bolt for proper adjustment. Remove the turret and run the press to the top of the stroke. Push down on the primer rocker arm. If you are unable to push the rocker arm down a small amount you likely have the primer depth bolt set down too far. Many times, this is the result of incorrectly set dies at some point. If a sizing die is set further than to just touch the shell holder, the carrier cannot go all the way to the top. This can make the user believe that the primer seating depth is now incorrect and not deep enough. When the deeper adjustment is made to the primer depth, the priming pin rises prematurely. This causes the primer slider to have to push the primer up and on the pin instead of simply sliding it on. This setting results in tipped primers and destroyed primer sliders. More damage can occur when the carrier can once again go to the top because the offending die has been readjusted or a different and properly adjusted die set installed. The deeper primer adjustment is now putting far too much pressure on the primer rocker arm and a destroyed carrier will result.One last helpful change is to place your sizing die in position 2 with its decapper removed. Put a decapping die in position one. This will align case perfectly to accept the primer.V%BáM1B€‹ÿÿÿÿáM‹‚Load Master primer seating adjustmentžo‹M‹‚/ ,€ß€6„„˜’€€‚ÿLoad Master primer seating adjustmentThe best way to adjust the primer seating depth is as follows; First make sure that the press is stopping on the stop built into the handle, not on one of the dies. You should adjust the sizing die so that it touches the shell plate when the ram is at the top of its stroke. Maintain a slight downward pressure on the lever while turning the sizing die into the turret, to prevent the die from lowering the carrier as you screw it in. Next, place a fireáM‹‚‹Md case with the spent primer still in it in the primer seating station. Loosen the locknut on the primer seating depth adjuster, and turn the adjuster up until you run out of threads. Now raise the ram to the top of its stroke with the fired case in station #2. Holding the ram up with one hand, turn the primer seating depth adjuster down until you feel resistance. This will be when the primer seating pin contacts the spent primer in the case previously inserted into station #2. Lower the ram, and turn the primer seating depth adjuster down 1/6 - 1/3 more (one to two flats on the bolt head), and lock in position with the lock nut.R!áMÝ‚1Ø 8‹ô ŒÿÿÿÿÝ‚cLoad Master Smooth Operation Tips† ô ‹‚c’ ò€é€6„„˜’€€‚€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€‚ÿLoad Master Smooth Operation TipsThe following points are meant to help the user get the performance and reliability from the Load Master that it was designed for. Most always, Load Master problems lie with one of the following issues.1. Ensure that no die is turned in further than to just touch the shell plate (exception being the sizing die which can be 1/4 turn more) This helps alleviate seating depth variations when a case is not being sized.2. Ensure that you are using full strokes of the press handle.3. Ensure that your primer seating depth bolt is adjusted correctly. A description on how to do this is in this FAQ under "Priming and Priming Problems" and then "LoadMaster primer seating depth adjustment". This is important to ensure trouble free priming.4. While not required, many people have had good luck with placing a Universal Decapping Die in station #1 to simply deprime the case. Remove the decapping pin from the sizing die and place it in station #2. This ensures that the case is perfectly centered to the priming pin because it is being sized at the same time.5. Ensure that your bead chain has the proper tension between the press carrier and the lever on the Auto Disk Powder Measure and that you are using the buffer spring. This procedure can be found in this FAQ under "Powder Handling" and then "Auto Disk Chain Attachment". The extra "1 bead" of tension is critical to ensure positive an consistent powder measurement with each case. If you are unable to achieve this setting. Purchase an "F" lever and return spring which allows you to eliminate the chain return system.6. Keep the press lubed per instructions.7. Do not loosen the bolt on the bottom of the press to make emptying primers easier. This bolt holds the proper tension on the shell carrier. If you do loosen it by accident, retighten to 12 lbs of force. This procedure can be found in the FAQ under "Press and Press Questions" and then "Load Master Index Problem". The last three paragraphs deal with resetting the carrier correctly.8. Ensure that the case retainers are adjusted correctly. This means that they do not have too much tension on them so that they restrict movement of the carrier but not so loose that a case going by can push them beyond the rim of the case. This can be done by pushing them all the way in with slight tension. The case going by the first time will push them out to the correct setting. This is especially important in the priming station.DÝ‚§1Bœ ÿÿÿÿ§¥ŽLoading Data Topicsþ¨c¥ŽV z€Q€6„„˜’€€‚ãÁ.‡|‰‚ãzàŸ®‰‚ãÊQ7݉‚ãáRÉꉂã4R½‰‚ãl¤:剂ÿLoading Data Topics8 x 56 MannlicherBullet Weight not Found in ManualCartride Overall LengthGeneral Policy on Load DataLee Load DataMaximum LoadsF§ëŽ1­ô €ŽÿÿÿÿëŽMÁLock Ring ExplanationV)¥ŽMÁ- (€S€6„„˜’€€‚ÿLock Ring ExplanationThe o-ring in the lock ring provides a friction fit between the lock ring and the die.

This puddle should remain liquid for 3 to 5 seconds after the flow of lead is cut off. If the puddle solidifies as you fill the mold, then the lead is probably doing the same thing inside the mold, resulting in a wrinkled, undersized bullet.Hª ˜ 1df–ÿÿÿÿ˜ ´ Mold diameter toleranceíP ´ / ,€Û€6„„˜’€€‚ÿMold diameter toleranceOur bullet mold tolerance is stated diameter, +.003/-.000 inch.

You could probably use one of our standard molds at as-cast diameter with good results.If the bullets are oversize or out of round the mold is not fully closing. A build up of lube, splash of lead, or a burr on the mold block faces are holding them apart. Inspect the mold block faces and carefully remove anything that might hold the mold apart.

As with presses of all brands, it is important to ensure that the case is properly lubricated prior to any attempt at sizing.Proper lubrication requires the use of a good quality lubricant such as that made by Lee. We purchased the finest automotive deep draw lubricant and had it custom packaged exclusively for us. It is pleasant to handle and you can thin it with water. Non-sticky, nonallergenic and very little is needed;it goes a long way. What many people do is place some lube on the bench and using there thumb and forefinger, spread a small amount around the case below the shoulder. Then, with the thin film still on your finger, slide it over the case neck which should place a small amount of lube inside a portion of the case neck. Your case is ready to be sized. As you continue this process, a number of cases going into the die at different rotary positions ensures that the case lube is uniform over the decapper / expanding pin. This trick saves the task of having to use a tool to ensure the inside of the case neck is uniformly lubed.The following is an excerpt from "Modern Reloading" written by Richard Lee in regard to press strength.."I take special delight in my part to end a trend of the manufacturers advertising how strong their presses are. Their claims were true. One particular press was 40 times stronger than need be to do the job. To point out how ridiculous it was, I turned down each of the support columns of a Lee Turret Press to 1/8 inch. I then sized a large magnum case with these skinny columns. A picture of this in all the shooting publications ended the "Mine is bigger than yours claims." The silly ads stopped."@ñÀ lÈ 1=€Ô‰©ÿÿÿÿlÈ iË Press ThreadingýÎ,È iË / ,€€6„„˜’€€‚ÿPress ThreadingAll of our presses and dies are made with 7/8" x 14 thread, which is considered industry standard. If you have another brand of press that uses this same thread our dies will work. Conversely, other brands of dies made for industry standard presses will work in all of our presses.Dies of newer manufacture have threads that are 1.90 inches tall as opposed to the shorter threaded dies of 1.70" inches. This measurement should be taken from the bottom of the die body to the top of the threads. This was done in an attempt to adapt our dies for use in presses that use thicker tool heads. Unfortunately, we can't guarantee that the threads are long enough to work flawlessly in all presses.= lÈ ¦Ë 1j‡Œªÿÿÿÿ¦Ë ÓÎ Press Topics „iË ±Í ‡ Ü€ €6„„˜’€€‚ã»Ø;§‰‚ãSh'뉂ã“&‰‚ãÿóõò‰‚ãúª…‰‚ã¢òÚ牂ãçŒ Ÿ‰‚ãøG©Ö‰‚ãÕdTɉ‚ãò¾gg‰‚ãO\jlj‚ã­[Üð‰‚ã>-Ìú‰‚ÿPress TopicsBroken Connecting LinkCase Sensor ExplanationClassic Cast PressExtra square ratchet with 4 hole Turret PressLoad Master Caliber SwitchLoad Master Case Feeding ProblemLoad Master Crank Slider BindingLoad Master Index ProblemLoad Master Smooth Operation TipsPress ThreadingPress StrengthPro 1000 Caliber SwitchPro 1000 Warped Carrier "Ä¦Ë ÓÎ ^ Š€‰€6„„˜’ãè.`;€‰‚ãnæz‰‚ãjQù‰‚ã' À°‰‚㚢?H‰€€‚ãì¸m@‰‚ãQ×…‰‚ÿPro 1000 Index ProblemPro 1000 and Rifle LoadingSeating Depth VariationsToggle link(s) brokenTurret Press and Rifle LoadingTurret Press AlignmentTurret Press index problemE±Í Ï 1Ô‰«ÿÿÿÿÏ • Primer brand warningq>ÓÎ • 3 4€}€6„„˜’€€‚ÿPrimer Brand WarningWe recommend only Winchester and CCI primers be used in the Auto Prime because Federal and Remington primers pose a potential danger to the operator. In testÏ • ÓÎ ing, we found that the latter two brands of primers almost always chain detonated if the primer being seated was accidentally set off. A primer going off near your hand can be compared to an M-80 firecracker. When a full tray of primers explode, it does so with enough force to cause injury to the operator and anyone else standing within a ten foot radius. The older Improved priming tool and our current production Ram-Prime only accept one primer at a time, so this hazard did not apply. We take no position as to the quality of primers and mention this only because of the increased danger of chain detonation with some brands only.IÏ Þ 1ŸŒ'¬ÿÿÿÿÞ 4 Primer Feed for Load AllV'• 4 / ,€O€6„„˜’€€‚ÿPrimer Feed for Load AllThe Primer Feed Kit for the Load All is a desireable accessory and allows the user to quickly feed primers to the press without touching them.

Then slide the primer spring over. the long end of the primer pin. Then press the primer trough into the recess in the shellplate carrier. The case sensor is assembled as follows; First place the tension finger on the shellplate carrier casting, with the hooked end around the small pin cast as part of the carrier casting. Then slide the small end of the case sensor bushing into the hole in the case sensor, and insert the case sensor screw through the small end of the case sensor bushing. Place this assembly on top of the tension finger, so the screw threads into the hole in the shellplate carrier casting. Do not overtighten the case sensor screw, the case sensor must be free to pivot on the case sensor bushing.Q ^B EF 15€A†²ÿÿÿÿEF )I Pro 1000 Case Sensor ExplanationäµôE )I / ,€k€6„„˜’€€‚ÿPro 1000 Case Sensor ExplanationThe case sensor on the Pro 1000 prevents the primer pin from retracting down far enough so a primer can slide on top (or is supposed to). If you are getting primers when no case is present, the pin must be retracting even though the case sensor hasn't been tripped. Check to make sure that the straight end of the case sensor spring is in the slot next to the primer pin in the shell plate carrier. Also make sure that the pivot screw for the case sensor is not over tightened, causing the case sensor to bind, and that the case sensor is assembled correctly. The steel bushing should be installed so the small diameter goes through the case sensor.GEF pI 1ÿŒƒ³ÿÿÿÿpI 4€ Pro 1000 Index Problem¸{)I 4€ = H€÷ €6„„˜’€€€€‚ÿPro 1000 Index ProblemIf the Pro-1000 doesn't index correctly there are three common problems. The first correction to try is resetting the zero adjust screw. This is behind a semi-circular cutout along the bottom edge of the shell plate carrier. Always turn the zero adjust screw clockwise to adjust. Turn until you hear the ball bearing drop into the detent of the shell plate. Once that point is achieved, turn the screw 1/2 to 3/4 further. This ensures that the shell plate stops by the ratchet under the carrier instead of the ball bearing snapping into place. If you go too far, keep turning until the next slot in the shell plate advances around to the correct position. If the zero adjustment will not correct the problem, the next step is to replace the hex ratchet. This is the small white plastic gear located inside the shell plate carrier. The shell plate carrier must be removed to install it (there should have been two extras included with the press). You can easily see how the old one comes out in order to determine how the new one goes on.If replacing the hex ratchet does not solve the problem, replace the drive bolt. This is the short steel bolt that holds the shell plate to the shell plate carrier and that the "actuator" rod goes through and up through the middle of the press. Replacements are available for $5 from the factory. If none of these measures corrects the problem, or if you feel uncomfortable doing it yourself, return the press to the factory for repairs.

As you know, the Pro-1000 seats the primer at the bottom of the carrier stroke, when you press the lever all the way up. Apply firm pressure to the lever and watch the top of the press. If you can see the press move as you push on the lever, the bench probably needs to be stiffer.Also look under the shell plate carrier, at the point that it mounts to the ram. The end of the ram is turned down in diameter where the shell plate carrier slides on, and the shell plate carrier should be pushed all the way down over this section. If it isn't, loosen the pinch bolt, slide a block of wood or screwdriver handle between the shell plate and the turret and press the shell plate carrier down onto the ram as far as it will go, then retighten the pinch bolt.O„€ … 1wµÿÿÿÿ… B‰ Primers Every Time on Pro 1000(÷Ë„ B‰ 1 0€ï€6„„˜’€€‚‚ÿPrimers Every Time on Pro 1000If primers feed every time, check the following; The case sensor spring may be installed correctly, but something may still be preventing it from fitting all the way into the slot cut for it in the primer pin pocket. The straight leg of the sensor spring must protrude far enough into the primer pin pocket to fit under the shoulder on the primer pin. This is what holds the primer pin up high enough to prevent a primer from sliding down the trough. Check for powder in the primer pin pocket, or in the slot cut for the sensor spring.Another possibility is something under the primer trough, preventing it from being pressed all the way down into the shell plate carrier casting. Again, look for powder or other foreign objects.Last, look for an over tightened case sensor retaining screw, or a sensor bushing installed upside-down. Either will prevent the case sensor from pivoting correctly, and could cause the case sensor to hold the sensor spring in the "out" position.J… Œ‰ 1”€¶ÿÿÿÿŒ‰ Ä Pro 1000 priming problems÷ ¸ B‰ Ä ? L€q€6„„˜’€€‚€€€‚ÿPro 1000 Priming problemsIf your primers are not seated deep enough you are probably not lifting hard enough on the lever of the press or are trying to put rifle primers in pistol cases. Primers are seated at the bottom of the stroke one has to be certain to lift hard enough on the lever to assure complete primer seating. You will quickly learn to feel if a primer is present and seated to the correct depth. If you don't feel the primer seat correctly STOP raise the carrier a 1/2 inch and remove the shell. Stopping is important because continued processing will dump a powder charge into the case. If no primer is present the powder will pass through the flash hole and into the primer feed.If you are having primer tipping problems it is likely caused by the Zero adjust not being set properly. Failure to set the zero adjust properly will cause the primer to catch the underside of the shell plate and cause tipping.It is essential the at the zero adjust be set properly so that the index mechanism advances the shell plate fully to the next position. Confirm that the index zero is set properly by placing the shell plate carrier at the bottom of the stroke ( carrier down) take your finger and try to rotate the shell plate clockwise (the opposite way it normally turns) there should be no freedom of movement clockwise if there is rotate the zero adjust screw a fraction of a turn clockwise. Make adjustments clockwise only on the adjust screw if you go too far on the screw continue to turn the screw clock wise until the ball detent snaps it into position plus an adŒ‰ Ä B‰ ditional 3/4 of a turn. This additional turn is important.If primers are not feeding at all this is likely caused by gun powder in the trough or under the flange of the primer pin. Clean the primer trough by blowing it out with compressed air. (a soda straw works) clean the powder from the primer pin flange by raising the carrier to the mid stroke position and activating the case sensor with your finger now pull down and rotate the primer pin back and forth with your thumb and fore finger. This will work out any gun powder from under the primer pin flange. After you have cleaned the trough and pin you should test by filling the primer feed and cycling manually. Place the carrier in the mid stroke position and activate the case sensor as if a case is passing. A primer should feed onto the pin. Push up on the pin and remove the live primer. repeat until you are sure it is functioning flawlessly before proceeding.Special note: If you get oil in the primer trough it must be cleaned completely to allow free primer feed. Remove the trough and clean with dry tissue paper or rinse while on the press with electrical contact cleaner.IŒ‰ ØÄ 1 ‚·ÿÿÿÿØÄ ¦Ç Pro 1000 to Turret PressT Ä ,Æ 4 6€A€6„„˜’‚H€€ƒƒƒ‚ÿPro 1000 to Turret PressParts needed to convert the Pro-1000 to the Turret press: The parts list below is for converting to the Turret Press Only.

The carrier is cantilevered from the ram something like a diving board. If you misadjust a rear die to touch the shell plate, you will put thousands of pounds of pressure on the carrier and will bend the casting.The bent casting will distort the hole where the ratchet gear fits rendering the index mechanism non adjustable. The casting must be replaced.The front die (sizing die) can and should be adjusted to stop against the shell plate. By stopping against the shell plate, you will assure the shell plate rises to the same point every time making the most accurate and consistent ammo.HîÇ >Ë 1 ‚¹ÿÿÿÿ>Ë Proper Case Lubrication¹ˆöÊ 1 0€ €6„„˜’€€‚‚ÿProper Case LubricationWhen full length sizing cases in non-carbide dies, it is necessary to properly lubricate the case and the inside of the case neck so that it will not get stuck during resizing into the steel die. With a properly lubed case, our "Reloader" press or Hand Press will easily accomplish proper resizing of even the largest of magnum cases.Using some Lee resizing lubricant, spread a small amount around the case below the shoulder so that there is a thin film. With the small amount of film that remains on your finger, "scrape" some into the inside of the case neck. Even though it's only on one side of the inside case neck, resize the case. Additional cases that have had the same procedure ensures that the decapper / expander inside the sizing die is properly lubricated. This method is far easier and faster than using the many utensils meant to completely coat the inside of the case neck.Although you are not required to lube cases for use in carbide dies, we have found that if you just briefly roll the cases around in a cloth that has a light amount of oil on it, the increased ease of case sizing is very noticeable.>Ë öÊ B>Ë N 1.ã„|ºÿÿÿÿN 1 Replacement Partsã| 1 g œ€ù€6„„˜’€€È EF("www.leeprecision.com",`',1)€‰€€€‚ÿReplacement PartsIf your tool is in warranty, you can return the faulty part to the factory where it will be repaired or replaced at no charge.

This ensures that the sizing die is bumping the shoulder back as well as reducing the diameter of the case. If the shell holder does not contact the base of the die, the diameter of the case is squeezed down, making the case (and distance to the shoulder) longer.If this does not solve the problem, return the sizing die with a couple of fired cases, and we can modify the die to suit.

This die works much like the Powder Through Expanding die that comes in our handgun dies but does not flare the case. The Auto Disk system can be operated two different ways. If using this system on a progressive press such as the Pro 1000 or Load Master, the beaded chain system would be used to reset the measure after a case has been charged. The chain runs from a non-turning portion of the carrier up to the measure which sits on a turret that does not turn. The rotating shell plate on either press moves new cases under the die. The Rifle Charging Die system works with only smaller capacity cases as the Auto Disk does not have the volume to load larger rifle cases.The Universal Charging Die works with the Perfect Powder Measure. This die allows larger cases to be charged. Like the Rifle Charging Die, this die makes no provision for flaring a case mouth. It works with only the Perfect Powder Measure and is meant to work with only fully progressive presses such as the Pro 1000 or the Load Master. This is due to the fact that the measure can only be reset with a beaded chain system. For this system to work, the portion of the carrier that the chain attaches must be stationary as well as the die assembly. T @ ± herefore, operation on a Turret Press would not be feasible because the turret turns as opposed to a shell plate.Q  Ð@ 1öx¾ÿÿÿÿÐ@ uB Rifle Easy X Expander Adjustment¥x@ uB - (€ñ€6„„˜’€€‚ÿRifle Easy X Expander AdjustmentMake sure that when the die is reassembled, the decapper rod is flush with the top of the decapper clamp. If the decapper rod protrudes more than 1/4 or so, the expander (part of the decapper) will act like a valve and "shut off" the neck portion of the die. You will be resizing the inside and the outside of the neck at the same time.DÐ@ ¹B 1€ …¿ÿÿÿÿ¹B |F Run Out ExplanationÃ’uB |F 1 0€%€6„„˜’€€‚ÿRun Out ExplanationThrough testing, we have found that Collet sizing a neck to .001 inch under the intended bullet diameter gives the optimum amount of bullet pull with the least amount of runout. One can order undersized mandrel for a tighter fit on the bullet , but we have found that runout increases as bullet pull increases. There is a fixed amount of spring-back in the case mouth after sizing occurs. If you were to size a case to .005 under bullet diameter, then seat a bullet, then immediately pull that bullet, you would probably find that the case mouth would measure .001 under bullet diameter. The explanation is that the bullet essentially resized the case mouth as it was seated. Because cases are never perfectly uniform in neck wall thickness or hardness, when a bullet is seated in an undersized case mouth, it will push out more on the thin/soft side, resulting in bullet runout.> ¹B ºF 1x†ÀÿÿÿÿºF H SAAMI AcronymO|F H I `€ €6„„˜’€€€€€€€€€€‚ÿSAAMI AcronymSporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute, Inc.555 Danbury RoadWilton, CT 06897Organization documenting various standards for cartridges, pressure and firearms.

One is the way it is measured. If you measure overall length from the tip of the bullet to the base of the case, remember to subtract the variation due to bullet length tolerance. The bullets will vary in length due to manufacturing tolerances (bullets with exposed lead noses are the worst in this regard) and this will add to the overall cartridge length variation. Remember that the bullet seater plug does not (or shouldn't) contact the tip of the bullet when seating, but contacts farther down the ogive. For a more accurate seating depth measurement, take the seater plug out of the bullet seating die, place it on top of the cartridge and measure from the base of the case to the top of the seater plug.Another possible cause for bullet seating depth variation is seating and crimping at the same time when trying to apply a firm crimp to untrimmed cases. Variation in case length also causes variation in the amount of crimp applied. Long cases get a heavier crimp than short ones. When seating and crimping at the same time, the crimp is formed as the bullet is seated into the case. The crimp will form sooner on a long case, and therefore the bullet will not be seated as deeply. The solution is to seat and crimp in a separate step (the Lee Factory Crimp die is good for this) and/or trim cases to a uniform length.The amount of force required to cycle a progressive press varies with the number of cases in the shell plate. When the shell plate is full, it is harder to lower the lever than when there are one or two cases present. This can lead to variation in cartridge overall length because there are different loads placed on the working parts of the press. When the shell plate is full, seating depth will be slightly long, because the load is higher and all of the clearances are takQH d‚ H en up. With the shell plate nearly empty, the load is not great enough to squeeze out these clearances, and the seating depth is short.A potential solution for this on progressive presses is to turn the sizing die in far enough so that the carrier is stopping on the bottom of the die. This removes clearance problems when no sizing but yet seating / crimping is occurring. Take special care not to turn the die in further than to just touch the shell plate and possibly just a tad more. About 1/4th of turn more is all you want to go, turning the sizing die in too far causes other problems.HQH ¬‚ 1Ó†]Âÿÿÿÿ¬‚ 7„ Seating Die Crimp Style‹]d‚ 7„ . *€»€6„„˜’€€‚ÿSeating Die Crimp StyleThere are two crimp shoulders in our bullet seating dies. The first shoulder applies a taper crimp and the second shoulder applies a full roll crimp. The closer the die is adjusted to the shell holder the heavier the crimp will be. This even applies to cases that headspace on the case mouth such as the 9mm or 45 ACP.K¬‚ ‚„ 1‚!€Ãÿÿÿÿ‚„ Ë Shell Holders and Calibersw}7„ Ë ú Âû*€6„„˜’€€€€€€€ €€€‚ÿShell Holders and CalibersOur Turret Press, Reloader Press, Hand Press and Challenger Press all use Universal Shell Holders to hold the case on the ram. The appropriate holder comes with all Lee Dies (except RGB). All major brands of shell holders can be used on Lee pressesThe Lee Auto Prime uses unique shell holders made specifically for it. The numbers on them correspond with those on the Universal Shell holders that are made for use in presses. However, they differ in the sense that the Auto Prime shell holders do not have a bottom lug that is present on the Universal holders. For those that prefer, we offer a set of 11 shellholders for both the Presses and the Auto Prime which fit over 115 different calibers. Part #90197 is the set which includes a green plastic box for the presses and part #90198 is the set for the Auto Prime which comes in a red plastic box. In both sets, shell holoders included are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 19, 7 ,8, 9, 10 & 11. Numbers 6,12,13,14,15,16,17,18 & 20 are not included but fit very few calibers. They are available individually.

If the crimp is too deep use a longer wad. If none are available, you can use a wad that is too short and use a fiber or a cardboard wad from a smaller gauge to take up the excess space. It is usually best to place this directly below the shot. Even a crumbled scrap of paper will do. Sometimes a wad slightly long can be compressed in the wad starting station. Do this by moving the wad starter up 1/4 inch (for 3" shells). Then use a 1/4 inch spacer under the shell. The spacer should have a hole in the center so nothing will touch the primer. A few washers work fine. This will then permit the wad to be seated deeper. Poorly formed crimps can be caused by using the wrong crimp starter, 6 or 8 segment, or starting in the wrong place. Be sure to align exactly on the fold. With some brands of shells a better crimp is formed by starting exactly in the wrong place. That is where the shell previously folded out, recrimp with the fold in.Hy 1 1%ÒÁ Éÿÿÿÿ1  Sizing Jacketed BulletsÝ°é  - (€a€6„„˜’€€‚ÿSizing Jacketed BulletsWhen sizing jacketed bullets, the Lube and Size kit must be used in the Turret press or similar large press.

Other manufacturers make small base dies on the premise that semi-autos require cases sized to the minimum allowable case dimension for reliable feeding, but in reality most semi-autos have chambers cut on the large side for that same purpose. The result is overworked brass and shortened case life. If you have any chambering problems with ammunition that has been sized with a Lee full length sizing die, return the die and a couple fired cases to the factory for free adjustment.

These are made for those who are very concerned about overall case length with their handgun cartridges.

If you are using heavy loads or are a person who demands absolute uniformity, the handgun case length gauge would be applicable for you.Y(Å ‡Ç 1繂‡Ûÿÿÿÿ‡Ç Ê Turret Press 4 Hole Extra Square RatchetŽ_.Ç Ê / ,€¿€6„„˜’€€‚‚ÿExtra Square ratchet supplied with Turret PressOn four hole turret presses, a black square ratchet is tied to one of the posts on the press. This is an extra index ratchet that fits inside of the black clamp that is mounted on the back of the ram of your press. This piece causes the action rod to rotate which in turn rotates your turret.The ratchet that was installed in your press should last around 10,000 loaded rounds. When it does come time to exchange it, you simply place the new one on the action rod in the manner in which the old one comes off. It's a very quick and simple process.G‡Ç \Ê 1“ ·„Üÿÿÿÿ\Ê x Turret Press Alignment ¿Ê x Q p€€6„„˜’€€‚€€€€€€€€‚ÿTurret Press AlignmentIf you are discovering that your cases are hitting the edge of the dies on the upstroke, determining where the problem is occurring is necessary.1. Make sure that the shell holder fits all the way into the ram slot and that there is no dirt or powder to prevent this. Ensure that the outer diameter of the ram is aligned with the outer diameter of the shell holder.2. Determine if the case is rocking back after insertion into the shell holder. This is generally caused by inserting the case near its top instead of at the base. Perspiration or case lube on your fingers can cause the case to rock back after letting it go.3. Rote the shell holder 90 degrees to the the 3 and 9 o'clock position. This removes the variable of the case being able to rock forward or backward. If the case now strikes the 3 or 9 o'clock position of the die, the problem lies in case insertion technique. Be sure to insert the case near it's base.4. If after turning the shell holder to the 3 or 9 o'clock position and the case is still striking the front or rear of the die, the press is incorrectly aligned. While we would be happy to align it for you at no charge, there is a home remedy.Loosen the three screws that hold the turret ring in place. There is clearance in the turret ring holes. It is possible to slightly move\Ê x Ê the ring towards the front (if your cases are hitting the front of the die) or rear (if your cases are hitting the rear of the die). Hold it in this position while tightening the bolts. If you discover that this isn't enough movement to align the ram to the center of a turret hole, it is necessary to use more force.Remove the turret and loosen the bolts to the turret ring again. With the ram at its highest position and using a 3/4 by 3/4" piece of hardwood, place one end to the front of the of the ram through the top of the turret ring. Using a prying action, you are pulling the turret ring to the front of its limit. Tighten the turret ring bolts while holding this pressure. If this technique does not work, send the press to us for alignment at no cost. It would not be in the factory for any more than 48 business hours before being shipped back to you.N\Ê Æ 1^‡ÏÝÿÿÿÿÆ Ö Rifle loading on Turret PressÏx Ö A P€Ÿ €6„„˜’€€€€€€‚ÿRifle loading on Turret PressThe Turret Press is a great press for loading rifle cartridges. If you choose to load cases that are over 2 5/16" in length, the Auto Indexing feature of the Press must be disabled. This can be done in mere seconds by simply taking the actuator rod out of it's clamp from the top of the press. It can be re-assembled in the same time.If your desire is to load very large cases on the Turret Press, the clamp that rotates the actuator rod which is located on the back of the ram must also be removed. This too is a simple process but takes a minute or two. It can be reassembled in the same amount of time.3 & 4hole Auto Indexing explanationThe Auto Index feature of both presses was primarily designed to speed the handgun loading process and allows the press in experienced hands to load 250 handgun rounds per hour. If your desire is to load larger rifle cartridges, we recommend the purchase of the four hole press over the three hole. This is because the four hole auto indexing feature can be quickly removed and re-installed with no ill effect to the timing. With three hole auto indexing, the clamp that holds the indexing rod must be "tweaked" to achieve proper timing.DÆ  1qÞÿÿÿÿ õ Auto Index UpgradesÛ¢Ö õ 9 @€E€6„„˜’€€€€‚ÿAuto Index, 3 hole Turret PressA Turret Press that came without Auto Indexing can be upgraded to one that does. The upgrade to a three hole auto indexing press costs $30.00 and includes a new ram which is necessary. It also includes the actuator rod and clamps that hold the ratchets that move the actuator. The kit part number is 90579.Auto Index, 4 hole Turret PressThe upgrade kit is $20 (catalog #90933), and includes a four hole turret, turret ring and indexer mechanism. The four hole turret ring is different than the three hole, so three hole turrets will not work in the four hole turret ring, and vise versa. In order to make room for lock rings the die circle had to be enlarged on the four hole turret, and the turret center line offset slightly.If your press was not equipped with the auto index feature, you will need to order a new ram, part #TA2269 ($7.00) if you wish to install the auto index.L A 1eÏY ßÿÿÿÿA Z Turret Press Caliber Switchèõ Z 1 0€Ñ€6„„˜’€€‚‚ÿTurret Press Caliber SwitchTo switch calibers on the Turret press, all that is needed is the appropriate set of dies. The shell holder needed comes with Lee dies (except our RGB series). Changing the primer seating tool consists of removing the primer arm and exchanging it for the appropriate size. The press includes both large and small primer seating tools.While not required, it is suggested that a new turret be purchased so that the dies only need to be adjusted once.PA ª 1<q€àÿÿÿÿª oB Flipped primers in Turret Press¹ˆZ oB 1 0€€6„„˜’€€‚ÿFlipped primers in Turret PressPrª oB Z imer tipping or flipping is usually caused by a burr or nick in the slot of the ram where the primer arm and primer cup pass. This burr catches the primer cup and compresses the spring and when it suddenly snaps free, it causes the primer to tip or flip over.You will find the burr at the point where the 1/4 " wide primer arm slot on the ram meets with the shell holder slot. Remove this burr with a file. It is easy to get at with the turret removed.Another possibility is machining left on the inner diameter of the shell holder. With a small round file, you may smooth this area out if necessary.Kª ºB 1ÂY 4†áÿÿÿÿºB 1I Turret press index problemw4oB 1I C T€i €6„„˜’€€‚€€€€‚ÿTurret Press Index ProblemThree Hole The most common cause for the Three hole Turret press to fail to index is an over tight clamp screw. This collapses the clamp (the clamp is the two die cast parts that fit around the end of the ram) so that the outside diameter of the hex ratchet drags on the inside diameter of the clamp. The fix is to loosen the clamp screw until the clamp halves are just together. Attempt to index the press which will probably fail at this point, tighten the clamp slightly about 1/8 turn and try again. The idea is to sneak up on this from the loose side as opposed to try and loosen to the proper point.Four HoleFour hole Turret presses that have index problems are handled differently. Determine if the turret hole is not coming far enough around to snap into position or if it going too far after fitting into position. If the turret is not coming far enough around, remove the turret and secure the 1/4" action rod with a 1/4" wrench. With a pair of pliers, turn the nut on the top of the action rod very slightly counter-clockwise. Put the turret back and try it. Repeat this step until the turret snaps into position correctly. If your turret is going too far around, follow the same steps except that the nut on the top of the action rod would be moved very slightly clockwise. Further adjustments will not be necessary and the rod can be repeatedly removed and placed back into the clamp with no ill effect.With both style presses, lubricate the outside diameter of the Turret with 30 wt. motor oil, or something similar.IºB zI 1‡€E‡âÿÿÿÿzI ¸J Turret Press to Pro 1000>1I ¸J - (€#€6„„˜’€€‚ÿTurret Press to Pro 1000You can convert the Turret press to the Pro-1000, but it isn't very cost-effective.

The case mouth adapter is the brass bushing with straight sides. The other two have a step or a change in outside diameter. The case mouth adapter is installed with the deeper chamfer facing up. For most pistol cartridges, use the longer of the two stepped bushings, with the smaller outside diameter facing down. When using the die with rifle cartridges, you need to pause for a second or two at the top of the stroke (lever down, carrier up) to allow for the powder to flow from the hopper into the case.S"K N 1] E‡äÿÿÿÿN ªƒ Unlisted powders in Load All chartœa¯M ªƒ ; D€Ã €6„„˜’€€‚‚ÿUnlisted powders in Load All chartThere are many new powders on the market that are not yet listed on the bushing chart of the Load All. Using these directions, one can determine the proper bushing to use for these newer powders.It is first necessary to establish a base line. This is done by dropping the powder of your choice in any bushing and weighing the charge. Divide the test bushing number by the weight in grains that was dropped frN ªƒ ¯M om it. This gives you the MVD (Measured Volume Density) for the new powder.Then, multiply the MVD number times the desired charge for that powder. The result is the bushing number you should use. All bushings have molded numbers. Be sure to use the leading decimal in your calculation. Since the result may not come out perfectly, use the next smaller bushing size. Always confirm the charge before loading when calculating the capacity.Below is the math formula for this calculation.Test bushing number------------------------------- = MVDWeight of that chargeMVD x Desired charge of new powder = Correct bushing size.The MVD number is not to be confused with the VMD numbers commonly used in many of our powder measuring tools. Do not use a VMD (Volume Measure Density) number that you find in any of our literature for the purposes of this specific calculation as it would create a dangerous condition.GN ñƒ 1׺‰aåÿÿÿÿñƒ … Unloadable Shell Sizesaªƒ … / ,€Ã€6„„˜’€€‚ÿUnloadable Shell SizesWhile the Load All is adjustable from the standard 2 3/4" setting for shot shells to 3", it will not adjust far enough to load 3 1/2" (or 2 1/2") shells.The reason is that the die set is not deep enough to reach the base of the loader with a shell that tall in the die set.

This can be used to calculate the dipper, disk cavity or powder measure setting required to obtain a desired weight of powder.Example:If a powder has a VMD of .1064, and the desired charge weight is 4 grains, 4 x .1064 = .4256, or .43 cc'sThis would translate to the .3cc dipper, (because the next larger one is beyond.43 ccs) the .43cc disk cavity, and a .43cc setting on the Perfect powder measure.We attempt to keep a current list of newer powders and their VMDs on our instructions page on the website at: http://www.leeprecision.com/instruct/index.htmlDetermine a VMD on your ownUsing any setting on your powder measure (preferably a whole number), drop a charge of the powder you wish to determine the VMD for.

Resize and deprime the spent case2. Prime the spent case3. Charge the case4. Seat and crimp (if desired) a new bullet.We have three aggressively priced kits that contain everything you need to get started. One is the LEE Anniversary Kit, another is the LEE Deluxe Turret Pressl Kit. With either kit, only dies are extra. We highly recommend Lee Dies as they are the only ones that include a shell holder (except RGB) necessary for most presses to use the dies. Lee dies also include load data and a powder dipper that is appropriate for most loads on the data sheet. The third option is the Classic Lee Loader which is available in limited calibers and requires only a mallet to use.If loading rifle cases, we recommend the purchase of the appropriate case length gauge to use in conjunction with the cutter and lock stud that comes with the LEE Anniversary and Deluxe Turret Pressl Kit. In combination, this tool ensures that cases don't get too long to cause potential pressure problems.There are many more options and we would be happy to send you a free catalog.

Unfortunately, the smallest bushing offered for the loader is a "95" which is too large for some of these loads.If it is necessary or desirable to load with these powders, you can take a larger bushing size and fill it with epoxy. Once hardened, you can drill a pilot hole through the middle of the epoxy. With the weighed amount in a dipper or spoon, keep enlarging the hole until the powder volume fits into the hole and is very close to even with the top of the bushing. This custom made bushing is now good for that particular load only and should be marked as such. It is important to remember that the hole needs to be drilled completely through the bushing from top to bottom so that the powder can drop out the bottom during the loading sequence.FȲ 1x±*ïÿÿÿÿ² ä Trajectory Calculator2l ä . *€ €6„„˜’€€‚ÿTrajectory CalculatorThe Trajectory calculator in Shooter is meant to provide the user with a reasonable table of rise and drop of a particular load combination. Wind drift is not included as it is very difficult to give a reasonable expectation of flight behavior when wind speed can not only fluctuate, but be very different at the muzzle and target and the entire distance between. It can also be argued that the amount would not be as significant as other variables such as those caused by the shooter.A² % 1Æ&€ðÿÿÿÿ% y@Wrinkled BulletsHä y@/ ,€3€6„„˜’€€‚ÿWrinkled BulletsWrinkled bullets, or bullets with dull edges on the base or lube grooves is usually caused by the mold blocks not being hot enough or that oil or a lubricant has gotten into the bullet cavity. Fill your melting pot right to the top with lead, when the lead is molten, dip the corner of the mold (the aluminum part) into the lead for at least 30 seconds. A good indicator of mold temperature is the puddle that forms on top of the sprue cutter as the mold fills. If this puddle solidifies as you fill the mold, the lead inside is doing the same thing, resulting in wrinkled bullets. It should stay molten for 3 to 5 seconds after the mold fills and you stop pouri% y@ä ng. Also make sure that the mold cavities are clean (we use Coleman lantern fuel as a solvent), and smoked.C% ¼@1X*ÿÿÿÿñÿÿÿÿ¼@ÑDZip Trim Explainedäy@ÑD1 0€É€6„„˜’€€‚ÿZip Trim ExplainedEssentially, this tool is a mini-lathe. Using the shell holder that comes with the appropriate case length gauge, a deprimed case is mounted to this unit in the same way they are mounted to the lock stud that comes with the cutter.With three pulls of the pull-string, you can trim the case and chamfer the inside and outside of the case neck. What some consider to be a normally tedious process is reduced to mere seconds. Some choose to use steel wool and polish the case with an additional pull or two.For even greater ease, you may purchase our Universal Three Jaw Chuck which takes the place of the individual shell holders. The chuck mounts on the Zip Trim in the same way that the shell holders do, but this unit holds all cases from the 25 ACP to the 416 Rigby. Three "jaws" come out from the unit to center the case and then tightening the chuck onto the Zip Trim secures the case to the unit. Simply loosen the chuck about 1/2 turn to release the case.1¼@E1UÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿòÿÿÿÿE&E$ÑD&E" €€€ÿ1Eÿÿÿÿ1ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿóÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿúÈArialCourierMs Sans SerifMs SerifSymbolTimes New Romanÿÿÿÿÿÿ !
