Any experience with the Lee Load All II ?

[dfar]

I'm thinking about getting into reloading and was considering a Load All II for 20 ga. Anybody have any hints/tips/pros/cons for this unit?

If this is going to be your first time reloading. Don't use it.
other then that measure everything every 5 to 10 shots.
I found mine for my 12 seems to get bumped out of line and this give me light/heavy loads. I fixed it with a small cut out of cardboard and so far so good.
It takes some time to get use to and do NOT reload low cut cheap target loads. (Box of 100 for 20$ at wal-mart) they get stuck even if they are brass.

I think you would be much better off with a RCBS or a MEC, you will spend a little more buy it is worth it not to have the headaches of inferior products.

Do yourself a favor and buy a Mec Sizemaster. Loads everything a 20ga can handle. Parts and accesories are readily available along with an adjustable charge bar. It is a single stage press but with a bit of practice you can really crank them through. Hardly any plastic parts. Load Alls are a lot of plastic and not designed for heavy use.

Thanks all. Sounds like it's not the road I need to be going down!
