[QUOTE="dwbammo, post: 1714753"] Lee's are ok if you don't really plan on reloading a lot, or if you are getting it for a gift for a new reloader but if you are getting into relading for comps or you plan to make a living off of it like I do, Lee turret presses should not even be a consideration. One major flaw they have is how the primer tray and feeder are set up. The primer tray is attached to a neck that feeds into the primer pocket that rises and falls with the shell plate. This set up does not allow the loader to view the primer before it seats and it is a pain because of the way they bottle neck in the chute. Also they can double feed primers if you either have to pull a hull out for some reason, or the primer does not seat. If you double feed a primer and are not aware of it, then when you return down on the cycle, the bottom primer will smash and could explode, and consequently set off every primer in the feeder and tray because there is no separation as in a dillon where all other primers are stored in a aluminum primer tube. Again, I'm not trying to impede on your thread, just thought I'd put in my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
