Will the Lee Loader hammer tool made for .44 magnum also load the .44 colt?
-----------------
My turret press setup, using Lee 44 Mag/Spl dies will not fully load the .44 Colt. The re-sizing die works fine, though.
Case flaring...no, bullet seating/crimping..no, As always ,YMMV....as another users press combination may work....good luck.
However, using the Turret press, I can & have adjusted Lee 44 Russian dies to load the .44 Colt....just add the 44 Colt shellholder.
Don't have any of the Lee hammer-banger sets, so I'm not familiar with their range of adjustment...but suspect the "magnum" may have problems adjusting to a case length significantly shorter than the "special".
I do echo recommendations for use of the Lee hand Press....very useful item for many tasks.
When no one knows...dive in. All one has to do is spend the $$ and become the newest expert.
Hard to imagine dropping down to a hammer-powered loader, when one has a deluxe single-stage press available
That's one reason I luv my C&B...built-in loading tools...Hi-tech!
