Stress reliever is exactly right! I'm a reloader and I love putting on a background movie or music and just go to town with my press. I get so focused on on my progress that I forget all about my daily troubles. It can be very therapeutic.
I bought one in 16 gauge to do a limited number of hunting loads. I was surprised at how good the shells came out. Best $50 I've spent on reloading equipment.
I am a long time shooter but I am just starting to get involved with shotguns. Reloading shells makes all the sense in the world and certainly looks fairly easy. Thanks for a great demonstration.
@@LibertyMarksmanUSA Yes sir, I'm wondering what the heck I was thinking all these years. I've heard that it's not uncommon for people to begin enjoying shotguns as they get older. I find skeet/trap very interesting and reloading shells will help save some money while I'm missing all those clays, lol. Thanks again and God Bless.
Thank you, I ordered 1 for $ 71 on Amazon sight last night, I love to find some partridge to shoot in Seattle :) I bought a beautiful black van too now
I bought one of these about 10 years ago and it is still going strong. The only thing that i do is lube the handle once in awhile. I have loaded thousands of rounds. I love this loader. I can load a box of 25 in about 15 minutes. This is a great starter loader.
Vic VicIrish well it all depends on how much you want to spend. I bought my LEE load all 2 fir $40 new and that was 10 years ago. I enjoy reloading. Yes I want to reload fairly quickly but I also find it very relaxing. I put on my music and Just reload until I don’t want to anymore. I usually have an idea of how many boxes I want to get done. Also it’s very hard to make a mistake with the LEE. Not sure about the MEC. I hope this helps.
@@vicirish74 I just started about a month ago with the mec jr. They look fairly similar, but the mec is all metal and you have to buy the different size bushings and charge bars, which can get pricy. The only red flag I see in this video is that it seems to be spilling powder, so the bushing doesn’t seem to be sealing well. If Lee offers a remedy, then I don’t see how you can beat this for $50.
Thanks for the video. I recently got a new shotgun and was thinking of reloading (I reload my rifles and pistols ) I din’t wan to sink a lot of money into it to start with . This settles it. I’m getting the Lee. Thanks again
Thanks for telling the truth of the ups and downs of reloading on this press. All reloading equipment has it's ups and downs. For the money and reliability, lee reloading equipment is the best way to get your money's worth. All ammo that I have reloaded on lee reloading equipment is top notch. Any inferior ammo that I reloaded, was my fault , not the equipment.
WHOA! That's slicker than snail snot. Just ordered this for the 20 with a 12 conversion and supplies. A friend has been doing this for several years and steered me real good.
@@davidcolon7540 LEE sells the conversion kit for the LOAD ALL ll. Midwayusa search for 'Lee Load-All 2 Shotshell Press Conversion Kit;. About 22 bucks.

Hello from Montana!!!! I want to thank you for making this video!!! I never reloaded shotgun shells before and now with the way things are going crazy I am forced to reload some buckshot rounds!!! LOL..!!! (I have 500 rounds of 00 Buckshot but I want #4 in 3 inch) I have called over 50 online ammo supply stores and no one has #4 buckshot 12 gauge 3 inch with 41 pellets.. I want to load some 3 inch #4 buckshot with 41 pellets..I will buy this press and manually put the buckshot and buffer in each shell. and then finish loading it. I want to thank you for showing me the basics for bird shot and now I will load about 500 rounds of buckshot in 3 inch with the 41 pellets. I have my own business taking people shooting guns and on adventures here in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, so... If you are ever in Montana give me a call and I will take you on a free scenic adventure for having this video for me to figure out exactly what I wanted and needed to buy for a press. All you have to do is click on any video of mine and I have a link in every video to my website and you can easily get a hold of me there. Thank you again for everything, you made it super easy what press to buy...MTJOA P.S...The funny comment about Ted Nugent on this post is Ted Nugent and my friend are good friends and he comes here to Montana hunting and would stay at his house...He would pick him up in his 1973 Ford High Boy at the airport...lol.
Been loading 45 acp on the Lee single stage, just ordered this one mainly because I hate the price of game loads. Casting my own 45, this should be fun to come up with different size shape lead shot. Great starter video
Hey gentlemen I appreciate this review I recently just bought this type of press and I am new to the reloading seen it and I absolutely love your guises video thank you very much
If your loading std. 100 rd for $22 bucks. You can hit that price. Where you really save is the heavy loads at $14+ a box. They still cost about the same ($6buck a box) just a bit more lead. The Lee's look cheap there are cheap, but they just keep going. I have never wore one out.
I used one of these for years in my early and poorer years. For young people it offers the best price per shell just needs some patience as it is the slowest of single stage reloaders. There were spot on though 8-10x less investment in other single stage presses...
Got two of them. Simple and ingenious design. If you need to do volume or really heavy duty you need a different machine. But its perfectly fine for most low volume shotgunners.
great video I was looking at some different ones on loading for my 410 this is the first one I could understand thank you.. I take it that this will do all gauges but you do not say.
Love this video yall explain a whole lot more on this subject im about to start doing this know one on here would talk to me and explain it better like u guys did yall were the only ones that did close up shots on what was really going on thank u !!!
I love my Lee Load-All II! I bought one in 12ga. Every year at the Dove Opener I would collect a big bag of empty hulls and throw them away. It didn't make sense. Then ammo got harder to find. I bit the bullet and bought a Load-All II for $59 It's very easy to use and it makes great rounds! They shoot way better than any of the cheap WalMart bulk ammo I used to use. You can reload rounds pretty darn quick once you get a rhythm going. I later bought a 20ga conversion for it off of Amazon for around $20. Easy to switch calibers! It works great too! Be careful of the 2 screws that hold down the front plate over the charge bar. It is easy to strip them. I highly recommend the Lee Load-All II! Great bang for the buck!
Dose this unit make slugs instead of using the switch to load the rounds but instead insert a slug instead on the wade and then crimp... I like shooting 00 buck and slugs and getting into my hunting game for deer this season in nov so was gonna pick me up a shotgun of my own instead of using my buddys 12g he has a crap load of shells me and him have shot and when I was talking about why he had so many and kept them he talked about how his grandfather reloads them so he would toss me a few 100 empty shells but I gotta order my own primers and wades and powder. Also dose this load 00 rounds because those look like bird shot from the size of the load. Thanks
Had the earlier one in the 1970's and bolted it to the front mudguard of our old Landrover for when hunting in North Australia's monsoon wet season. Ducks and geese by the tens of thousands...Good gear and highly recommended.......
@@LibertyMarksmanUSA there was a magazine called shotgun news which now I think is incorporated into firearms news. The center 6 or 8 pages had a couple of hundred different types of loads for 12gauge. It always made me want to reload shotgun. The possibilities really are endless!
So if I plan to fire a reload from the same shotgun it was originally fired from would I need to use that sizing ring? Or is the hill already fire formed?
I have a weird question but why not follow the first with another shell so at the end you have all the stations filled? Seems like it would be more efficient
thanks for the video, Great 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?
I have several of these and I have never broken one . I have never seen a broken one on u tube. The flex is engineered into the loader. Mr Lee talks about all the primer tools he has seen broken because people used too much force. 2 3/4 12 gague shells are not all the exact same length so you need flex for the seating process. Be safe and have a great new year.
i received my Lee Load All 2 today. In going over the parts to assemble and so on I came across a black plastic piece that looks like a bushing and has the number 12 on it and the throat is serrated or cut. The instructions give no clue what this is for at all. Do you know?
@@LibertyMarksmanUSA I finally found a 12g version at Cabelas for $70 but now I'm having difficulty finding the supplies I want to use....haha. It'll be fun to test different loads...Making my own ammo has never even crossed my mind until I watched this, thanks for making this video!

It is mean for shot pellets up to #2. Buckshot is too big to feed through the hopper. You can hand load the buckshot in each shell after priming, charging and pressing in a wad.
i had mecs before i got a load all and all i use is single stage..i wont touch a progressive ...the load all actually makes better crimps on gum club hulls and AA and the crimp starter is easier on the hulls...the mec feels nicer but really for half the cost you cant beat the lee....the older metal base ones are the ones to get....no need for a primer feeder on single stage

Everything is hard to find right now
Can i do 3 in shells with this is there an adjustment how about 3.5 in?
You should be able to. It handles a wide range of shell lengths.
Looks very therapeutic (or Zen like). Those look like 2 3/4", will this press handle other hull sizes? Any issues with high brass?
It will do up to 3" as far as high brass goes it will do it but feels
like you might break it. It is vary relaxing as long as your not in a
rush.
great video😍😍
Thank you
08:18 thank you 😊
Can you load the "new" mini shells with this unit?
No its for 2 3/4" shells or 3" shells.
Can you load oobuck and slugs with this?
Not like you load shot but you can put it in your self and use the machine for powder and to seal the shell....
What about buck shots and slugs?
I believe you can, but we never have.
I am confused what would I use for a Stoeger M3000
You will have to get a reloading book.

I'm not sure email us a picture libertymarksman@gmail.com
It's an extra wad guide...
So birdshot only? Can it do buck-shot, slugs?
Well you cannot "feed" slugs through the hopper, but yes, if you load the payload by yourself and maybe your own roll crimper.
How do I get it to stop dropping powder and shot simultaneously
You should take a look at the sector bar. Make sure it is fully engaged from one side or the other
what size wads are you guys using?
All the machines online are either 20 or 16 gauge. Is it because all the 12 gauge units are sold out or something?
More than likely, there is a crazy run on equipment right now.

Paul harrell for the win
Can you load Turkey loads, Buck shot and slugs?
It is mean for shot pellets up to #2. Buckshot is too big to feed through the hopper. You can hand load the buckshot in each shell after priming, charging and pressing in a wad.
can it fill 30 grams of gunpowder?
Good question, I'm not sure
It would be great if offered in 410 and 28ga.
Agreed
What brand of wads are u using?
Claybuster
Sure made that look easy!
Where do you get this for $50 the one I seen was 133
You could before all the madness.
How big is this machine?
Maybe a 18" tall and 10" or so wide
How many times can a shell be reused?
We have done 4 or 5 without a problem, I'm sure you can get more then that. We just have not.
Can you load buckshot shells with this?
Can you use 5 shot bb size with this press
How too load dragons fire loads
No idea, unfortunately!
Can you load 1 3/4" minishells with it?
I don't know, unfortunately have not tried.
@@LibertyMarksmanUSA I shoot them in my 1880s T Barker double barrel 12 gauge
Is that shell a three inc or a 2 2/4 shell
2 3/4 shell
Is there a specific type of wad y’all recommend?
We use the Winchester AA style.
The best way to empty it is to use it. I wish I had one right now.
where do i get parts?
So nice! Press cost and cost per round average?
I'd like to know where you can buy one for $50
Agreed! Been in the market for one
They're out of stock everywhere so it's just the waiting game
i had mecs before i got a load all and all i use is single stage..i wont touch a progressive ...the load all actually makes better crimps on gum club hulls and AA and the crimp starter is easier on the hulls...the mec feels nicer but really for half the cost you cant beat the lee....the older metal base ones are the ones to get....no need for a primer feeder on single stage
GOOD
why not use as a progressive press?
Most people who buy this is due to price or they like it one step at a time.
Looks like it’s spilling powder. Still a pretty good job, especially for a $50 loader 👍
Can't touch it for the price, but it is far from perfect.
