Lee .410 reloader ,still available ?

[hawkeye]

Anyone know if the Lee .410 reloader kit is available in UK ,If so can you order from any RFD, use to see them now and again in auctions but not seen one for years now ,would buy new if you still can ?
Also which is the Lead melting ladle to go for , I see Henry Krank does the electric Lee for £58 & post , is it worth having or should I stick to a container on portable gas ring outdoors ?

I looked at those but don't know if they any good , don't know anyone that has used them , prob. more robust in the metal version but then more shipping , I emailed them see if they will ship to UK anyway .

75 quid from clay and game

You can bring a complete mec in from US bay of e for way less than that IIRC!

How much do they work out from US shipped then , thought shipping would have made it as much as buying in UK ?

Trouble is after just buying the MEC in 28 and a Bowman in 20 I wanted a cheap loader for .410 just to do the odd box of 25 difficult to find loads and use that tub of powder . .

Ahem. Looking on US bay of e the postage is fairly reasonable (£20-30) but prices are much, much stronger than I remembered. Looks like you'd pick one up for about £90 posted, but then customs etc. on top. New ones are £150 plus postage even from the US


Looks like my (slightly incomplete, lightly seized) pair for £45 off here last year might have been quite the bargain. I genuinely had no idea they were that expensive in the states.

I would just hand load the 410 if only doing 25 a time

I've started a thread about how you can put together a kit with change from a tenner.

the crimp on the mec for 410 is ok but not the best it looks like a 50p shape
I think the roll turn over is the best in a 410
