What size shot will this accept? I am interested in home defence rounds so would like to do 00.

I have never used this loader to load up 00 Buckshot as I do not have a large use for them other than home defense. I do not think that this machine could or was even made to handle shot that large. I have used the machine to dispense my powder charge, primer, wad and crimp but inserted the 00 buckshot manually. If you are using 00 buckshot that was purchased all you would have to do is use the Lee Press for inserting your primer, powder, wad, put 9 00 Buckshot pellets in by hand, and then crimp. This is the way that I did it and it worked out fine but then again I was only loading about ten rounds so time wasnt really an issue as to how many I could pump out. I hope this helps.

I am 90% sure it will do 00. I have only loaded 4,and 71/2 but the openings look large enough to do 00.

The instructions that come with the unit say that you should not use the machine to drop 00 buckshot. Count them out by hand and drop them in your shell and then continue. Large buckshot is specifically discussed in their instructions book.

It will do 00. You have to make sure the wad is sized for it. The press will load everything from number 2 up to number 8, easily. Everything else takes a little more care with the wad. Of course, any time you reload, you should take care.

This thing is great for small game & home defense if need be. Pierced half a small phone book. I would keep extra strings handy though. Mine keep snapping after a baker's dozen of shots.

I would recomend it if your on a budget. Its mounted on my sig 716 and shoots great. On a 3x3 tatget at 25 yrds we were getting really good groupings. Only took it out to 100yrds once. Very easy to dial in the moa to bring the shots where you want them.

a 7.62 might be a little much unless you are very far away. I use mine with pistols but it is very durable and will last a lifetime with proper care.

The E-M10 is small even with the holder gadget. I spent a day with the 50-200 on it for an air show. The 12-60 is much smaller and fits fine. Even the 12-40 you sort of want to support with your off hand. I only hold the body alone when the small 14-40 is mounted like a point and shoot.

I have two of these. One mounted on a S&W; M&P; 10 (.308) that I've swapped the flash suppressor out for a muzzle brake. Has 18" barrel. Normally shoot Sierra 168 grain HPBTs in hand loads. Last outing I was getting sub-moa results. Have the other mounted on Armalite AR-31 (.308) with 24" barrel. Have shot better than 1/2 moa with the same hand loads. I never worry about the BDC feature since that is pretty dependent on using specific factory ammo. I can wing it on longer shots pretty easily. Great scopes.

I'm using with Elite Force HK SL9 purchased in airsoftmegastore ago 1 month ago.My best hit was the 230ft (70m) with a little clearing in sight, I needed three shots to hit.I used 0.25g king arms because I had no heavier BB. I want to test with 0:30, 0:36Also swapped the barrel for a JBU 6.01mm - 650mmshe chrono 470fps with 0.20g

I do have one on a round sight of your caliber and it thus far seems to be working okay in practice. Will be using it hopefully as I go elk hunting next week. It seems fairly reliable on my targets.

High quality .20s, I used king arms. I also used goldenball .25 and .28. The .12s will damage the gun, dont use them.

it is junk if you put it on anthing bigger then a .22 it will fall off,i put it on a 9mm and it wouldn't line up after 2 shots the dot was clear on the other side of the range.but if you are using it for home defence it should be just fine hopfully you only need one shot to put the target down,by the way if I saw a lazer dot pointed at me I"d retreat ,so to answer your question for home use yes for target shooting NO.

You don't want to use .2s with this gun. Ever. I use .25s and I would say my speed is around 400-420. It shoots hard. If you try to use .2s your accuracy will be crap, because the pellet is too light for the given force and it will fly way off target.

A .22 LR blank might send a golf ball 2 feet past the muzzle. Not much fun there. . . . Jim

7.62x51 (.308win) use a RCBS #3 Ithink it will work with x54 too. take a case to the store with you or for a few extra bucks buy a shell holder kit, run under 20 bucks for knock offs, but they all work and fit good.

I have had mine for over a year and I shoot about 100 rounds monthly on average. I even remove it when I put it in the case, but it still holds zero on my Nikon p-223 3-9x40. Make sure you use blue loctite and tighten properly.

.12gram bbs (if you want a cheap alternative) or .20gram bbs and i recomend not shooting it at close range i shot my leg and it made a cut not for children....At ALL

Reply to e-mail: It will work with the .222 Rem. just expect the accuracy to be off at least 10%. Your bullet's are averaging around 3000fps + - and the .223 3240 fps. When you zero, you might do it at 1-2 inches high. Your 22-250 is probably coming out about 3600 fps so you maybe an inch low at 100 yards will still put you pretty close to on target after 200 yards. I used to live in Maine and I don't recall may areas where a person can take a 400 yard shot. I hope this info helps you out?

I use mine to shoot 7.62x39, and have never used it on my 12ga shooting 3-1/2 mag shells. That said, I have used lower costing/quality red dots on my turkey gun without issue. This one is much better quality, with a great warranty to match it. I wouldn't hesitate to use it if I needed to.
