They are the Lorcin of the reloading world. You might get one that works properly--keep your fingers crossed though.

The best of the reloading world is Dillon, and any other brand is MUCH better than Lee.

*snicker*

people liek to bad mouth LEE.

My two cents: i own many LEE products, and have had no problems. For the price, they're not a bad value. LEE isn't top of the line, but it gets the job done all the same.

I started with some Lee stuff, I don't like it. All of my stuff is now RCBS but Dillion is great especially if you aren't going to load a bunch of different calibers.

I agree... they are the Rossi of the reloading world.
Not very good quality but they usually do work... for a while.

DILLON

Years ago I suffered with a LEE Pro 1000. It was a jamm-o-matic.

Go DILLON and never look back.

Thanks... I certainly dont want a piece of junk... This 10mm habit is expensive... Need a reloading set up.. I bet I could have bought 3 Dillons by now easily with the $$ Ive spent on ammo.

Only the 10mm... .45 isnt much fun anymore, and .223 I buy by the pallet almost...

I use a press made by C & H Tool and Die co.

C & H Tool and Die

Look at the H-Press. It is an extemely high quality press. The Dies made by C & H are second to none.

The press I have was bought in 1976 and handed down to me by my father. It still works perfect.

+ 1 on Dillon.

In addition to quality, you also get excellent support service and a lifetime warrenty (even if you bought the press second hand).

A friend of mine has a Dillon and swears by it. The only Lee products I have used is the Auto Prime, never had a problem with it. I do all my reloading on a RCBS single stage. If I ever go to progressive, I'll buy RCBS.

RCBS makes great single stage stuff, and they stand behind thier product 100%. When I decided to buy a progressive I bought what I always used for single stage-RCBS, that was a huge mistake. I lived with it for six or seven years and finally bought a Dillon 550b, it is amazing. I wish I would of spent the money up front and bought the Dillon to begin with. By the time I had the RCBS set up I spent as much or more on it then the Dillon and it was a jammomatic POS. Save your money and sanity and get a Dillon.

Did you have a Piggyback setup? I've heard nothing good about them.

The new 2000 is supposed to be a great machine--it's just a bit pricy, even compared to a Dillon.

single-stage...can't beat an RCBS Rockchucker

progressive...can't beat a Dillon

Lee's dies are great, and their single-stage presses are fine, and CHEAP. For progressive, go Dillon or go home. This comes from a Lee Loadmaster owner.
