Lee products

[Jack]

I own quite a few Lee products- their hand press, a couple of their Auto Primes, some die sets, Factory crimp dies, etc.
Here's my .02 worth on Lee products:
Some of their design work is really, really good, like the Auto Prime- simple, clever, works very, very well.
Now for the other side of the coin: every time I have bought a Lee die, or die set, I have had to take it apart and deburr, polish, or do something to make the thing work.
That may sound like no big deal, but, for a new reloader who doesn't know WHY his new die set isn't working right, it is a big deal.
For that reason, my advice is for beginners to stay away from Lee stuff.
I have never run into problems of that nature with stuff that came in green boxes, so my advice to beginners is to stay with the green box folks equipment (RCBS and Redding) , at least to start out.
