Just wanted to share my experience with the Lee Loader

Lee Loader 223 Rem - Lee Precision

I just got it in .223 to do handloads to find the best combo for my rem. 700. This is one of the best products I have used. I got it for $30 on ebay and love this thing. If anyone wants to get into light loading try this kit out. I am weighing individual powder charges on a beam scale with a trickler and it takes me around 1-2 minutes to load a round. Good way to relax and extend your shooting hobby.

I'm quite sorry to hear that. I've tried the Lee Classic Loaders, myself, and they're a pure gateway drug. It wasn't long before I shot a thumbprint-sized group with .223 rounds I had pounded out of one of those that I got a real press, started casting boolits, turning necks and weighing brass, and it just goes downhill from there. I don't think there's any cure or treatment that can help you now.

Im sure I will eventually upgrade to a press and the rest of the goods, I have a dillon square deal B set up for .45's I want to get a conversion for 9mm. I don't have the space as of right now to set up another press so that is the other reason the lee loader was a great fit for me. As of right now I am kind of happy doing it all the slow way. It was a great way to spend time quietly.

I think is great for carrying into the woods if you have a large caliber and limited space. I always felt a bit uneasy about hammering down a primer though.. LOL!

I de-prime all the cases and then use one of the little primer pocket cleaning tools. So far all have seater pretty easily and no kabooms.

Now, having abused a few sets years ago, only time I ever had a primer kaboom was when there was any debris in the relief for the primer. Which I think twice was little shavings from the crimped pockets that found their way in there. Make sure it's clean and you should be fine.

You may want to try the Lee breech lock hand press. works like a charm for me

keep in mind that if you are using the Lee hand tools with the mallet - it does not full length size the brass which means that if you are re-using your own brass you are fine but if you are reloading brass fired in another rifle it may or may not chamber in yours.
