25/06 reloads / Lee Kit
« on: March 03, 2008, 05:23:17 AM »
 ;D  just ordered my Lee reloading kit  (Lee bashers please forgive) with dies, case length gauge, dies for my pistol, 1lb of h4831 and 100 -100gr corelokts. Just had to jump on here and let everryone know ... told my wife and she said ... Oh cool....... I knew it would be more exciting here. Anywho let me know what yall think. ... H4831 i heard is a good powder for the 25 and I have good luck with the factory Rem loads so that is why the Corelokts. Cant wait gonna go home and start reading that way i'll be ready when it gets there.

I own three Lee Presses, two RCBS, and one Lyman.  The Lee presses see 80% more use than the other ones.  The Lyman is used for pulling bullets.  One of the RCBS is used to for priming.  The other one is lying in a box under the loading bench.  All resizing and bullet seating is done with the Lee presses.  The Lee presses will work with my .338/378 Weatherby cases the RCBS won't.  The Lees seem to work smoother to me.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

The Lee dies are great. I've used them since the 70's (Lee Loader back then).

You forgot one thing.........a good reloading manual.

there is nothing wrong with lee equipment. i use a lee press for 90% of all my reloading. i load 23 different calibers on a lee challenger press. i have a dillon 550b for my pistol loads. i only use lee dies and havent has any problems at all. look at it this way, you are using top notch equipment without having to pay the 100% price markup for green paint.

I think you guys are missing something here-lol  He said "... told my wife and she said ... Oh cool...."  I don't think my wife has EVER said "Oh Cool" when Ive bought anything gun related.  Make sure you hold on to that woman!  My wife just ragged on me cause she saw that I bought a pound of imr3031 for $21.00 and it was on the cc.  Nothing wrong with a lee kit at all, the most important thing is that you are now going to be a reloader!

She is glad because now i will quit bugging her and at the same time she really doesn't care except for the fact she knows it makes me happy :)  Heck she should be happy I got that and she got a house LOL.
