Two different sets of dies in the red box, with the carbide insert at the bottom, and the darn things stuck! The owner of the gun shop said it could be that Lee had a bad batch of 'em, and may not be to spec. He is sending them back to Lee, and told me he would let me know what the out come was. I am very curious to find out! I loaded around 300 without trouble on the first set of dies, but the next set I brought home and cleaned...30 cases, and one stuck!RePete said:
I bought the die sets, so the shell holder came with them, it is in fact the right one, I loaded 300-500 rounds without a problem. I can't see any other explaintion besides the dies were faulty? The gun shop owner seems to think the same. I wanted to give them another try, but there were none in stock. He recommended buying RCBS, but I went with Hornady, as I hope to get a Lock N' Load in the near future! The Lee turret press has not "impressed" me so far!Canuck223 said:
I should have listened to the gun shop owner the day I bought it..he recommened a Dillon....I only had so much money, and was too impaitent to wait to start making my own rounds! Don't get me wrong, I think it is a great little set up for rifle rounds for the hunters, or even the target shooters, but to make enough .223, and 9mm for IPSC, I do not find it all that great! I would like to put out 2-300 rounds an hour, as compaired to the 100+ I do now! It hurts to learn lessons that cost you money!!The people I bought them from felt that they did get a bad batch. I am now going to load with Hornady dies. Cost me another $80.00, but I should be off and running without trouble now! Thanks for your help! Cheers!joe-nwt said:
