[QUOTE="LRHWAL, post: 297110, member: 5418"] [b]I wish Lee would execute some of their great ideas better![/b] The Lee press does not "toggle over". I disagree that a consistent stop is not a benefit (if not required) - certainly with my Rockchucker I need exert a certain fairly substantial amount of pressure to get the case even sized enough to hold bullets in some of my rifles and I can't guess that. I'd be inconsistent were it not for the toggle over, but then maybe I'm just an insensitive guy! By the way, whilst I sing the praises of these dies, my latest purchase for my 375 H&H was unpacked on the weekend and was not up to standard. The base of the collet (I think) - the part that contacts the shellholder - is cut way off square. It varies more that 1mm away from square with the highest point to the lowest. I noticed it as I screwed it down to the shellholder as it made contact on just one spot and not squarely or even nearly squarely. Due to the design this is probably less of a big deal, as the collet rides up in a tight fitting sleeve, so probably can't really close unevenly, but I was like "jees, this is really badly done". I did check the runout by the way and with light sizing it was less than 1 thou, sizing heavily this increased quite markedly. It's cheaper for me to have a friend turn it straight than ship it back to the US. [/QUOTE]
