I gave up on an RCBS 2 die .223 set. Directions are very difficult to understand; especially for a first time rifle cartridge loader. Lee makes their directions very clear and easy to understand, and gives very helpful tips to make sure you do not get a stuck casing. They also supply a neck sizer die which you can us on brass that has been shot through your rifle, as this brass does not need to be full length re-sized, which gives more life to your brass. Perfect, especially for the beginner to rifle cartridge reloading.

I like LEE's products. They work well and the price makes them a great value. I just finished Decapping/sizing/Trimming on over 800 223/5.56 cases. Had trouble with a few cases getting stuck in the sizing die. I had lubed all brass well including inside the neck. I believe the problem was a result of processing a wide range of brass of various head stamp & shot from several different firearms. A lot of this brass was picked up at the range. I believe some brass was expanded more than others. I'll have to be more careful and sort brass and pay attention to which is giving me trouble sizing. I don't blame the Lee die for any of this.

They are every bit as good as any other brands I have used. The machining is precise and well finished. They just plain work. The ammo that they produce is better than factory.

Very high quality set of dies and less expensive than other brands of lesser quality. I've always been very satified with the performance of Lee dies.

LEE die sets are good die sets, period. Instructions are simple. Follow them. One requirement I would suggest is getting a case length checker to see if your resizing your brass properly in step 1. Follow the instructions on the case length checker and see if your setting is ok I. Step one. This helps eliminate any sizing mistakes!
