Lee Precision 90254 Classic Loader, 9mm Luger

Excellent product, I purchased some steel case that will not eject from my M/P 9. So I used this kit and a puller to salvage the powder and the bullet. I keep this kit on my bug out toolbox.

Works great

handy off grid or bench reloading, simple sturdy tool with good instructions

My first impression of this kit wasn't all that great, I couldn't get it to seat a bullet properly, and the first few rounds I did were quickly dismantled as they would've been very unsafe to fice. But, after getting everything adjusted properly, and using a much more stury work bench, these problems seems to go away as well. I've had one of these kits for .223 for a bit now, and absolutely love it. That kit is very easy and stable for adjusting the seat depth of the bullet, and if does not get accidentally twisted or altered. This kit is slightly different~ every few rounds, i have to measure the overall length to make sure that everything is still within a tolerable variance. The way this one is designed, it just knocks the push rod tightening bolt loose, and next thing you know, your rounds are slightly off. After 3-5 rounds, I am consistantly finding a variance or 0.5mm overall length. Again, the rifle kit is designed differently, and this is much more stable~ It had less variance after doing a hundred rounds. Another thing I've noticed with this system is that the rod to seat the bullet is almost too short if you want to load hollow points. I had a go at it with some 115 grain Hornady XTP bullets, and they were hell to properly seat. My next round will be some other FMJ bullet that is either blunt tipped, or rounded. If I remember, when i do that, i'll try and updat ethis and leave comments about the differences noted, if any. All that said, for a novice reloader, this is a fantastic tool. it includes everything needed to knock out the old primers, install new primers, and a brilliant design to quickly and easily funnel the powder into the brass, and seat the bullet in a matter of moment. and removing used primers is very simple with this kit~ just one good tap and then some cleaning. Also great for a novice because it is a somewhat time consuming hobby, and you must take note of absolutely every step you take to make these rounds. I've heard that with a traditional, bench mounted loader, it is easy to load hundreds of rounds in an evening. I'm not going for speed here, so this isn't an issue for me. Loading a round with this kit does take a bit more time, depending on your scale, hands, etc, this can take anywhere from @ double or more the time a bench press runs. What you lose in time, you regain by being able to adjust your bullets at the range if you need! This is an unreal bonus that no other system offers! I would not hesitate a moment to recommend these kits to any person who enjoys their second amendment right, and is even remotely interested in learning more about the makings of a bullet. If you are not sure reloading is for you, you can pick up this kit, and all components of your ammunition, for about the same or less than the cost of a typical bench mounted press. I'm quite positive i will be ordering one of these kits for every firearm I ever plan of purchasing!

Great way to learn how to reload.

Get into the hobby, quickly and cheaply. Lots of videos of how online. Minus the slugs, casings and primers, and powder, all you need to start with 9 mil.

I have owned 2 of these kits now. Both ended up being great gifts for people looking to get into reloading. I learned on this reloading kit then I upgraded to a single stage press. If you’re looking to try out reloading I recommend buying this and giving it a try.

It's simple and effective. The Lee Loader comes with the bare basics to reload a cartridge all in a small convenient package. All that's not included is a hammer. A scale could be useful to measure out different powder loads. Lee makes good affordable reloading gear.
