Not so! And a pretty arrogant statement to boot. Of the few reloaders I know, many start out wanting to get more involved in their shooting, wanting "custom ammo", and some (like me) out of plain curiosity. None are known for being cheap (just wondering, are you qualified to analyze personalities?). And this reply sounds like a "tool snob" I worked with that only makes purchases by price, "if it cost the most, it's gotta be the best, right?"You do have to keep in mind that reloaders originally get into the activity because they do not like the cost of purchased ammo. They already have the personal characteristics of being cheap. Being cheap does not equate with buying the best quality. Being cheap does not even equate with buying the best value. It usually just equates with buying the item from the "lowest price bidder".
I'm a lifelong machinist/mechanic and perhaps this is why I very rarely have any Lee problems, certainly no more than most other reloading tool/equipment manufacturers, and being a heavy equipment electrician/mechanic for the last 25 years of my career I know to use shop/repair manuals and I know how to read instructions. And I'm just a plain old Chevy PU guy that has no need to impress anyone with my tool/equipment choices so I don't mind if some see all the Lee tools/equipment I use...
