    Help! I need instruction for Lee Loader (12 guage)

    OK, so I decided to try my hand at some limited 12 guage reloading and wanted to be able to do it in black powder since the option for shoots sounded different.

    I got it in the mail today from flee bay and no instructions!!
    I've tried Lee, they don't offer coppes of the "destructions" (as myu wife calls them) them anymore. No look with a 15 miutes search using google.

    I think I can figure it out but some reasuring factory sugestions would be nice for a FNG

    Well, if you're close to me, I could help you figure it out. My first press was a Lee Loader Jr. I will ask you to seek experienced help when it comes to loading BP. I don't have any personal experiece doing it. I either load my SxS with BP from the front or load modern powders and components in breach loaders. Whatever you do don't mix and match components between smokeless powder and BP without knowing what you're doing!

      Thanks for the advice.
      I was hoping the instructions might shed some light on the BP issues also.
      Nothing like a little reasuring factory info to help calm the nerves when you are banging something with a hammer to load it

          Unfortunately no, that's not the loader I have. The Lee loader for shotguns is much like the versions tehy have for handgun and rifle ammo. Comes in a small box and you can carry it around with you kinda like a Lyman 310 tool.

          Thanks for the try though. I was really hoping somebody would have a link to some reloading site where they posted the little handout that should have come with mine.

            Never mind.
            I bought 3 more sets (now own 12 in 2 3/4 and 3 in, 410 and 20 guage).
            If anybody else ever has this problem and finds this thread, PM me and I will ground mail you a copy
