So happy I decided to pick one of these up. Way faster than my single stage rifle press. Your explanation of how to use it was clear and concise and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us!
This is by far one of the best videos on how to operate this press. The tips provided in this video will help you tremendously and successfully reloading on this press.
This is the most Clear Video tutorial on the Lee Load All I have seen. I have the lee load all also, and I use it a lot for Crimping Hand loads and Buckshot.
Have been considering this press for a while, have loaded metallic cartridges, New to shot-shell reloading.. Lots of Great useful information regarding this press... Thanks Great Job!!
I bought this press about 6 months ago..works great.. like you said . Good starter press, simple..got lucky and was able to buy 500 Winchester 209 shot-shell primers.. claybuster wads and 7.5 lead shot from Midway USA...I'm in business. Proper Crimping took some practice .thanks again for all the help
My load all is the alum based one and its old. I load nothing but Buck Shot and it works great for me. Your video should help anyone looking to reload make up their mind on what press to buy. Great demo.
I Owen the LEE load all 2 also. I love the thing. I have loaded thousands of rounds with it. I do take it apart about every 1000 rounds and clean and lube up the functioning parts. I can load a box of 25 in about 15 minutes. I really enjoy reloading with it.
Lee products work great, cheaper materials than other presses but they always work and last and most importantly they actually help you save money while reloading
I have the old alum load all and it loads all my BS and slugs perfect. I got rid of my Ponsness because the Lee is so much simpler. You can't get into shot shell reloading any cheaper than this and get quality ammo. Great Video.
You can easily load 3/4 oz loads on the loadall. Unlike Lee dippers which are calibrated in cc's the shotshell bushings are calibrated in ci's so if you were using 6 shot you would need .217 ci bushing. Take a .198 powder bushing and cut the tab off and slide it into a 1 oz bushing it will stay without glue. Weigh 3/4 oz of shot and file or dremel out the .198 bushing inside the shot bushing until the 3/4 oz if shot fits flush into it. Voila you have a 3/4 oz bushing. Works great for me.
I live near the Winchester shotgun range. They sell once fired cheap. I went to another local range and they gave me once fired hulls that I was willing to pick up.
Just an additional note: As you demonstrated,the 12 gauge Load-All has the 8 point crimp starter in the front and the 6point crimp starter in the back. However, the other gauges have it reversed - 6 point in front, 8 point in back. I labeled my 20 gauge Load-All so I can keep it straight. 😁
Have this press, a Mec 600, Mec Grabber, and a couple of Ponsness. For single stage loading, this unit is the way to go. I can't remember the last time I used my MEC 600, this is so much easier to use, faster as well. Great explanation.
That was concise and well explained. You made an excellent deal on your machine. Only three or four years ago, I said that it barely even made sense to bother buying a shotshell reloading setup when boxes of 25 shells of 12 gauge cost about $4.50. Those days are behind us now, so I'm probably going to get a Load All II, but only after this ridiculous primer shortage ends.
@@murphyfirearmstraining3630 You already invested in the equipment and components, so a smart man will put all that to new uses. Also, there's something to be said about the confidence and satisfaction factors for going out in the field when you rolled your own ammo. I have taken all four of my deer with ammo that I personally assembled (three with my Marlin .45 Colt lever carbine and one with my Ruger .30-06), and I like knowing exactly what I'm using to bring down such a beautiful animal cleanly and humanely.
You said this press is limited by shot chart availability but with a scale you can make a ratio/proportion formula to chart any powder. This is a great beginner press that I still use after years for reloading slugs.
@@murphyfirearmstraining3630 ya ya there's a chart available online and if I was a little more savvy on my phone is send ya the link but it's a Lee chart that has conversions for about 10 common powders.
@sluggou812beotch I created one as well and have shared with anyone who wants it. Definitely a good machine if you have more data than what they give you.
Great video, I use mine for black powder loads for my Belgium Damascus double sold to me as a wallhanger. Instead of using plastic wads i use fiber wads and cards and love shooting this ole girl.
@@678friedbed look at website 'buffaloarms.com' search for 'circle fly .025 over shot shotgun wad bag of 500'....a card is just another name for a thin, hard, compressed paper wad .025 thousands inch thick.
I remember when I was a kid back in the 80s my neighbor was a hunter and I used to go to his garage and watch him do this all the time he had a lot of antlers in his garage
Your not the only one with that issue regarding using the 8 point crimp on new hull. I did the same buying a 100 bulk pack of new and preprimed Fiocchi hulls and the 8 point would just sink in. The 6 point works best to but I also notice it crimps a little deep and not flush as well with these new hulls.
I joined a trapshooting club and bought a reloading machine before I bought my first shotgun,(the club laughed at me because of this). I have shot tens of thousands of rounds over the last 20 years and have never bought a box of shells!!! I even make my own #8 lead shot pellets, In 2019 I was making a box at $4.50 per box because of making the shot and I buy 5000 primers in a case, $4.50 when AA shells were 10 bucks, Making shells is fun, I also wasn't effected when ammo was hard to find.
Thanks for this. I'm used to the Mec reloaders but they cost about 600.00. I was wondering how good these worked and your video showed that. Good video. Thanks again.
I'm glad I got one of these presses. I only got my first shotgun a couple years ago and I got the press around the same time, and most of the shells I have fired I made myself :D About a month ago I got 50 more pounds of lead shot so I can start loading again, now I'm running out of hulls that I have the components to load lol
$23 per 100.... Oh man, those were the days! Great video. I have yet to buy one but it's on the list. I have seen 3d printed bushings. So there may be a 3/4 ounce option out there somewhere.
Very informative. I’ve been recently looking into shotgun reloading and for the price this seems like something you can’t really beat, definitely gonna have to get one and try it
My buddy uses Winchester AA hulls, Longshot powder and 209 primers, I don't know what wads, we shot trap last week and his loads were completely dusting the clays with #8 shot 12 and 20 gauge with improved cylinder and modified chokes out to 40 yards. Fun day.
Been using Load Load All for over 30 years, 12 & 20 gauge, still going strong. Paid $15 for the 20 and $19 for the 12 as I bought it a few years after the 20. I wish Lee would make a Load All in 410! Had to buy a MEC for the 410 and cost more than 5 times what a Load All costs.
I have the mec 600 but I love watching videos. I love making my own skeet shells. There's just something about puting it together that adds a spice to busting clays 😊 4:38
@murphyfirearmstraining3630 I missed out buying shot before the pandemic. Now I'm hoping to make it someday if I can make a shot dripper. I'm not that good with stuff though so I can only hope
Got one of these for Christmas and the manual leaves something to be desired. Your video cleared it up. Thanks for this. Now, if someone can explain all the parts that it came with, the manual does not show how to put the primer together. It leaves out what the sizer ring is for entirely. Got lots of Lee reloading gear and I think they really fell down on the manual on this one. Machine is good, though.
Welcome to the new world. A $200 3D printer will make all the shot and powder bushings you could want. I've seen files for them on Thingiverse, and the 3D CAD required to design any size you could ask for is just a few calculator keypresses an a few hours learning the software away. Outside dimensions will be fixed to match the Lee originals -- you make the inside diameter to your needs. You can even put the measurement on the front tab, though that's a little more advanced CAD operation. Why, yes, I do have an Ender 3 sitting right behind me as I type...
I've found that the 8 point crimp on the load all 2 sometimes comes open now it could just be the hulls but I find it funny that it's always the 8 point I have yet to see the 6 point do this it might just be the hulls I just wanted to put it out if there's something I'm doing or if it's the 8 point crimp or what have you keep your eyes open and always use your situational awareness folks
I've noticed the 110 powder bushing is way under with charge. The included chart indicates 14.3gr but it consistently throws 13.2. So I kept experimenting with the bushings to get the right charge because I'm too lazy to measure every shell
I've heard of people filling in a shot bushing they're not using (or picking up a broken Load-All and sacrificing the duplicate) with epoxy or similar, and then steadily drilling it out with increasing bit sizes until it throws the charge they like. Or using duct tape or similar to line the inside of the bushing until they get what they want. BTW if you have this thing in 16 or 20 gauge, you need to be careful; I think the six and eight point crimp starter positions are REVERSED when compared to the 12 gauge. Read your instructions!!!
Just ordered a new 12 ga load all 2 today. Thanks for the great instructions. Can you reload a 5/8 oz shot load if you weigh the charges and don't use the press?
Yes, you can. Or you can make a custom shot bushing by ordering a spare set and modify them. I have a video on that if you search my channel. Either way works, but I would rather use the bushing than measure each charge manually.
@@murphyfirearmstraining3630 I just tried the new press out. I am waiting for a couple bags of shot so I can load more. I loaded 15 boxes of 410's with my MEC, and used all but 11 oz of shot, so I used that to load (3) 12 ga hulls on the new Loadall 2. Compared to the MEC, this press is a delight to load with. First tries I got perfect crimps. Thanks for the great instruction. I am just starting to load shotshells. I started loading metallics in the 70s. I shoot the shotguns more than the 22 and other rifles so now I am wondering why it took me this long to smart up.
I have not shot for 50 years, and learned to shoot and load when I was a kid. I just bought a shotgun and joined the local trap & skeet club. I am paying $9.90 for a box of 25 No. 8 shells at the local gun store. I was thinking of loading my own, but so far the cost does not make sense to me. Your cost appears to be $10.50 for 25 shells, plus the press, and time. Am I missing something? I was expecting to at lease save some money if I reloaded my own.
This is the pricing from my local sports mans where house and online ....am in commiefornia where a box of bird shot is almost $15 a box and #6 and #8 steel shot is $25-40 a box of $25 ...so 10.50 a box to reload is cheap to me .
I'm having trouble with the #8 shot with the 1 1/8 oz bushing. Seems to be throwing a little too much shot to where the crimp isn't sitting flat. Have to weigh both my shot and powder
Using fiocchi clear 2 3/4 , 12GW hulls 1 1/18 oz, WST powder 20.5 gr, #8 shot. Getting some powder migration after the wad goes down, but not after it's loaded and crimped
Are you following the recipe from a reloading manual? Usually if your crimp is caving in, you need a nitro card or an overshot card. If your crimp is too high and not staying crimped, it is because your wad is not compatible with the load (your column height is too high). Is your wad rated for 1 1/8 oz, and are you using the right hull (some hulls have thicker bases)?
Nice video, I was wondering if one can convert the older load all press to the new load all 2 version or is it impossible to do that also can you take a 2 3/4 inch press and change it t a 3 inch loading machine.
I don't know about the first part, never played with the original load all. The second part is yes- I have a video on how to make it a 3 inch loader. It's pretty simple.
I've only ever loaded pistol cartridges. My turret press is mounted on the Lee breach plate system. What I'm curious about is whether or not the Lee Load-all will also fit on that system?
Public service announcement: Please be careful when reloading hulls that have a separate plastic, cardboard or Fiber base wad. After a couple of reloads, they tend to come loose and could become a bore obstruction in your Shotgun. Ask me how I know!
@@kentuckybastard816 Very funny. It happened to me twice with once fired federal fiber base wad hulls after the second reload. After firing, I found the base wad halfway up the hull. Now I Ioad ‘em once and toss ‘em. Just giving you the benefit of my experience.
thank you for the Video instructions. I had a couple of these and traded off the 1 I used most. I had a spare and set it up for Unique powder. I used a scale and chose a bushing. but it has been a few years and I lost the spare powder bushings. *can anyone tell me where I can get replacement bushings?
Hello, great job explaining this process !! I’m just starting reloading and I got a Lee Load All 2. Can you tell me which powder bushing to use to get 81.1 grains of powder ? The smallest bushing that came with it is 95. I bought Hodgdon TITE Wad powder before I hit this snag and hope I can use it. Thanks !!
I don't recall what load data I used in this video, but I always use load data from the "advantages manual " published by ballistic products incorporated.
great movie, I have a question, can this machine be elaborate cal. 12/76 with black powder? and whether it is possible to regulate the amount of gunpowder for the cartridge
Yes, there are powder bushings in the machine that regulate how much powder. You pick your bushings based on the load. I don't recommend it for black powder, plastic hulls weren't meant for that. Use brass hulls for that. I have. A video of loading brass hulls, check it out.
@@murphyfirearmstraining3630 or maybe you will tell us what is better to use for the 12/76 black powder shotgun what kind of scales to use plastic or brass and what length is the best to use?
Absolutely. First 2 stations deprime and re-prime. Center station will drop powder and seat wad. Then you could put whatever projectile you want. Just know your pressures and load according to known data.
This has helped me a great deal but I noticed that I don't have that red plastic cover piece for the primer hole. I've been putting the primer on the top of the spring/pin setup and doing it like that. Is that plastic piece supposed to be included?
Yes you can but you won’t be able to fold crimp it on this machine. Cut the hull down a fraction just below the damaged fold crimp and use a roll crimper.
For shot hulls it depends on the crimp you use and quality of the hulls. If you use the same crimp each time and have quality hulls you'll get as few as 4 loadings from once fired hulls, as many as 10 loadings. Unfortunately the same hulls from the same box some will crack at 4-5 loads, some will crack at 7-8. Cracking usually occurs at the crimp where it folds, sometimes it runs down the hulls length ways.
Get in the habit of inspecting you fired hulls at the crimp especially when they start getting ratty looking at the place where it folds; not sure, throw it away.
Be careful when reloading hulls with fiber, plastic, or cardboard base walls. After a couple of reloads you may find the base wad in your shotgun’s barrel.
Will this press load TSS shot also in other words does the shot weight lets say one ounce the same for lead vs TSS? Is the measurement the same for each species of shot?
It will load any shot, but the 1 oz bushing will not throw an ounce. It is a volume measure that is calibrated for lead. So for example steel shot is lighter bt volume and would throw lower than what the bushing says. You would definitely need to weigh your charges with a scale to see what it is throwing. I hope that helps.
The biggest I have loaded is #4 birdshot and that is 0.13 diameter. It binds a little with that, but it works. BB is 0.18 diameter- it would probably work, but expect the shot bushing to catch and need a good nudge to slide. It might bind up and not slide at all though. Never tried it, so I don't know for sure. Sorry, wish I could be more helpful.
This was probably the best explanation I've seen out of dozens of the Lee load all 12 guage videos. Thanks brother.

I’ve learned how to make/refill used shotgun shells today. Not sure what to do with this info, but im glad i learned it.

You can easily load 3/4 oz loads on the loadall. Unlike Lee dippers which are calibrated in cc's the shotshell bushings are calibrated in ci's so if you were using 6 shot you would need .217 ci bushing. Take a .198 powder bushing and cut the tab off and slide it into a 1 oz bushing it will stay without glue. Weigh 3/4 oz of shot and file or dremel out the .198 bushing inside the shot bushing until the 3/4 oz if shot fits flush into it. Voila you have a 3/4 oz bushing. Works great for me.
Appreciate the advice. My review is of the stock machine, but that is helpful for folks who want 3/4 oz loads. Thanks
Just use a good scotch tape and add layers inside the bushing to get light throws.
That was a damn good idea.
We reloaders love tinkering.

I've noticed the 110 powder bushing is way under with charge. The included chart indicates 14.3gr but it consistently throws 13.2. So I kept experimenting with the bushings to get the right charge because I'm too lazy to measure every shell
Some powders are off from volumetric calculations, which powder was it with?
@@murphyfirearmstraining3630alliant greendot. I'm loading 2.75" 7/8 7.5 20 gauge
I've heard of people filling in a shot bushing they're not using (or picking up a broken Load-All and sacrificing the duplicate) with epoxy or similar, and then steadily drilling it out with increasing bit sizes until it throws the charge they like. Or using duct tape or similar to line the inside of the bushing until they get what they want.
BTW if you have this thing in 16 or 20 gauge, you need to be careful; I think the six and eight point crimp starter positions are REVERSED when compared to the 12 gauge. Read your instructions!!!
Excellent video! Thank you!
Best shotshell reloading video on TH-cam!
Yes! I’ve been looking for a video on this press and nobody actually went through the steps to show you how to do it
nice precise video mate
Just ordered a new 12 ga load all 2 today. Thanks for the great instructions. Can you reload a 5/8 oz shot load if you weigh the charges and don't use the press?
Yes, you can. Or you can make a custom shot bushing by ordering a spare set and modify them. I have a video on that if you search my channel. Either way works, but I would rather use the bushing than measure each charge manually.
@@murphyfirearmstraining3630 I just tried the new press out. I am waiting for a couple bags of shot so I can load more. I loaded 15 boxes of 410's with my MEC, and used all but 11 oz of shot, so I used that to load (3) 12 ga hulls on the new Loadall 2. Compared to the MEC, this press is a delight to load with. First tries I got perfect crimps. Thanks for the great instruction. I am just starting to load shotshells. I started loading metallics in the 70s. I shoot the shotguns more than the 22 and other rifles so now I am wondering why it took me this long to smart up.
Just bought one ....with wads,powder,primers and shot it only costs $210 to reload 500 shells ....not bad I'd say
If you don't mind me asking, where are you resourcing your materials from?
I have not shot for 50 years, and learned to shoot and load when I was a kid. I just bought a shotgun and joined the local trap & skeet club. I am paying $9.90 for a box of 25 No. 8 shells at the local gun store. I was thinking of loading my own, but so far the cost does not make sense to me. Your cost appears to be $10.50 for 25 shells, plus the press, and time. Am I missing something? I was expecting to at lease save some money if I reloaded my own.
This is the pricing from my local sports mans where house and online ....am in commiefornia where a box of bird shot is almost $15 a box and #6 and #8 steel shot is $25-40 a box of $25 ...so 10.50 a box to reload is cheap to me .
And good luck finding primers in commiefornia
Easiest way to seat in the primer is to slide the hull onto the press tube that pushes and seats the primer.
very good Video, Learned something
This video will get 1M+ view soon...
Yes
Ive never seen shotgun shell reloading i had heard about it but I didn’t think it was this awesome
Good beginner reloader ..
I use to pick up hulls at the trap range free.. and inspect them.
Places that have turkey shoots also would give away if asked I bet
Great video very informative.
Where do you get your pre-primed new hulls?
Ballistic products incorporated
I'm having trouble with the #8 shot with the 1 1/8 oz bushing. Seems to be throwing a little too much shot to where the crimp isn't sitting flat. Have to weigh both my shot and powder
Using fiocchi clear 2 3/4 , 12GW hulls 1 1/18 oz, WST powder 20.5 gr, #8 shot. Getting some powder migration after the wad goes down, but not after it's loaded and crimped
Are you following the recipe from a reloading manual? Usually if your crimp is caving in, you need a nitro card or an overshot card. If your crimp is too high and not staying crimped, it is because your wad is not compatible with the load (your column height is too high). Is your wad rated for 1 1/8 oz, and are you using the right hull (some hulls have thicker bases)?
Nice video, I was wondering if one can convert the older load all press to the new load all 2 version or is it impossible to do that also can you take a 2 3/4 inch press and change it t a 3 inch loading machine.
I don't know about the first part, never played with the original load all.
The second part is yes- I have a video on how to make it a 3 inch loader. It's pretty simple.
Very Instructive Thank you!
How do you do Slugs?
You use the center station for just powder and then roll crimp. See my video on buckshot and it's pretty much the same as that
I've only ever loaded pistol cartridges. My turret press is mounted on the Lee breach plate system. What I'm curious about is whether or not the Lee Load-all will also fit on that system?
I don't believe so, but I have not tried it. Perhaps with some work you could adapt it, but I don't think it would fit out of the box.
Love it !! Thanks for making this video
Public service announcement:
Please be careful when reloading hulls that have a separate plastic, cardboard or Fiber base wad. After a couple of reloads, they tend to come loose and could become a bore obstruction in your Shotgun. Ask me how I know!
How you know?
@@kentuckybastard816 Very funny. It happened to me twice with once fired federal fiber base wad hulls after the second reload.
After firing, I found the base wad halfway up the hull. Now I Ioad ‘em once and toss ‘em.
Just giving you the benefit of my experience.
Thanks for the safety advice 👍🏻
thank you for the Video instructions.
I had a couple of these and traded off the 1 I used most.
I had a spare and set it up for Unique powder. I used a scale and chose a bushing.
but it has been a few years and I lost the spare powder bushings.
*can anyone tell me where I can get replacement bushings?
Midwayusa.com has them.
Hello, great job explaining this process !!
I’m just starting reloading and I got a Lee Load All 2.
Can you tell me which powder bushing to use to get 81.1 grains of powder ? The smallest bushing that came with it is 95. I bought Hodgdon TITE Wad powder before I hit this snag and hope I can use it.
Thanks !!
This video has a file I created that helps you get the right bushing
th-cam.com/video/7qjeR-lzz9I/w-d-xo.html
Let me know if that helps.
Good job. I have one. I didn't use yet
Very good tutorial. Thank you for sharing. New sub.
What recipe do you use i don’t know if that’s the proper terminology
I don't recall what load data I used in this video, but I always use load data from the "advantages manual " published by ballistic products incorporated.
Murphy Firearms Training where can I get that or is it online I have the loader but don’t know what else I need
great movie, I have a question, can this machine be elaborate cal. 12/76 with black powder? and whether it is possible to regulate the amount of gunpowder for the cartridge
Yes, there are powder bushings in the machine that regulate how much powder. You pick your bushings based on the load. I don't recommend it for black powder, plastic hulls weren't meant for that. Use brass hulls for that. I have. A video of loading brass hulls, check it out.
@@murphyfirearmstraining3630 or maybe you will tell us what is better to use for the 12/76 black powder shotgun what kind of scales to use plastic or brass and what length is the best to use?
@@irokromkrom6534 th-cam.com/video/CqJdx_Y9SNg/w-d-xo.html
This video will hopefully answer some of your questions.
What is the size of the wrench for the screws on the powder plate?
1/4 inch
@@murphyfirearmstraining3630 Thanks!!!!
So that's how you reload shells cool!
Can I use this press to deprive, prime, powder, wad then fill will something besides shot? Like custom rounds?
Absolutely.
First 2 stations deprime and re-prime. Center station will drop powder and seat wad. Then you could put whatever projectile you want. Just know your pressures and load according to known data.
This has helped me a great deal but I noticed that I don't have that red plastic cover piece for the primer hole. I've been putting the primer on the top of the spring/pin setup and doing it like that. Is that plastic piece supposed to be included?
Yes sir, it should have come with the press. If you contact Lee, they should sell it to you for very little or may send you one for free.
Thank you, great video
If you find a split crimp can you cut it down and make a mini shell out of it.?
Not with this machine. But theoretically yes.
Yes you can but you won’t be able to fold crimp it on this machine.
Cut the hull down a fraction just below the damaged fold crimp and use a roll crimper.
How many times can you reload the same cartridge?
For shot hulls it depends on the crimp you use and quality of the hulls. If you use the same crimp each time and have quality hulls you'll get as few as 4 loadings from once fired hulls, as many as 10 loadings. Unfortunately the same hulls from the same box some will crack at 4-5 loads, some will crack at 7-8. Cracking usually occurs at the crimp where it folds, sometimes it runs down the hulls length ways.
Get in the habit of inspecting you fired hulls at the crimp especially when they start getting ratty looking at the place where it folds; not sure, throw it away.
@@murphyfirearmstraining3630 thank you
@@petediaz9310 thank you
Be careful when reloading hulls with fiber, plastic, or cardboard base walls. After a couple of reloads you may find the base wad in
your shotgun’s barrel.
Well done video! Can you substitute BB's instead of lead shot?
Yes, as long as you are following a published recipe. The book I have (from ballistic products inc) has a section for tungsten, steel, etc.
What he said, but be sure to use appropriate wads for those, or you'll run the risk of badly scarring up your shotgun's bore.
Will this press load TSS shot also in other words does the shot weight lets say one ounce the same for lead vs TSS? Is the measurement the same for each species of shot?
It will load any shot, but the 1 oz bushing will not throw an ounce. It is a volume measure that is calibrated for lead. So for example steel shot is lighter bt volume and would throw lower than what the bushing says. You would definitely need to weigh your charges with a scale to see what it is throwing. I hope that helps.
Question could this load double BB, thanks for the video it was awesome
The biggest I have loaded is #4 birdshot and that is 0.13 diameter. It binds a little with that, but it works.
BB is 0.18 diameter- it would probably work, but expect the shot bushing to catch and need a good nudge to slide.
It might bind up and not slide at all though. Never tried it, so I don't know for sure. Sorry, wish I could be more helpful.
Does any have any input ow where I can find out recipes and load data for Winchester shotshell wst ball powder
I can confirm there are NO loads in ballistic products advantages manual. Sorry
Eric: if you could find an older Winchester manual the info you need is in there and sometimes it’s on the double AA wad bags.
