Description
The Lee Loader Classic from Lee Precision is a complete manual reloading system designed specifically for .38 Special cartridges. Sold under part number 90257 and made in the USA, this kit contains every tool needed to handload straight-walled revolver cases – case preparation, sizing, priming, powder charging, bullet seating, and crimping – with the only additional item required being a standard rubber mallet.
Built around Lee Precision’s original Classic loader design, the kit neck-sizes only and is set up to also crimp both .38 Special and .357 Magnum cases, adding versatility for reloaders who shoot both popular revolver cartridges. A shell holder cap is included to keep components organized during the reloading sequence.
The Lee Loader line was Lee Precision’s first-ever complete reloading kit, and the Classic remains a favored entry-level choice for shooters who want to begin handloading .38 Special ammunition without the cost or footprint of a full progressive press setup. Its straightforward, single-press operation makes it well suited for low-volume hobbyists, range plinkers, and revolver enthusiasts who reload their own practice and target ammunition.
