    got a little hornady electronic scale, lee hand press, lee dies. whats more to ask for?

    Yeah some parts about lee aren't that great, but they do things others DONT do,,, like the standard lube vent hole in rifle full length dies,,,, those cost EXTRA in some other brands...


    One of the biggest off put is that SO MANY of the *******s on shooting forums are "purest fanboys" against lee.

    Yeah, what is that about? LEE has more in their offering and is the most reasonably priced items of all of them.

    cant say that LEE has less in its offerings. They do things that other companies don't do.

    the first cast load I did with my .308 was with LEE everything. somehow I got a group 1.5" in diameter at 30 yards?. the boys using redding and hornady dies said they typically got twice that when starting out with their premium dies the first time. Talking about the accuracy I got with my second load of HORNADY ROUND BALL at the same range, got me kicked off of that web site. apparently my accuracy was too good.
