I like my Lee junk, er equipment, helps keep my mind working by figuring out how to modify it to keep it working.
If it wasn't for Richard Lee there would a lot less reloaders.

Well there is a funny thing......the Lee cast iron press used to be the cheapest of the iron presses at around $98........now its more expensive than a RCBS Rockchucker .
Well it was either keep price low or discontinue the Rockchucker. The Classic cast is a better press in every way I've found. I've owned both a Classic cast and a Rockchucker, and I no longer own a Rockchucker (it is still at a family members house making good ammo as it always did). The Lee Challenger is a better competitor to the Rockchucker, and it's currently about half the price of a Rockchucker at $85 on Midway. It's been a long time since the Classic cast was under $100, more than 10 years.

Actually the solution here is to buy more stuff so the shipping is amortized over more stuff. It doesn't hurt as bad when you do that.

Kalifornia passes "feel good" legislation hand over fist, legislation that is looking for a problem to solve and affecting only law abiding persons.
So, after 40 years of that nonsense, that's why I now live in Arizona.

I’ve been shipping lead in Medium Flat Rate boxes. I’ve been putting 50 lbs in them for $17.10.
USPS will accept up to 70 lbs but I can’t handle that much.
The responsibility is on me to pack so that it gets to the destination undamaged. All have so far but the packing has evolved so now it’s much better than when I started.

When I order from Lee I go through a mental list of what I want spares of, one each for free; but if you order more it still helps out you over all shipping. I ordered 10 of those little squares a few years ago. But I also have rebuilt 2 melting pots and have spare parts for my dies ect., mostly ordered as replacements when ordering things I wanted to purchased.
Because of this post I went & ordered some Lee parts. I think it's a bargain,
