The only thing Lee I have used and don't like is the scale. I think it is just too small for my old eyes and my big mitts. I had no problem setting it or reading it, except it did take too much time. I've since picked up a Lyman Pro 500, and an ancient Lyman M5. They all agreed, but either Lyman is far more pleasant to work with.

I have the breech lock hand press, and the classic turret(With all accessories) and all my necessary dies are Lee. I have dippers, LPPM, XR hand primer. They all work as advertised.

I have a Dillon XL 650 with casefeeder bolted right next to my Lee, the Lee is the one that makes me grin when I am reloading. The Dillon is never fun, too much concentration required. I expect the Lee classic turret will last as long as the 650.

I think Lee lock rings are the best, and easy to use. Personal preference.
