Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Lee Dies

I load a variety of cartridges from 22 CF up thru 338 rifle. Handgun's from 357 up thru 45. . Dies from Lee, RCBS, Lyman, Redding , Hornady & a couple others no longer in production. I can see no difference in the quality or accuracy of the ammo produced. My Savage 260 Rem using Lee dies gives me sub 1/2" groups with just about any bullet I wish to use. If it works it works, regardless of brand.

I make sure I have a Lee collet sizing die for every bottleneck cartridge I load. It produces the most consistently straight cases. Their other dies also work just fine, though I prefer Hornady for straightwall cartridges and I prefer RCBS and Redding seating dies.

Lee now has replacment locking rings with a set screw and a O ring

Yeah, but those are only three shot groups.
bsa1917hunter will be along shortly to tell you you're doing it wrong.

I use Lee dies & highly recommend them

Especially the 4 piece handgun die set with the factory crimp die

These will turn out semi pistol ammo that will run flawlessly in your pistol

I use em in my 9mm---40 S& W---& 45 ACP

Lever gun shooter ? The Lee crimp die for lever gun ammo is also suggested in tube magazines

Will not distort your brass in any way...great for powders like W296 that require a heavy crimp

Another note..Lee has improved the lock ring recently

Also a fan of Redding bushing dies in my oddball p/dog cartridges--Forster also---RCBS & Hornady last

Been using Lee dies and other equipment for almost 2o years, Never had a problem, and have produced some very accurate ammo. Lee is the best bang for the buck, IMO.

P.S. I don't know anything about their customer service, because I've never had to use it.
