Lee Reloading Kit

[ACLakey]

Does anybody have any experience with this kit? I am looking to buy a kit and some dies for my old man and stumbled across this deal...is it worth the money?

Great place to start. Get some dies, case prep tools, and you're ready to go.

Yup done over 1200 rounds on it now and it is awesome. I do not like he scale so I bought a Hornady scale. The one that is with it will work I just felt it is not as precise as it needed to be.

Other than that it is a great place to start for a reloader. It has everything you need to get started EXCEPT.

Shell holders for all the calibers you want to reload for, and your dies. For the price it is awesome.

Midway says it's been discontinued, and shows no way to add it to your cart. I would suggest this one. http://www.fmreloading.com/cgi-bin/miva?...loading+Presses
Midway has it, but it's cheaper here. It's Lee's replacement for the kit you were looking at.

Also if you get Lee Pacesetter dies they are supposed to come with the shell holder so you don't have to buy the whole set.

I have been using lee's kit for two years now and have had no trouble with it, except I now have a 45 pistol I shoot way to much and it takes forever to load a couple hundred pistol rounds. I will be getting a progressive soon but it will most likely be a lee model.

Thanks for the info. I live on the other side of the Cascades from Medford, but it is only about an hour drive....if the roads are clear. I was thinking about getting Dad a kit and some 06 dies so he can "practice" for me /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
