LEE Ladedaten

The Lee reloading business was founded in 1958 by Richard Lee, beginning in his home workshop with the invention of the original Lee Loader for shotgun shells. This simple, affordable tool revolutionized reloading by making it accessible to everyday shooters. In the early 1960s, Lee expanded the concept with Lee Loaders for rifle and pistol ammunition, ultimately introducing over 1.5 million shooters to the world of reloading through these efficient and cost-effective solutions.

During the 1970s, Lee Precision continued to innovate by introducing the first lathe-turned aluminum bullet molds, along with melters and sizing tools. These products significantly improved the ease and precision of bullet casting, making it more accessible than ever. The high level of manufacturing accuracy in Lee’s molds often eliminates the need for bullet sizing altogether.

By the mid-1970s, Lee launched another standout product—the Lee Load-All, a compact and highly popular tool for reloading shotgun shells. It became widely appreciated for its functionality, simplicity, and affordability.
Today, Lee Precision remains a trusted name in the reloading community, known for offering practical, high-value tools for ammunition reloading and bullet casting that serve both beginners and experienced reloaders worldwide.
