After my recent LEE AUTO-Prime good experiences, I ordered some Lee Precision Carbide Dies in 40S&W.
They cost $AUD60 and came with full instructions AND shellholder and are really excellent and I got through re-sizing and de-capping 800 cases on the RC 11 press[once-fired cases from our local police Glocks] so easily ..I just couldn't believe it ! Thanks for all the FL advice, you have a great site here, keep it up ! Thanks to all. ------------------ ***Big Bunny*** |

I use Lee dies almost exclusivley and love them. I've been reloadng for 10 years and the only die related problems I have experienced have come from RCBS dies. Some of Lee's other products are a bit questionalbe but their dies are second to none.

I use Lee dies and the cheapest place inside the USA is Graf & Son INC to buy reloading equipment, could be some cheaper but I have not found them. They are on the net. Shipping anywhere in the 48 States is free and their carbide dies are 24 dollars. I have found them to be cheaper on everything else except bullets.

All my dies are Lee's except one set of Dillons that someone "threw in" on a deal. I received my latest Lee set yesterday from Midway. If I remember it was the Deluxe carbide set and cost $23 including shipping. If I order before noon, I have always received the order in two working days. I broke one of their "unbreakable" decapping pins when I tried to deprime a Berdan case. Called and had a replacement pin in 3 days no charge. The Lee dies are a little bit of a pain to get into adjustment, but they have always kept the adjustment when loading hundreds of rounds. I understand that's pretty much the same for other brands also.Good luck.

Good to hear all that, prices in USA are really good. Here you can treble any price for US gear as our price includes 21% sales tax, customs duty and a very generous margin for the importer!!
The CZ75 is already in the local shop waiting for the paperwork (3 weeks minimum "cooling off")although I have 8 other pistols)and all I need is the 40 cal projectiles (coming) and 5.5gn of Green Dot each !! |
