What at least some of us are attempting is to stop silly attacks on dies that actually work "as good as other brands".
Lee has a history of being innovative in the reloading world. That is great. But some equipment works great, some of it doesn't.
There have been several designs that have come and gone. Lee stopped selling them for some reason.
The trouble with that, someone buys one of the new innovative designs that does not meet his own expectations and so he no longer buys Lee equipment and warns folks to do the same.
I like the Lee trimmer system.
I would still be using the Auto Prime if not for the primer brand restriction Lee placed on the tool. The Auto Prime XR cam out after I bought new hand primers that did not restrict primer use.
I don't buy Lee dies because I do not like their die lock nuts or the storage boxes. By the time I replace the nuts and and storage boxes, I have spent as much as the other guys dies with one stop shopping.
Lee dies work just fine and I have several in service with replacement lock nuts. Just one of my idiosyncrasies.
I don't buy Forrester micrometer seater dies because they are to big to fit the storage box of my choice. Yes, I have one. It works fine.
I bought a Dillon press in part to see what all the Dillon hub-bub was about. I like it, but it does not do some things as well as my Hornady progressive. In my opinion, the primer systems on both are weak.
As much as the Lee supporters do not like their favorite products being bashed, I feel it is irresponsible to claim that all folks breaking Lee equipment are using it improperly and without knowledge.
