You'll find that Lee tools are a polarizing topic. Some people love 'em; some people hate 'em.Is something like this worth it?
I've never owned one but based on using one for one project and examining them on multiple occasions, my thinking runs along the same lines.....The Lee turret I spoke of earlier was not holding to suit my standards of presumed precision. Mine has to be continually re-indexed and re-built to stay in operation. I use it for case forming, only. ...loaded round quality matters, and then I sho don't use the Lee turret. There is too much slop potential in that press to assure consistent results. I know there's slop because the daggone parts wear out and the head won't stay put.
I am with Ben, like Lee dies and powder throw, but my press is a Hornady.What about hornaday or MEC?

I didn't think you were, so no problem.Hey Ben, wasn't critisizing your response btw, ...
Have you measured the runout? I think that would be the number that matters most.In theory though, the angle changes ever so slightly and it could effect bullet alignment.

I don't own a turret press and don't see the need. They are a middle ground that fill a gap that I don't have.What about hornaday or MEC?

I have a bunch of .223/5.56 , .30-06, .30-30 and 10 gauge shells. Is anyone close to the Houston or San Antonio area willing to sell their services to reload my brass for less than store equivalent?

I don't know how it is for reloading instructors. I know that for pistol instructors, the NRA says that to hold onto your certification you must publish a class through the NRA Instructors Portal occasionally. They're a little loose on the details and while I could go into the details, that's not germane.
My point is that you're right. It's entirely possible that certified instructors are giving more classes than I can find. It would be nice if they would publish them through the NRA so that the general public could find them.
