I loaded thousands of shells with mine when I was a kid. For regular hunting, this machine with its "limited load data" is more than enough. An Expensive loader will not help you bag more game. Many times when I'm in a sporting goods store I walk over and look at the reloading equipment just to look at the Lee Precision products. I've noticed in a busy market with many marketing gimmicks, they tend to simplify things, solve problems and make affordable products. Good video.
Lee makes good stuff at an honest price, I agree with you whole heartedly. My only complaint with this loader is if you can't find the powders in their load data. In recent history, that has been a much bigger problem than in the past. Thanks for the support.
@@murphyfirearmstraining3630 Funny you should mention. My nephew is interested in loading shells with my old Lee Load all. Last night I googled the Lee Load data and it looks exactly like the same paper that originally came loader in the the late 70s.
I just started reloading and the powder that was available was longshot, I appreciate you taking the time to do this, I'll have to make or buy filler cards to take up space. Once again thanks, I have this video saved for reference.
I'm just getting into reloading and will be starting off with the Lee Load All 2. Did some loading with a buddy about 40 years ago, but not since. I've been watching a lot of videos looking for tips and tricks. Yours is the first I've seen that makes sense on load datasheets. Being a data guy (retired systems analyst) your info was easy to replicate in Excel. Thanks for sharing.
I have another video with expanded version of this sheet, checkit out if you get a chance. I appreciate the kinds words and hope some of my other videos can answer any questions you have. It's an enjoyable hobby.
I use an older Load-all, I use the Lee powder measure drums and drop the charges directly into the powder pan on my digital scale to verify consistency. It's not speedy but it's accurate. I load a 2-3/4" 9 pellet 00 buck with 19 gr of Titewad, flex seal from Ballistic Products and 1/2" fiber cushion. For a conventionally loaded run of the mill load that's easy to put together, it's a good one.
Great video. I've gone through stuff like this using shotgun powders for pistol loads and figuring my own data out for unlisted loadings. Always start min - 10% and be cautious. Just got into shotgun reloading and was scratching my head with the Lee Load All I got for Christmas. I was starting down the same road for 8lbs of Titegroup I picked up years ago but your math makes the job much easier since I have that Lee Reloading book.
I just checked (Nov 2024) and Longshot is still not listed on the data sheet that came with my Lee Loadall 20 gauge. The problem is, Longshot is the only 20 gauge powder I can find right now. However, Hodgdon website does have a Lee powder bushing chart that includes Longshot and Titewad. The next problem is that the smallest Lee bushing is 0.095. This throws 19.4 grains of Longshot in my loader. The Hodgdon chart is the same as yours. My Lyman 5th edition reloading manual also has a Lee powder bushing chart. It shows the 0.095 bushing to throw 19.1 grains of Longshot. With my components, I need 16.5 to 18.5 grains of Longshot. I just ordered a set of reduced size bushings off ebay so I can use Longshot. BGTW, excellent video, keep them coming. I have a 12 gauge MEC Sizemaster but I recently bought a 20 gauge shotgun. I didn't want to put another $400 into another Sizemaster or even $250 for a 600 Jr. Don't even start with the advise to buy a used one for $75. You haven't looked lately. Used ones on Craigs List or eBay arre nearly as much as new or many are asking more! The Lee Loadall seemed like a better option for a hunter who shoots just enough clays to keep in form. I haven't used it yet, waiting for the new bushings, but I must say I am impressed so far.
Hello Murphy to open a cartridge with a convex cone I take a wine corkscrew you insert the point by turning the corkscrew it is not enough then like a cork cork to pull and the whole comes out without problem, the plastic of the hull is spared.
I just purchased 3 pounds of titegroup and I was going to use it to load 12g. Thanks for the video! I would definitely have a copy of your load data if it’s possible!
This is a great video! I can’t believe i never saw this one before when looking if anyone had came up with any other load data for the Lee loadall. Would be possible for to got a copy of this from you?
I bought mine about 2 months ago. using green dot powder setting it up for 18.3 gr drops supposed to use the 141 powder bushing only get 16.7 at best. out of frustration I put it on a scale and spoon in until I get that 18 gr charge. have you had similar problems?
With some powders it is more prominent. The lee bushings are usually a few tenths short, but that is way off. Have you tried to use the next bushing up?
@@murphyfirearmstraining3630 yes I did. but still not good enough. I got it close then scaled it to a charge that I wanted. it's slower but more accurate
@@critter9a MEC (and other) presses have enough bushings to get it dead on. The Lee system is just too basic if it has to be that close. If you shoot enough and want your loads dead on, you might consider upgrading. My shotgun volume is not enough to warrant that investment..... For my birdshot loads, I get the closest it will get and let it go. For my buckshot loads, I do what you do (throw powder with the bushing into my scale pan and then trickle to exact weight). Wish I could be more help.
@@murphyfirearmstraining3630 yeah that's my problem, not enough shooting to warrant that kind of investment. I've got it down to a system to make it work so, I'll just deal with it lol thanks for the help
@@critter9a Another guy on YT had the same problem and took a bushing that gave him more powder than he needed and he took finger nail polish and built up the inside of the bushing until it was dead on his load desire.
Great content as usual Murphy! I tried to send you a message through UA-cam to request the spreadsheet, but for some reason I cannot. Is this something you have to enable on your end?
My manual doesn't show any entries for HS6 powder. May search reloading forums like the reloaders bench or BPI has a section where they publish a load of the week.
@murphyfirearmstraining3630 I would love to have that spreadsheet. Thank you for the good work I use a lot of lee products and always have had good luck and quality and relatively priced well not to mention that it produces quality ammunition weather is the Lee load all 2. Or any of their metallic cartridge reloading from the basic rubber mallet and hand I set for Centerfire and 410 to the hand press or the Challenger have been extremely reliable and not to mention the dies extremely easy to use
Brand new to reloading and hoping someone can help I'm trying to load 1 1/8oz of 7.5 in federal clay shells with longshot powder and can't figure out the powder load
cant find where to post my email to get copy of data. also would like to have for red dot, blue dot, green dot as many suppliers have popular powders listed for loadall out of stock
Lol...lmfao... you made that about as hard as you possibly could. Use a ratio proportion problem format. Easy, peasy. I had my bushings figured out for Win 572 in a couple minutes.

Great video. Longshot is all I’ve been able to find lately. Using a load all 2, any good recipes you’ve found for 12? Using 7.5 lead w209 primer.

@@murphyfirearmstraining3630 1 1/8 lead
By volume yes, check with scale, round &round we go.
To calculate how many grains per bushing couldn’t you just fill one up then weigh it?
