Reloading becomes a simple process with quality Lee equipment and clear instructions

2. Install a new primer. Picture shows this operation using the NEW Lee Auto-Prime XR, the most popular priming tool ever made.

YOU CAN ALSO INSTALL NEW PRIMERS

ON THE PRESS WITH THE LEVER PRIME SYSTEM

OR ON THE PRESS WITH THE RAM PRIME

3. Add a charge of powder. Lee dies, except RGB, include a powder dipper and extensive load data to tell you what kind of powder to use.
