          The Lee Loader is the basic kit that can introduce any firearms enthusiast to rifle or pistol centerfire ammunition reloading: affordable at less than 60 euro, reasonably accurate, extremely easy to use and surprisingly safe...
          ...although you actually have to use a hammer or similar to pound over the round of ammunition to reload it! Strobl.cz sent us a .45-70 Govt die set to review and test in the field.

          The following is an excerpt of the original article from All4shooters.com.

          The Lee Loader – the “Classic” monicker has been recently added by the company themselves in their website and catalogs – is possibly the most affordable centerfire ammunition reloading system ever devised and is available in many popular calibers for both handguns and rifles.

          It has also been on the market for the last 60 or so years, having been introduced in the early sixties, and used to load millions upon millions of rounds. And as testament to the potential accuracy that can be obtained with the Loader, the Lee website claims that ammo loaded with it helped achieve a long-range shooting world record listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for more than seven years.

          European online retailer Strobl.cz, located in the Czech Republic offers tools for ammo reloading, sport shooting and hunting accessories; and also offers Lee products. Therefore, I ordered a .45-70 Government Lee Loader Kit from them, at a very affordable price of just over 56 euro plus shipping.

          The Lee Loader resizes only the collet of the case, so it is important to note that the spent cases to be reloaded should have been fired in the same gun that we intend to reuse them with.

          Plus, the Lee Loader is indeed not recommended for long guns that normally require full length case resizing, such as semiautos, pump actions and… lever action guns!

          But, the .45-70 case is straight walled and it is possible that it may still work flawlessly with the rifle I wanted to test the kit with, a Marlin M1895 lever action hunting gun – and spoiler alert, in my case and gun, using standard and not exasperated loads, I can attest it works perfectly!

          The Lee Loader Kit from STROBL.CZ contains all the tools needed to load the cartridge – except for a hammer...
