    Why do I buy Lee sizing dies

    That's a good question. I like the Lee dies but they are limited in sizes.

    I ordered a .460 from Buckshot last week. It came today and boy is it nicely done. At the same price as a Lee, delivered, I'll go for Buckshot's every time!

    Thanks Buckshot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Have you called Lee Precision? I know that they have both oversize and undersize carbide case sizing dies and would assume that the same would apply to bullet sizing dies.

    Darned if I know why people buy Lee sizing dies.

    It's too darn easy to make a 7/8 X 14 adapter that takes Lyman or RCBS sizer dies in a standard press and it functions just like the Lee push through sizing dies./beagle

    rex :buckshot is a member here, just find his name [in the members list at the top of the page] or search a post by him, and p.m. him.

    Why go to Lee when you can go to one of us.

    Also unlike Lee, Buckshot won't let you down and will deliver on spec.
