I'm using the Lee dies in 30-06, 223, and 22 hornet with no complaints as well. I have, however, taken the collect neck sizer die and the factory crimp dies apart and polished the camming sections of these dies. This is where the center stem and the collet contact each other. I used 1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper and mothers mag polish. Apply a slight bit of grease to the contacting surfaces and reassemble. This helps with the occasional sticking of the 2 parts of the dies. FWIW, the neck sizing collet will only size the neck down so much (the size of the mandrel inside of the case). If you apply too much pressure, you will strip out the aluminum cap on the die. (Don't ask how I know this). Read the instructions carefully as they explain how to properly set up your dies. I also like that no expanding ball is pulled back through the case after neck sizing, lessening the amount of sizing/resizing of your brass.
Personally, I really like these dies, as NO CASE LUBE is necessary when you are loading and only NECK Sizing your brass.
I bought my first set for the 22 Hornet expecting not to like them as I had used RCBS for 30+ years on all of my bottle neck cartridges. However, after polishing them, I actuall prefer them to the RCBS standard dies that require case lube for neck sizing.
I will add that all of my guns are bolt actions and the only time that I Full Length size, is when my brass has grown and the bolt becomes harder to close. They are also production guns with factory barrels as opposed to custom/benchrest quality guns with match chambers and barrels. With my setup, I am the weakest link, not the dies. My guns are hunting guns and if I can get .75" at 100 yds, my accuracy needs are met. I am able to get this with the Lee dies in the above calibers.
