I am wanting to get into reloading soon (9mm, 38 sp, 357) and today I was browsing a local store and saw a few boxes of old Lee Loader complete reloading tool kits. I don't quite have the funds for a press right now but thought this may be a inexpensive way to learn for a few months. Most were marked and were for rifles. They had one that was not marked ant the pieces looked a little different than the rifles so I think it may be for a handgun.
The only markings I see on it are on the powder scoop. It is marked 052. I called Lee's customer service and they said they couldn't help me without me sending it in( which I understand for liability reasons I am sure)
Anyway, the guy told me he would sell it to me for $8.00 (half price of the other boxes) because it did not have a manual. I went ahead and got it because I firgured I could at least use the depriming tool to work on my brass I already have before I clean them (give me something to do)
Anyway, is there a way to safely id what caliber this kit is? Does the scoop number 052 indicate the caliber? Here are some pics.
Thanks for the help!
