No mate, don't know where you hear this, but definitely not the case...

Reloading is about consistency. If you slow down, and make sure your dies etc are clean etc, no reason on earth that even a Lee press can't produce competition grade ammo. Get a decent electronic vernier and you're sorted.

Toby, spudattack is spot on, scale is only part of lee kit that is a bit suspect. I shot national level ipsc for several years, and reloaded around 30-40 000 pistol rounds a year on a lee pro1000, and several thousand rifle rounds on a basic lee press. Try to get electronic scale (don't skimp, it's prob the most important part of the whole setup), or second hand RCBS or similar if manual. Go slow, measure and check !
