I'm showing eleven new items but no powder measures?

The link above says 2014 but the actual page shows 2015.
The factory crimp dies should sell very well. I might buy the 300 BO dies now even though the rifle hasn't been released to distributors yet
I want the bullet puller they demoed last year
Looks like 12 new items to me, but no new powder measures?

I was hoping to see some molds designed for 7.62x54R and some 35 cal rifle bullet offerings. Bought the Perfect Powder Measure last year and really like it. I throw the charge on the light side and trickle to weight for my rifles. It is probably plenty accurate enough with the right powders.
You have to actually down load the catalog to see the new powder measures.
Me see em, thanks

Looks like I'm buying two new powder measures. Hopefully they don't leak w/ H110.
Lee is listing the new classic cast powder measure at $95.
At Midway right now, you can get an RCBS Uniflow powder measure for $73 and a Hornady L-N-L Powder measure for $65.
I wonder what the street price for the new Lee measure will be? Hopefully it works at least as good as their current perfect powder measure. The perfect powder measure works very well for most powders except for the very very fine powders. Seeing that the new classic cast powder measure is made from cast iron and brass should mean it will be very durable and cut way down on the static cling problem that is experienced with the perfect powder measure.
I wish they would come out with some four cavity bullet molds.
would be nice for us ladle casters
I want a new Zip trim!
I`m glad to see lee products steppin up in construction materials , but on the down side so are the prices. But in todays economy/inflation rates still very competitive !

I'd gladly pay more for the cast iron/brass construction over the plastic one any day. Lee always lists thing at a higher price in their catalog than you can get them in the shops. I'm betting it's going to sell for around $70 and not the $99 listed.
I'm always astounded by the prices of the the powder measure brackets. Big dollars. Just make one from a shelf bracket or a couple odd 2x4s ends.

I kind of like the looks of that new measure. I use the Perfect Measure now mounted to my pistol powder through die and it works very well. I've been looking for a measure I can bench mount for batch loading pistol and rifle . . . I guess I'll hold off now and see what the comments are on this one once it's out. I also have to believe that the price will be lower than they show. It will be interesting to see what Titan lists it for as their prices and service are excellent.
Dont forget: mikesreloadingbench.com to go along with lee loadmaster parts.
That measure sure do look nice. I am in the market for a new measure. Will try that one if it comes out sooner rather than later in 2015.
