I've used Lee equipment for many years. First because it was inexpensive and later because I got used to it and didn't want to change. I do have a couple of non-Lee dies.

I have used the Lee equipment to load at least 10 calibers - long guns and handguns. With the Turret press I can load a few hundred rounds a night while watching TV as I did last night in preparation for the state match in Friendswood this weekend.

I tried the Lee 1000, but I wasn't impressed. Too finicky. The Turret works just fine so I went back to the Turret. I will sell the Lee 1000 to someone that likes it better.

For my long guns I enjoy using the Lee hand press, again while watching TV. I feel I have better control of the process with it. I'll put my handloaded ammo with the hand press against anyone else's - whether 7mm Mag, 45-70, or other.

Bottom line, my experiences with Lee equipment have been mostly positive over many years, including their customer service.
