Just curious what cartridges they produced loaders for over the years.

Good topic, as they currently produce loaders for fewer cartridges than previously...
I personally have Lee loaders in 30-06, .308, 30-30, .243, .222, and .38/.357...
of those, I know they do not make a loader for the .222 currently...

I have found more by searching Google and Ebay:
6.5x55
22 Hornet
7.62x39
270
303 British
Did they make a 260?

I have a target model for 7 mm magnum.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

They did shotgun too. I loaded 12 g. I also had them in 357 and 39-06.

If you love someone set them free
If they come back no one else liked them
Set them free again

I've got one in 20 gauge. Scott - I'm curious about that 39-06.

I've got one in .222 that used to belong to my Dad.
I reloaded hundreds of 'em with it in high school.

39-06, I thought everyone knew about that. It is really a 39-06 Scott. Made by taking a rusted out old Springfield and squashing 35 cal bullets to .390" where they will not almost fit tight in that rusted out old barrel. Sometimes two smacks with a hammer will be required to reach full diameter. One miss strike with my typing finger and I have to go and make this stuff up to save myself.

i have 25-06; 30-06; and 22-250. 25-06 is first metallic loader I ever had and got me into my current addiction. Sometimes I load 15 or 20 rounds with them just to return to a simpler time in life. Have yet to be thoroughly disgusted with results.
