Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors looking for Lee Classic Loader in .300 Savage

since they are discontinued, they do appear time to time but im unable to locate one. Also interested in a case trimmer, champfer, and primer pocket cleaner. Thanks

I assume you mean .300 Savage, and not .30 Savage. These show up from time to time on eBay. They usually sell for $20-30.

my bad, yes i mean .300 savage

Found my 300 Savage first in an antique store in Montana. $15 I think. Led to me picking up several others including 303 Savage and 250-3000. Still watching for a 22HP, which I heard were made. One or two are rebrands..

bump for leads

somebody must have one stowed away...

Might try a WTB (Want to Buy) in the classifieds forum. This is the collectors forum.. lots of buying, not so much selling.

I messed with a couple of those Lee Loaders back in the 60's. Those early kits required the use of a mallet to drive the case down over the primer in order to seat it. I think it was the occasional primer detonation coming from the kitchen table, not to mention the incessant pounding that finally drove my old man over the edge and caused him to order a Herter's reloading setup.

To each their own. I'll stick with the Lyman 310. Better made and they last longer.

this is to get my feet wet. Ive never reloaded and dont shoot as much as id like, so this is the only way to put this by my finance officer(wife).

for the prices these things are bringing ,you would be better off
spending just a little more and buy a used press and dies.I've tried those little hand loaders.... get a press ,you'll be better off.
