I reckon Lee gear is great value for the money.
    For all that a few knock Lee there are many thousands using them both to compete and put meat on the table. That said, any mass produced product will have a percentage of faulty items. Like most of the major US suppliers Lee have a darn good warranty service even to NZ. When someone like Nathan Foster's into print recommending Lee dies for excellent Concentricity Intend to pay attention. While there may be a manufacturing issue, its the nut behind the wheel that causes the most problems. Thank you Richard Lee for all you've done to make reloading accessible and affordable literally to millions.
