Thread: Lee 50th anniversary press kit

I have been using a second-hand lee press for about two and half years. Bought of the forum and I am very happy with it. Is it the best press - not at all, but you can load good quality ammo with very low SD/ES.

Initially I only used Lee dies with it as well, but upgraded to RCBS full body and micrometer seater die. The Lee ones worked fine, but once you want to really get more into controlling seating depths and specific neck tensions, then a better die set makes your life easier.

Many other things that I will upgrade first or invest in before upgrading my Lee press (better brass, better brass prep station, better annealing machine, etc)

Go for it!
