LEE Loader 45 Colt

[@jw-sigp2258]

Lee loader is awesome way to load 45 colt by campfire like a real cowboy. Nice video Marc.

[@marcthomas2482]

Thanks 👍

[@mikewhite2aadvocacy172]

Thats really neat, I like it a lot. It would take a while to load a lot of them, but it looks really fun to do and with that I can see myself becoming a reloader. Thanks for showing that as I had no idea something like that even existed

[@JG-xt9io]

Very cool , been wanting to do some reloading. Nice demonstration , enjoyed it

[@edwardpetty5401]

Oh yes. I used to use the Lee Loader way back when I first started to reload.

[@marcthomas2482]

I'm finding it works pretty darn well! Thanks, Edward!

[@unitedstatesirie7431]

​@@marcthomas2482 I bought the LEE dipper set also. Now I don't need to use my electronic weight scale as much. The LEE dipper set is real good !

[@firearmsaddictloveguns]

Marc, this is very nostalgic for me. I started loading with Lee Loaders. I think they’re very handy.

[@marcthomas2482]

Thanks, FA! These are super cool and I can see a few more in my future. That's awesome you started with these. I'm hearing that from quite a few folks!

[@papasplace2]

Everything you need except a hammer... just the basics and they work well.

Marc #5 is one of my favorite powders for 45 colt. Blue dot is next and finally N340 is Lilys for her new vaquero.Thanks for sharing!

[@marcthomas2482]

Thanks, Josey! I'm trying a few powders and bullets to see what works for me.

[@HamiltonOutdoors]

Awesome Marc The first reloader I ever owned was one of those in 38/357 I was probably about 15 or 16 years old

[@marcthomas2482]

Cool! I'll probably get one for 357 just for the sake of having it. Great way to get started!

[@RichB804]

Thanks Marc. Being new I did not realize something like this was available. Seems like this is great for a beginner.

[@marcthomas2482]

Thanks! Got another video to upload today with another option.

[@SpringerOwl]

This is an excellent tutorial. I really appreciate it.

[@marcthomas2482]

Thank you!

[@billdye3530]

Great information to get started as long as you don't go tapping around on Mom's good kitchen table. And it's inexpensive. Thanks. 👍🙏

[@marcthomas2482]

Sounds like experience talking...😅

[@billdye3530]

​@@marcthomas2482If you leave a mark then Momma will leave 2 marks. Usually in the shape of the hammer you used. 😂 🔨🤕 And don't even think about drilling holes for a vise. Save your money & buy You a table.

Nice Marc Stay Safe Stay 2A Strong 🇺🇸

[@marcthomas2482]

Thanks!

[@viejo2a]

Yay! I’ve been waiting for this one! I’ve got several sets for handgun calibers. Very nice video! 🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸

[@marcthomas2482]

Thanks, Walter! I can see adding a few more myself!

[@jh5869]

Most excellent! I have one of those for the greatest cartridge in the history of mankind!

[@marcthomas2482]

Thanks, Jamie! I'm thinking I need to collect a few!

Good Job Brother 👍😎🇺🇸

A great demo Marc...... great for when you go off the grid...

Pretty cool thanks for sharing

[@oddballschtuff]

Super cool!

Thanks!

Cave man style reloading or the sht fan and own the run. Myself i recommend a lee hand press got thst one for under 50 on sale die set 30 or less from lee used.

[@WilliamCChapin]

Bang up job, Marc! 🙂

[@marcthomas2482]

Thanks! You made me want to get one!

[@WilliamCChapin]

@@marcthomas2482 Dooh! I'm a bad influence - but not as bad as the guys that pressure you to get a high-dollar progressive press. 🙃

[@WilliamCChapin]

​@@marcthomas2482 Ohh...by the way...I have 9 pounds of PB!

[@marcthomas2482]

@@WilliamCChapin why am I not surprised...😅

[@jesseboutdoors]

Now that’s primativ 👍

[@marcthomas2482]

Yeah. 😅 Feels a little sketchy banging on a live primer with a mallet! Works great, though!

[@NicklisFamilyAdventures]

Good deal looks good

[@marcthomas2482]

Thanks!

[@Ishoot4thriLLs]

Well made video. I'll be using the .7cc dipper, that comes with the kit, with Accurate #2 powder with 200 grain lead bullets as shown in the load data that comes with the kit. Does it matter where the case neck crimps on the lead bullet as long as the overall length is correct?

[@marcthomas2482]

You will probably need to check them in your gun. Revolver or rifle? Revolver will likely be good at OAL but rifle may need seated a little deeper. Be careful not too much or you will run into pressure issues. In the crimp groove is desirable, but doesn't always work out.

[@lukemorgan3368]

What kind of velocity are you getting out of this? I’d like to pick up this loader and make some range rounds for practice. I got a pair of old model vaqueros in .45 colt I’d like to load for. Is this loader capable of hunting and or a more capable defense load? Or would I need to look into a more modern loader for that?

[@marcthomas2482]

Sorry, have not shot them over chrono yet. If you have load data and a scale, this loader will load the same as any other press.

[@mikewhite2aadvocacy172]

I've been doing some research and looking around YT and I came across this, a Lee Hand Press and was wondering if it does the same thing as this, if so, which is better, faster and why? Thanks Marc

[@marcthomas2482]

I have one of those and plan to do a video on it. They are really good and a little bit faster. Hopefully, post in a day or two.

[@owenlewis8944]

Hi Marc, could you explain why you didn’t want to use the dipper in the kit? And the difference please?

[@marcthomas2482]

Hi! The dipper in the kit was matched to the load data card that came in the kit. The powders listed are hard to find or were discontinued. I used the data that came with my 45Colt LEE die set (which also lists the dippers of other sizes that work with different powders). Totally safe, just mixing and matching tools and load data. Hope that makes sense and helps.

[@walksfletcher]

👍😁🦶🪶

[@gunnwild1]

Will that work for 45-70 also?

[@marcthomas2482]

No, but there are LEE loaders for 45/70. The main tube is caliber specific (length and internal shape). A kit would be great to feed your single shot!

[@gunnwild1]

@@marcthomas2482 I was just curious because my laser bore sighter is for both 45 Long Colt and 45-70 GVMT, so I thought the diameters would be the same
