    Lee Loader 308 Help

    I have already loaded 100 rounds and am very happy with how simple and small it is to use. However the sizing body has become very loose and twists on the threading without any effort, literally. Everything I have seen suggests its supposed to stay where it is. Suggestions? My house is very small and I don't have room to upgrade to a table stage...please don't suggest to this I understand it would be better, but for me right now I very literally have NO ROOM.

    As far as getting something better, I loaded ammo with mine that consistently shot .5 MOA. I did find using a separate funnel was best when powder charging to avoid powder spilling outside the neck of the case.

    On your problem, did you mean the threaded portion will uncrew easily? As I remember it, it screws down into the die body and bottoms out. You should be able to use some blue loctite to hold it.

      One word, C-CLAMPS! Two 5" clamps with my RCBS Partner Press that comes in a 10"x12"x3" box. You must really be hurting for space.

        I have been using a portable loading bench with my RCBS Jr for the past 15 years. I have reloaded everything from 22 Hornet to 45/70 no problem.
