Subject: RE: Reloading equipment

Lee loading equipment is fine. The fit and finish isn't as good as the bigger dogs, but you don't get extra points for that.

I have a Lee hand press, an RCBS Rockchucker, and a Dillon 450. They're all good for what they're intended to do.

I will say, you should splurge on two things: The dies and the scale. Those two items ultimately have more to do with your was of entry into the hobby than anything else.

For dies, spend the extra $15-20 and get RCBS. They're the industry benchmark today, and you really can't go wrong. I reload for the same rifle, and battled somewhat with Lee dies and lost. I chucked the whole hot mess and bought RCBS. My rifle is now happy.

The scale will keep you alive and prevent blindness. I can tell you that the Lee scale suck balls three different ways on three different days. Run away. It will chase you, so drive hard and ditch it. Go to midway and buy a digital scale. almost any digital scale. You'll be in business in no time.

Good luck.
