Default RE: Lee reloaders

Lee equipment gets trashed here regularly. You will get lots of advice telling you to buy nothing but RCBS, Redding, Lyman, and so on.

Ignore it.

Lee stuff will load good, shootable ammunition, and you won't need to spend in the $300 to $400 range to set up a loading bench. In your situatiuon where you are not sure if handloading is something you want to do long term, Lee equipment is fine.

Lee presses will not last like something from RCBS or Redding, it is true. An RCBS press will last the rest of your life, given minimal care, like keeping it rust free. The Lee will load thousands and thousands of rounds before it wears out. How much are you planning to load?

I use a lot of different equipment. Started with an old RCBS Jr press. Currently I have 2 Dillon 550s, but still find room on my bench for a Lee turret press.
You might pick up a copy of Richard Lee's book, Modern Reloading. well worth the money as a reference.
