    One example was a de-capping pin was broken and since the rod is one unit it has to be changed. No one carries spares. The whole thing had to be retuned to a supplier and told, "There wasn't a rod in it to begin with" or it would have stayed busted. No replacement parts. Lee is good stuff as long as you don't use it.

    RCBS has parts kits available to dealers, and at reasonable prices.

    I found that out the hard way on a .223 set. That set honest to God didn't last 200 cases. It's still sitting on the shelf under the RCBS that replaced it.
