I have been reloading my hand gun ammo for many years using Lee Classic Loaders.
I recently purchased a Lee Zero Error Target Loader for my .243 cartridges. Ths loader has a case "reamer" and stipulates that after a case has been once-fired it should be inserted into the sizing die and while there the reamer should be used to ream the inside wall of the neck.
This is the first time I have ever had to do this and I am wondering why? If I were using a press and standard dies would this still be a required step? If not, why does the Lee Zero Error loader require the step?
Lastly, does anyone have any experience with these old Lee Zero Error loaders? Are they reliable, or should I just get a press and a set of .243 dies and be done with it?
Thanks!
