    Well I don't have a .303 yet, but that's good to know for when I do... You actually like the Lee's? I tend to find them of lesser quality.

    They're cheap so there's a following here in Canadaicon. Most gun guys won't spend a dime. Cinders has sure put his share of ammo down range with effect and if he likes them so be it. I've had trouble getting replacement parts for them here in Canada, even the dealers couldn't get them. RCBS replacements are available. There's also the used section of all the gunsites that have old out of manufacture types that will suit you fine. I had a set of Lee dies for .223 for a few years and loaded several thousand with no trouble. Also I've had Herter's, Lyman, Forrester...if they're serviceable, it doesn't matter.
