[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 111600, member: 8947"] From an engineering standpoint, I think the Lee die is really very smart. Got a patent so I guess others felt the same way. As to quality control, well, for the sort of money Lee is asking, you will get a few rough spots. However, most of the dies I have used over the years didn't need any touching up at all. The biggest advantage of the Lee die is that the collet will size the very base of the neck. No doughnuts. That cannot be said for the Redding die. For simplicity in use and quality of finished sized neck, the Lee wins hands down. Add in the fact that it can be used with many other cartridges of same calibre and is dirt cheap, no comparison. Only downside is that quite a bit of force is required to squeeze those necks so you need a sturdy press/bench. Jerry [/QUOTE]
