STATION 3 Slip the shell into the wad
guide at STATION 3.
STATION 3a Lower the handle and slide
charge bar to the right. This adds the powder.
STATION 3b Raise handle, insert proper
wad and lower the handle until it stops.
STATION 3c Slide the charge bar to the
left to add the shot. Raise the handle.
STATION 4 Place the shell under the
proper crimp starter. Keep an inward fold of
the shell mouth toward the front for proper
alignment with the segmented starter. De-
press the handle to a full stop. Some shells
may require a two-second pause to set the
plastic.
Note The 8-segment crimp starter is in
the front on the 12 GAUGE only. The other
gauges have the 6-segment starter in the
front. Be sure you select the correct one.
STATION 5 Immediately move the shell
into the shell holder at STATION 5 and com-
plete the crimp. You should have a perfectly
crimped shell with a nice, tapered end.
IMPORTANT A good crimp can only be
obtained if the wad is the correct length.
After the shot is added, there should be
about
⁄ inch of shell above the shot on a
12 gauge; about
⁄  inch for the 20 gauge;
and just slightly more for the 16 gauge. If
the crimp is too deep with a hole in the cen-
ter, use a longer wad. Mashed in crimps or
crushed cases indicate the wad should be
shorter.
BEFORE YOU START
RELOADING
1
Mount your Lee Load All II to a sturdy
bench or table with the three screws
supplied. See
HELPFUL HINTS for por-
table mounting.
Mount press no more than ½” from edge of
bench for handle clearance.
2
Install the primer punch, spring and
primer guide into
STATION 2.
3
Remove two screws holding the
nameplate. Remove charge bar and
install correct shot bushing and
powder bushing as shown on the
charge table. Reassemble, being
careful to not overtighten the screws
.
CAUTION Recheck the bushing against
the load data. Too much shot or powder will
cause dangerous pressures.
4
Slide the charge bar to the left and fill
the shot and powder hoppers. Note the
powder hopper is the smaller one on
the left, above the word
POWDER on the
nameplate
.
5
Sort cases as to brand and type and
discard the defective ones. Because in-
terior length differs between brands and
types, they require different length wads.
It’s best to load one type at a time
.
NOW YOU CAN
BEGIN RELOADING
Your Lee Load-All II is factory set
and requires no adjustment.
STATION 1 Slip the sizing die,
grooved end up, over the shell. Place
the shell in STATION 1 and pull down
the handle. This will full length size and
deprime the shell.
STATION 2 Place a primer in the
priming pocket at STATION 2. Move the
shell onto STATION 2; pull down the
handle. The sizing die will automatically
be pushed off at this station. Remove it
completely from the shell.
