Lee Precision90258 Classic Loader, .357 Magnum

I almost never write reviews on here but I put off buying one of these for a long time and i wish i had bought this sooner. It is an excelent product with very straight forward and easy to understand instructions. Now if i can just get one in .45 ACP and .223 i will be set.

This has earned a special place in my pack when I go camping.It's simple to load up a handful of cartridges and dial in the build for comfort and accuracy.It's also cool to be able to handload for such relatively low cost.I love the fact that I can load a .38 SPC and then switch up to .357 with only a minor tweak!UPDATE: I've had this kit for two full days now, and I gotta say I love it!I've cranked out something in the neighborhood of 30+ rounds in my spare time.I measure the powder charges down to the hundreth of a grain with a precision scale and the finished cartridge length to the thousandth of an inch with a caliper, otherwise I could probably crank out close to 2-300 in a day.Now to test my loads at the range!EDIT 2: I highly recommend buying a separate priming tool for seating primers in your cartridges, or a really good set of hearing protection. While seating primers, I had one detonate as I was hammering the brass onto it. My ears are still ringing.Otherwise, this is a great kit that will have a guaranteed place in my go bag when my Rockchucker Supreme shows up.

Good quality and durable. Works just perfect! I love Lee sets for reloading.

everything looks perfect but only problem is no reloading supplies available to try it out - i have used one in the past and it works quite well, slow but you get to take time with each round to make it perfect

This kit is EXPENSIVE, but you can make bullets abit slowly. Works as intended and at a lot less than those big expensive machines. Fun to use if you have the cartridges, powder, and bullets.

Loading .357 with a board on my lap and a stick to beat rounds together while sitting around the campsite is priceless. Great for starting reloading and learning the basics on a penny budget. Good instructions and solid components. The .7 cc powder measure throws a consistent 6.1 grains of Unique...right in the middle of the safe range for jacketed or cast 140s. Not too much punch but perky enough to keep bullets getting lodged in your barrel. Adding the full compliment of measures and an precise scale each to see what I'm really getting with each scoop. If you don't know how to play it safe, stick with the chart Lee gives you. There is too much risk pushing the load limits too near the low or high end.

I love using my Lee Loader kit!This, a soft-faced hammer, and a big block of wood are literally the only tools you need to start reloading.The instructions were good and clear, and there are also a lot of youtube videos detailing and demonstrating the use of these kits.It's nowhere near as fast as a full-blown automatic turret press, but it's nowhere near the cost either. I'm not looking to arm a militia with this thing, just looking for a relaxing afternoon activity, and a way to make Plinking with my .357 cheaper.With .357 retailing at around $.50/pop these days, this kit lets you shoot for about $.23/round, and have a nice, relaxing time doing it besides.

I have a Dillon RL550. I've had it since the late 80's. I haven't used it for the last 5 years. Don't get me wrong, Dillon presses are AMAZING machines. This offers me multiple things, I test my own consistency. If you're wanting consistent, extremely accurate shots, this will help. I know, to the grain, the weight of each powder charge I put in with this system. My GP100 is now considerably more accurate with the rounds I load with this product.
