RE: dies and the lee handloader
You bet. It will use any and all standard dies. I use it with all brands but prefer Lee dies to most others because they all load good ammo but Lee does it for about half the price and includes the shell holder. If any one can show me that any other dies load hunting grade ammo better than Lee dies, I would be suprised because I use all brands of dies and I can't see any noticable difference. If I were Bench rest shooting and was going to do all the steps needed for that kind of shooting then I might look into benchrest grade dies.
