I got my first Lee Loader nearly 20 years ago and I still use them. I have the kits for 22-250, 243, 7mm Mag, 30-30, 308 and 30-06. I got into them when I was younger and with moving around working I couldn't set up a dedicated place to properly reload but desperately wanted to. I found them so handy for turning out lower volumes of accurate ammunition that I have stuck with them. I even have the whole dipper kit, but I only use the dippers to get close i then trickle in the rest of the charge on a beam scale. They really work great, I am surprised that more people don't use them.
