We
use a solid carbide insert, ground to a special contour that does
not leave the objectional belt mark on the case, common to ordinary
carbide dies. With a carbide sizer, no case lube is needed, and
you don't even have to clean your cases.
No need for
a taper crimp die, plus better accuracy with Lee Dies. Taper crimp
dies are used to correct the problems caused by the improper expanding
plug design or adjustment. They distort the bullet shank and reduce
accuracy. Because the Lee Expander flares the minimum amount,
consistent with easy bullet insertion, all of the flare is removed
with the bullet seating die, thus eliminating the need for a taper
crimp die. |

| Brief History of Lee Reloading Equipment
The Lee reloading business began in the home workshop of Richard Lee in 1958 with the invention of the famous Lee Loader for shotgun shells. Lee Loaders, for rifle and pistol ammunition, were invented in the early sixties. These highly effective and economical tools introduced over one and a half million shooters to reloading.
The seventies saw the first lathe turned aluminum bullet molds along with melters and sizers. These make casting bullets easy and more precise than ever before possible. The molds are so precise that most Lee bullets do not require sizing. Toward the mid decade, the enormously popular Lee Load-All for shotgun shells was invented.
The huge following of Lee Loader users enthusiastically upgraded to new Lee presses and dies when they were introduced in the eighties. Many owners of other brands of dies and presses were easily won over because of the innovative features offered only by Lee. During this period, tens of thousands' of reloaders enjoyed the speed and fun of reloading with the Lee Turret Press and the most popular of all progressive presses the Lee Pro 1000.
Initially, every Lee product is distinctly different from products offered by other companies. Soon however, other companies have imitated Lee's inventions and offer products almost as good, but at higher prices. Dies, presses, crimpers, powder measures, priming tools, scales, bullet molds, melters, bullet sizers, lubricants, turrets, trimmers and many accessories are all inventions introduced by Lee and copied by others. |

Every Lee product must always pass the Lee three question tests:
* Does it fill a real need or is it better than any other product available?
*
Can it be produced at an affordable price?
*
Would I buy one?
A yes to all three is required before Lee introduces a product.
The most outstanding and daring features of Lee products are these unusual guarantees
* Every Lee product is unconditionally guaranteed for a full two years and a conditional lifetime guarantee.
*
Lee dies are guaranteed to produce ammunition with less bullet run-out than any other brands. Ammunition loaded with Lee collet dies are guaranteed to shoot the smallest groups, even when matched against custom bench rest equipment! Not so daring as they have already broken one world record.
Serving the reloaders of the world for over fifty years, Lee Precision is 100% family owned.
