I've loaded up my first 35 rounds of 223, but haven't been to the range yet to test them out, but again, they are all very consistent. Supposedly the lee rifle dies are designed to use the decrimping rod as a stuck case extraction tool, but I haven't had one of those yet and I've run about 1k cases through the die.

    And yes, the price was a big selling point for me too. I haven't had any problems with any of my Lee stuff, so I keep buying it. If I start running into problems or QA/QC issues, I might consider branching out. But I absolutely LOVE the breech lock lock ring eliminators. The quick-disconnect works amazingly well once you get the dies dialed in and they hold their settings no matter how many times you remove/install them. Makes swapping between dies or calibers take less than 10 seconds.
    Thanks, I'm pretty much sold on trying a set at least in the 40S&W. I'm reloading in fairly low quantities and won't have to worry about wearing out a die set for a long while... But they are only $30 so I'm thinking WTH i'll get a set of 223 as well.

    Oh and I've never had an issue with Lee as well. He's a bit preachy in the Modern Reloading book, but so are all the other old gun farts I know.
