maybe I am a contrarian...I do have some Lee items including Lee Loaders. They have some innovative ideas( like the APP?) but their Quality just isn't up to what I consider the norm. I started out with RCBS Pacific and others many years ago. You can have problems with any brands but I seem to have fewer with the more robust tools. Lee dies are ok and I do use them...but they are my last choice. In fact I recently got a set of 44 Russian dies. Didn't really need 'em but they work, plus the price was right. And Lee does make dies that you don't see from other makers regularly
