Lee Classic Loader/Lee Hand Press?

[Boehm]

Does anyone here use the Lee Classic Loader or Lee Hand Press for reloading 7.62x54r for your Mosin Nagant?

I own one but haven't used it for 7.62x54r. I do still occasionally use one for 45/70, they work well.

Whack-a Mole? Had one in 7.62x54R, never used it. I did use one in 9mm, it worked, but I got my Dad's RCBS press soon after that, so it went with the Star BM to Rongo, IIRC.

I have a Lee hand press, but it’s only used for reloading 8x50 Lebel cartridges. I’ve built my Dillon XL650 to load my other rifle cartridges. The hand press is easy to use but slow.

I don't use the Lee Loader for 54r, but I own a kit for most of the rifle calibers I own, and I do use it for 30-40 Krag, aka 30 U.S. They work way better than many people give them credit for.

I have a Lee hand press but I haven't used it for 54R yet, but thanks for asking. I'll have to get it out and run a batch of 7.62X54R rounds with it.

Just ran 20 7.62X54R rounds on my lee hand press. After set up it took about 15 -20 minutes using my lee powder dipper. It works really well for the mosin ammo. I have used it to reload some 30-06 Springfield too, and it worked great for them too.
