    know its an old video. But for someone who just bought a Lee Classic turret set with Lee dies, and no teacher/mentor available, this video is a Godsend. Mahalo brother!

    “In-depth overview” - oxymoron defined. 😅

    Still innovative, still dependable, still solid, and still made in the USA! If I ever had any issue, I could call em and if the call did fix my problem they'd send me what I needed. Plain and simple. I will probably always use them for my reloads. Phenomenal dies and God bless the Lee's for being so good for the sport!

    Lee provides such a great value to reloaders for all their products. I wish I could thank Mr. Lee myself.

    I started in 1975 with RCBS Dies. I now have 5 calibers in Lee Bie Sets and growing! I love them and Lee is my go to company!

    I agree. All of the big names in reloading: Lyman, RCBS, Hornady, make high quality products, and so do the smaller names. But Lee seems to be less expensive, and yet they are well made and a good value. I think this is especially true with the die sets, which include a shell holder, plastic powder scoop and a loading table, along with a nice storage case.

    I love my Lee Classic Turret press, however I've never liked using the auto-indexing feature for rifles because I like to check every case for length to see if it needs to be trimmed. I know it could be done with auto-index enabled (size, check and trim, and continue) but I find that reloading goes quicker if I do the sizing and trimming in batches.

    I'm sold on Lee dies and really appreciate that you've made them a subject in a couple of your videos. Keep up the good work - I really enjoy your videos. I've learned a lot. Thanks

    Have been using Lee die since my entry in to reloading for myself. Before that, my sister and I used our dad's press and he had RCBS die. Honestly, neither of us could tell the difference by the end results and we could afford our own sets of Lee die. I do have a set of RCBS that dad gifted me for .308WIN, but the Lee products have been all I have needed at about half the cost. Thank you for this video. Usually do not use the auto indexing on my Lee Classic Turret press, it adds almost no time to the process and it allows me to stop at one station I feel needs a little attention. Lee's "quality on a budget" minded philosophy has brought reloading to many of us who would otherwise have been priced out of that activity.

    I started reloading when I was 19 years old and I am now 73. The first reloading dies that I bought were Lee, 30-06, 8mm Mauser, .303 Brit, and .308 Winchester. Over the years I have bought RCBS, Lyman, Hornady, Redding, and Pacific products as well. However, when I needed ,350 legend dies I bought Lee dies. I also bought a Lee .356 sizing die to use .358/.357 bullets in the .350 Legend. I just bought Lee .360 Buckhammer dies. I reload for 23 calibers with Lee dies being the bulk of my equipment. Nuf said!

    least expensive dies but yet the best dies in my opinion. The collet neck sizer dies are the most accurate neck sizers Ive used. And of course their crimp die

    HOORAH!!! These lee die sets are GREAT, Point blank period!!! I have used every brand know to man over the years. The lee product produces the best ammunition possible, oh, and at half the cost of some of the fancy high dollar brands. ALL AMERICAN MADE TOO!!

    Fantastic video. I have watched about a half dozen similar "die setup" videos, this was the clearest, easiest to comprehend, and thus, most useful. Earned a sub and thumbs up.

    So glad you used the lead cast iron turret press. Really help me understand how to set it up. I can't wait to get that powder through feature to work

    Thank you SO much! Just starting out and the instructions that come with my Classic Press are not the easiest for me to understand. This is VERY helpful!
