e been using Lee Dies for My K31 for the last four years and am 100 percent satisfied with them. $19.95.

While I do use Lee Dies in some calibers, I'm going to use Redding Dies for the K31.  They may be pricey but after the last set of Lee dies that I bought, for the 7.62x25, I'll spend the extra money and get it right the first time.  Just my opinion.

My Lee dies for 7.5x55 came with the decap pin off-center (it was bent a bit).  They did send a new one though that worked fine. 

Just curious Czech_too: what problems did you have with your 7.62x25 dies? If it's the same problem I had (rounds not chambering after seating a bullet), then I have a solution for you :).

After running 6k of 308 thru my $8 LEE RGB dies without a problem I purchased all my military calibers in Lee dies.  I even purchased my modern calibers in the Lee Brand too.  They fit my RCBS rockchucker press perfect.

It really doesn't matter which dies you use for the 7.5 swiss as long as you set the press up to full length size the case properly. Most folk's who've had trouble with the Lee dies didn't adjust the dies to fully contact the shell holder, then lift the ram and screw the die  in about another 1/4 turn. If you don't have a little camming action at the end of the press stroke, then the striaght pull cases won't  fire. Just a little pointer I've learned through trial and error. I use Lee dies to load for all my 7.5 Swiss rifles and they work great. Just my 2 centos, your mileage may vary!

Best regards!

I have both Lee dies and Redding dies for my 7.5x55.

Anyone want to buy the Lee?
