Difference in Lee presses

[Alferd Packer]

Some are Bullseye shooters.
Some are plagued by inaccurate firearms and can't seem to hit anything.
It's just the fault of those pesky firearms!

LEE makes some good stuff, but there progressive machines are finicky beasts.

save up a Little more and get a DILLON

in the long run, you'll be much happier.

All progressives are finicky beasts.....I have more than a few friends with progressives. I've spent just as much time with new Dillon owners as with new Lee owners helping them learn their new machines. I don't care what color a press is, if you learn it, keep it clean and properly lubed, and stop stroking when something doesn't feel right, you'll be much happier. I love my green presses, my friends love their red presses (both brands) and my smurf friends love theirs. We all have different likes and needs....and that and only that should determine which press to buy.

That said, it really helps to have a friend that has some talent, mechanically, if you don't happen to be such a person. #1 rule of using progressives, is don't force anything that is normally smooth.
