Just read the latest issue of the American Rifleman. There is an article about LEE that looks like it was written by the LEE advertizing department.
However, it seems as if there is a lot of respect for RCBS, Lyman, Redding, etc, etc and then constant brickbats thrown at LEE. I'm just wondering why?
I started reloading when the only product made by LEE was the $9.95 reloading tool. I finally bought a Lyman press and dies made by Lyman and RCBS. All of a suden LEE started making dies at a lower price and everyone elses dies suddenly dropped in price. I wouldn't be surprised if I can buy a RCBS die today for about what I paid in 1973.
I like LEE's autoprime and I have a bunch of their dies, my press is a RCBS Rochchucker and I have scale and case trimmers made by others. Personally I think on some items LEE do a great job, but they have their place. But again, why the general animosity?
