Try the Lee Precision website. If it is a LoadAll 2, you can download the pdf file. Otherwise, give them a call (phone number is on the website). They have always given me good support and been very helpful when I have called.

It is not the Load All II press, this is the Lee Loader. The Lee Loaders for shotshells have not been produced for decades.

Did you try asking LEE? The Lee Loader was made by a different company, Lee Engineering I think, but they had close ties to the present-day Lee Precision. LEE's usually pretty good about customer service. Might be worth a try.

I used to have one of them, did the job if a feller didn't need too many loads. Mine's long gone, lost in a move.

I emailed Lee Precision about it. I got an email back that they have nothing to do with the 12 gauge Lee Loader.

I have a 12 ga. Lee Loader and the instruction sheet dates back to the mid 60's. It lists instructions for card & fiber wads but not for the one piece plastic wads we use now. This was from the time when plastic shotshells were just coming into use. Also, there are no loads listed because I think they were on a different sheet and the powders listed may not be available today anyway, eg. the Alcan series of powders.

If you'd like a copy of these just pm your e-mail address to me & I'll scan & send them to you.
