I am plotting my purchase. BTW, if you have a .410 Lee Loader, now might be the time to throw it up on Ebay. No idea why they are going for almost as much as MEC's.

It's the law of supply and demand.  Lee discontinued the .410 kit some time ago and there are some who still want them so there's a demand that can't be met thus prices go up.  There was a time when Lee made the Classic Lee Loader in around fifty calibers,  some of those now bring fantastic prices. 

RE: Lee Loader and a Handi.    The Lee Loader is a good companion to a Handi Rifle.  All you need to load suitable ammunition for your rifle is the Lee Loader, components, a plastic mallet and a work surface.   I use my .25-35 Lee Loader to load cartridges for my Contender when I'm camping or Hunting.  Yes it's limited.  Big whoop.  When you get your Lee Loader read the instructions and load chart, then decide which bullet/powder combination you want to try first and go for it.   One of the cool things is that you can put the whole shebang in a small tackle box and have your own micro ammo factory in a very compact kit.
