[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2195335, member: 116181"] Setting goals is going to help you a lot with your choices. I set out initially to make basic hunting rounds, and did that successfully for years with a hand press, some cheap dies, and a pocket scale that ran off AA batteries. But then I got access to 1000+ yard range and decided I wanted to change over to long range, so I went through and started upgrading everything in phases and ended up with a lot of duplicates (I now have 4+ die sets for some chamberings). I was fine with that because it's been a ten year process, and I upgraded rifles and optics as part of it so the reloading tools were (relatively) less expensive parts of the process. I would just hate to see someone start out wanting to play the long range game and get frustrated because the tool they bought since it was available just isn't up to what they want to do, when they should have held out a bit longer and spent the money later on something better long term. I don't dislike Lee products at all (I own bunch of them), but with companies like Forster selling higher end products for very reasonable prices it makes sense to me to start off better some times.
