Lee Loadall

[tplumb 0]

Hi all

 

I've seen a Lee Loadall II for £49.99, firstly is the price good & is the product any good?

 

Secondly, can anybody recommend any companys that do mail order components for shotgun cartridges?

 

Thanks a lot

Tony

Hey Tony, I have about 400 Winchester AA trap cases here you can have FOC (just pay the postage).

The Lee Load All is a cheap, cheerfull loader that will load 12, 20, and I believe 16 gauge with the appropriate conversion kit. They usually come in the 12 gauge version out of the box. I've had mine over 20 years and for low volume loading they can't be beaten for the price.

 

As another poster has stated Midway UK do sell them mail order at the right price, but they do sting you on postage cost with a minimum £8.95 the last time I bought from them.

Henry Kranks in Leeds sell the load all mail order but I can't speak for their carriage cost. If you google Henry Kranks you will get their web site with contact details, ask for Ken.

 

As far as components go powder is face to face only, but all other components are best purchased from Clay and Game Clay and game sell other loaders as do Midway but unless you are loading for high volume trap and skeet it simply isn't worth the expense.

Midway is on the pricey side for components and unless you want some thing specialist I would avoid them, they simply take the dollar price and change the dollar sign for a pound sign as do most importers and dealers in the UK creating an instant 75 - 100% markup plus the dreaded vat.

 

Hope this is has been some help to you.

Hi Tony

 

You can buy nitro powders face to face only if you are over eighteen and have a SGC/FAC, you only need an explosives cert for black powder.

 

Black powder aquire and keep tickets are free and if you have a SGC/FAC you can have one for loading black powder cartridges and muzzle loading (loads of fun) you also need a ticket to transport explosives (Known as a POMSTER) which is also free once you get the BP cert to aquire and Keep.

 

If you have a BP cert this entitles you to have upto 15 KG of powder but this would include any nitro powder.

 

I know it's clear as mud! but if you think you may go for BP I would be happy to advise you re: filling in the form ect. and secure storage which is now manditory for propellents and BP
