Mickey,
I know that there are alot of people out there that disagree with me and what I think of Lee Products. I doubt that there are any out there that Like Lee that load as much ammo as I do though. Between rifle, handgun and shotgun I load 15 to 20,000 rounds a year and want the best ammo I can get for the lowest price and in the least amount of time. I load rifle and handgun ammo on a 550 Dillon press and most of my shotgun ammo on a Poness Warren press. The bodys on the Lee dies are to short to work properly on a Dillon, but I had toruble with them back when I was useing a single stage press.
If you have good luck with Lee, keep useing them, As Hornet man said, "They help keep the price of the rest of the dies down." I have a few sets of dies that cost around $ 100, but they are all for wildcats. Right know I am loading ammo for a .25-221 wildcat with .256 Win. mag. dies because I didn`t want to spend a $ 100 for dies and with the .256 dies I only shorten the case life by a few reloadings.
