Reloading .410 Shotgun Shells With The Lee Loader

A step by step demonstration of the Lee Loader tool set for reloading the 3" .410 shotgun shell. The steps in reloading a shell are: de-priming; priming; charging with powder, seating a wad, filling with shot, and finally crimping. The tool may be used to form either a roll crimp or fold crimp.

Nice demonstration, if i see one of these i will have to buy it, i think we just paid $16 for a box of 25. Its almost too expensive to shoot with.

@jsnsk101 I've seen three inch .410 shells for as much as $18.99 a box! Ouch.

@314299 You were right on with that price, i found the receipt :(

@jsnsk101 It might even pay to buy a used MEC 600 loader, they are a lot faster to use!

WOW...god bless the mec 650....

@GARYTHELEADMAKER Yeah, pretty slow going compared to a progressive, in fact pretty show compared to pretty much any single stage machine! Of course these sold for very low prices compared to any reloading machine, and were aimed at the casual shooter who did not reload large quantities of shells.

@314299 A buddy of mine has reload equipment for reloading 303. Just got to get supplies. :-)

@FantomShooter I have a friend who really is expert on shotgun ballistics, he could talk for hours on the subject, but regrettably he is not here on YouTube.

If you plan to shoot your Lee Enfield much the only economical way to go is to reload your own ammo, I probably shoot ten boxes of reloads for every factory box of 303 I shoot.

@314299 yvw :-) I am hoping to come across a video one day talking about different kinds of shotgun ammo...ballistics.....types...­.uses..... effective distance.... I am thinking about getting a shotgun as my primary gun and just want to be informed. My current rifle is a #4 Mk1 Enfield......ammo is nasty expensive tho.....
