Can you do a detailed video on how to put them together for 12ga, and what else is needed besides the expansion plugs? Thanks! I just my plugs delivered today from eBay. I ordered them immediately after watching the video when it posted on 09.19.2024
I've always kept LEE loadall's and Loadall II's on hand for pre crimping new hulls, but I've always favored a Mec sizemaster or even a jr for putting together a tighter shell. I ran across an inline Bair about 30- 35 year ago that did an excellent job of putting shells together into tightly rolled ammunition. Today I don't load the same way I did all those years though and don't even have a Mec anymore. I use a Hornady 366 auto for production which does a very good job and has the same dies as the old inline Bair. For assembling small amounts of high quality ammo I use an RCBS Rockchucker including for beautiful tapering. I mainly use a load all for pre crimp on new hulls only or for dropping and wad seating. I also use roll crimp tools for many things and all brass hulls are done on SS metallic presses. I prefer an accurate wad gauge and a cam action final crimp die like I use on my Rockchucker or Hornady for precision and consistency. Although many claim the final crimp is all that's required with modern wads chrono-graphing says otherwise. It really does not matter much I guess to most hunters or target shooters... I can use one of my old LEE loaders and roll ammo good enough to fill the larder so it's more of an OCD thing than anything else I guess.
Thanks, Tyler. Great Video I absolutely love my Lee Load all 2 in 12ga. I have been using the Gaep and the other tool from eBay. The upgrade on the Lee Press really makes it shine as a fully functional press. Note: I do not use the hopper I use digital scale for shot and a powder throw and balance beamscale with trickler for powder.
