It happened to me a few times when I loaded with one. <BR/><BR/>I found it more convenient to run it "single stage", doing the same operation on a big batch of shells before moving to the next operation. Get or make a loading block. Mine was a chunk of wood with holes drilled almost through.Sevesteenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15439626386416115766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029032086443584794.post-19285951245660283782008-07-26T23:20:00.000-07:002008-07-26T23:20:00.000-07:00Just make sure you use the correct powder, <B>NO substitutions!</B><BR/><BR/>When I was in the Army, I had a minor Kaboom with a Mini-14 when I was using a Lee Loader. Ran out of powder, and went to the Rod and Gun club on base for more, they were out and I foolishly took a substitute powder that would work in .223s It was my fault for not telling the guy I was using this loader and didn't have a scale, loading manual, etc. I got lucky as hell, I took the magazine out after loading one round.. the blast went out the mag well. I had pieces of brass and the primer embedded in my forearm. <BR/><BR/>That said, I have one for 45-70 and I am planning on getting sets for .357 and .45acp Nice to have, fun to use and they take up a lot less space that a press.Kevin Kunzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03495034446711564393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029032086443584794.post-44584949265242694742008-07-25T20:37:00.000-07:002008-07-25T20:37:00.000-07:00I load .30-06 and .30 Carbine. I only use the Lee Classic loader. It's a deal - I can load about 50 rounds an hour. <BR/><BR/>Highly reccomended!HossIsBosshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01900262889090972993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029032086443584794.post-76296006757167400352008-07-25T15:02:00.000-07:002008-07-25T15:02:00.000-07:00Hmmm...<BR/><BR/>I have been savin' a bunch o' .45 LC brass for a rainy day...The RedBoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15040359576473961331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029032086443584794.post-79162491951314108112008-07-25T09:49:00.000-07:002008-07-25T09:49:00.000-07:00Wow! and I thought my Lee Loadall was slow.

Do they make it for rifle calibers as well?<BR/><BR/>The wife and I both shoot 9mm, so I doubt it'd be worth the effort for that, but for 5.56, it might be worthwhile until we can scratch together the money for a nicer setup.Paul Simerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14277406782786889424noreply@blogger.com
