Steve RA Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Either works well, some specialty dies are not available from all manufacturers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxer1 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I run a Hodge Podge in my LNL. I use a Lee U die to size, a Lyman M Die to expand. Redding micrometer seater and crimp dies. I also have some sets of Dillon dies and probably every other brand made for calibers I don't load that much. I started with hand me down Lee dies and honestly there was nothing wrong with them they worked fine. I do like the way Redding has micrometer seat and crimp dies though.

yellowfin Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Lee for pistol dies, Hornady for rifle dies for me. I even add Hornady locking rings to the Lee dies then they're perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzShooter Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Dillon Press, Lee U-Die, Redding seater, Lee Crimp. Works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuJudge Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I like undersize size dies, to really hold on to bullets. I shoot a lot of cast bullets, most of which I cast myself, and I cast everything hard, so I have never worried about a sized-down case sizing down a soft cast bullet. I am about to start reloading .32 S&W Long for a Walther GSP, and am going to try soft bullets, and it may be necessary for me to try a case size die which is actually larger than book values, but Lee apparently makes that too. The Dillon seat dies, with their ability to be disassembled for cleaning without losing adjustment, is an important asset when using cast, lubricated bullets.

TDA Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Dillon presses Dillon dies No problems whatsoever Very consistent ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsngeeks Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Lee dies are just fine...I used to be a stickler for RCBS Carbide Dies for pistol and the Lees offer just as precise tolerances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC27 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Another for Dillon press and Lee dies (for pistol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglou13 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) I used to load on Lee press and dies. For 9mm. For a short period ran Lee dies on Dillon I'm now using Dillon/Dillon and feel like I'm getting more consistent/ better reloads. Than any of the of the above You'll prolly get better advice in reloading forum.... Edited July 22, 2016 by biglou13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppa Bear Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Depends on the cartridge. I use a mix of Dillon, RCBS, Lee, and Redding in my presses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsngeeks Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I like Lee for factory crimp dies, the rest of the time it's between RCBS and Lee. They'll both do the job. Lee is cheaper too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBaron Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 as with sarge I run dillon press (650) and lee dies (all pistol calibres at the moment, no rifle). I have tried the dillon dies too and the lee have some aspects to them I prefer over the dillon. I do think the dillon dies are good too but for me lee does what I want and as a bonus are cheaper.
