I have no experience (yet) but I've ordered the Lee hand press for christmas. I visit many other sites besides this one. Most are hunting and/or tactical sites. I, like mossy, haven't heard anything negative about them. Here are two impressions that I get about handloading.

In regard to accuracy, the more expensive dies may give a little better accuracy...is 0.1MOA worth twice the price? I decide.

Good handloading (working up loads that your guns like, finding which components "mesh" well, and just generally "knowing your $&^#") more than make up for any differences high dollar gear will make.

I would honestly say that the money is *probably better spent on another manual or different components to experiment with.
