Lee classic reloader

[Joe Williams]

Joe,

Have you used a Lee Classic kit in.45 acp? I've heard some say it's difficult/requires considerable effort to resize the 45 cases.

No particular difficulties with the Lee Classic Loader. Personally, I think the 9mm is more difficult to resize with the hand press than .45 ACP. With the Classic Loader, you just whale on it with a mallet, no matter the caliber.

A decent rubber mallet (i used a deadblow full of shot from harbor freight), a very, very solid surface and a little case lube makes resizing any straight or tapered wall case a breeze. You can't hold the cartridge in one hand and rap it with a mallet in the other like you can a bottleneck rifle case, but the warning of "considerable" force is a little overboard.
