I recently purchased a Lee Classic Loader in .38 Special just because I was intrigued by the thing. I thought it might be a nice way to take handloading on the road. I broke it out this afternoon and decided to try to load a few rounds (which felt a little strange sitting on the floor of my handloading room under two presses, both of which happened to have .38 Special dies installed in them). I had been loading .38 Special this morning, so I had the components out. Seemed like a perfect time to give it a try.
Anyway, I followed the instructions that were included. They were better than Lee's usual instructions (and the pictures were actually useful); that was a nice change. It took a while (probably longer since I was new to it), but the Whack-A-Mole turned out ammunition that looked exactly the same as the rounds I loaded on the press, chambered just fine, and seems to be of similar quality.
I'm impressed with the system, it was both easier to use and of higher quality than I was expecting.
