Has anyone used lee sizing dies? Simple and comparatively in expensive.
I have a lubrisizer but no punches or sizers as of yet, but as I'm constructing my wish list, I am finding the tally becoming quite high.
Lee set ups are $11.49 and you dont have to mess with punches.
what are do you all think of them?

| They do the job well. I have a couple of sizers from them...kinda odd, bcause I have two Lyman lubrasizers, one for BP and one for moly lube. The Lee sizer can be opened pretty easily to a non standard size, which is one of their advantages to me. They will also make most any size for you for about $20 plus shipping.

Hey Charlie, do you use the tumble lube on them or pan lube?

| Tumble lube. Pan lubing is a major PITA to me, and I wouldn't do it willingly! LLA does a good job for m,e, and is much easier.

I lube in a LubAMatic, a Star Sizer and the Lee lube system. I use pan lube for making my Maxiballs, and Charley is right about it being a pain in the butt.
The tumble lube method is a good one, a little slow for production and I don't I like liquid Alox for high speed bullets.
