CAUTION
Ammunition reloading can be danger-
ous if done im properly and should not
be attempted by persons not willing and
able to read and fol low instructions ex-
actly. Children should not be permitted
to reload ammunition without strict pa-
rental supervision. Always wear safety
glasses when reloading and shooting.
Ammunition loaded with these tools and
data should only be used in
modern guns in good condi-
tion. We do not accept re-
sponsibility for ammunition
loaded with these tools or
data as we have no control
over the manufacture and
storage of components or the loading
procedure and techniques. Primers and
gun powders, like gasoline and matches,
can be dangerous if improperly handled
or misused.
Guarantee

»
Some brands of primers are slightly larger
than others. If you plan on reloading your
cases many times, you can use the smaller
diameter primers first. After the primer
hole has been enlarged, the large primers
will still hold snugly.
»
Certain combinations of components will
give higher velocities than others. The
amount of difference is generally not
important. However, if you are a purist
and desire the exact amount, consult
the current load data supplied from the
powder manufacturers. There is no better
source than the literature supplied free or
at nominal cost.
»
For a portable set-up, mount your Lee
Load-All II to a piece of plywood or board.
This can be C-clamped to any table, desk
or countertop. Felt glued to the bottom of
the board will keep it from damaging the
surface on which it’s clamped.
»
If reloading shells for the same gun from
which they’re fired, you can eliminate the
use of the full length sizer. This speeds
loading and extends the life of the shell.
»
To insure uniform charges, do not let the
hopper empty more than
1/4
” below the top
of the built-in baffle.
SLUGS
Lee offers a slug
mold that will
produce slugs
that are easily
loaded on your
Load-All II. Best
of all, accuracy is
better than fac-
tory loaded rifled
slugs and you
can use standard trap wads and shells. Slug
molds are complete with handles and load
data.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR 3” SHELLS ONLY
1
Remove screw that holds wad guide to col-
umn. Re-install 1/4” higher.
2
Do not pull down on handle to complete
stop on STATION 4 & 5. Pull down until you
feel some resistance. If in doubt, use too little
pressure and raise handle to see if the crimp
has formed properly. If not, apply a little more
pressure. You will very quickly learn to feel
the correct pressure.
LOADING STEEL SHOT
Steel shot is easily loaded with the Lee Load-
All II. Follow the instructions from the sup-
plier of steel shot. Lee Precision, Inc. has no
load information. Move the wad guide up 1/4.”
Place three or four steel washers under the
case while seating the wad. This is essential to
fully seat the wad. Follow instructions below
for large size shot.
LARGE SIZE SHOT
Shot sizes as large as #2s and BBs (#4 and #2
in 16 and 20 gauge) can be fed through the
hopper, but will stick in the drop tube unless
it is raised to the mouth of the shell. It’s a good
idea when using large size shot to bump the
handle two or three times downward with the
heel of your hand before and after dumping
the shot. This will insure the charge bar fills
and the shot does not stick in the drop tube.
BUCKSHOT
Do not attempt to feed buckshot through
the hopper. Buckshot should be counted and
placed in the shell by hand in layers.

CRIMP PROBLEMS
Bad crimps are almost always due to using
the wrong starter or not having the correct
wad. This is frequently due to incorrect or
outdated information found in reloading
handbooks or literature supplied by component
manufacturers. If you don’t get a good crimp,
check your components and bushings. If they
are correct, change to a suitable length wad.
See the important message below STATION 5
instructions.
LOADS, SHELLS AND PRIMERS
The loads listed on your Lee Charge Table are
the result of many hours of sifting through the
abundance of data. Loads that exhibited uni-
form results with a variety of components were
selected. The only factor that must be consid-
ered for any Lee loads is the type of shell.
Loads for all plastic cases, such as Federal,
Champion II, Remington RXP or Winchester
Compression Formed cases, use less powder
for the same velocity and pressure. Shells
made with a paper base wad, including plastic
or paper case, require slightly more powder—
about 5% more—to give the same velocity. So it
is important to know which type of shell you’re
loading and select the load data from the cor-
rect charge chart.
Primer brand will make a slight difference;
not enough though to concern the average
shooter. Federal primers are the most powerful
and Remington are the lightest. All others are
in between these extremes. All are satisfactory
for use with your Load-All II.
WEIGHING CHARGES
It’s not necessary to check charges with a
scale. However, should you desire to do so, be
certain to take a shell out of the normal loading
sequence to insure the powder is properly
agitated between charges and the press is
subject to the stresses of loading. Otherwise,
your charge will scale on the light side. This
might tempt you to use a larger bushing and
could result in an overcharge. The largest
errors will be caused by powder density
variation and operator technique. As much as
15% total difference from listed charges may be
encountered. This should be on the light side
for safety reasons.
The load data supplied with your tool is only
a partial listing of all that is available. Each
powder manufacturer supplies, at little or no
cost, extensive data for almost any possible
combination of components.You’ll find the
Lee Charge Table adequate for 99% of all your
loading needs. The shot bushings are designed
to dispense the correct weight of #6 shot.
Smaller size shot will give heavier charges and
large size shot will be slightly on the light side.
Exception is made with 1
⅛ oz. bushing. This is
made to give very close charges for 7
1/2 and 8
size shot. This was done for the trapshooter.
TO SUM UP
»
Use only plastic wads
»
Primer type is unimportant for most loads
»
Shells made of one-piece plastic construction,
including the base wad, require less powder.
»
Paper shells or plastic shells with a paper base
wad usually require slightly more powder to give
the same velocity.
