Lee bullet seater with micrometer

[Stadoc]

I was in a bind the other day reloading for a 3006, I usually use a rcbs matchmaster but couldn't get one fast enough so I picked up a Lee with micrometer to use temporarily. I have to say I'm very pleased with how it works. Does anyone else use one of these? If so have you had any issues or some words of advice on it.
Thanks

Just got some. Going to try it shortly but being a common man I'm happy with Lee dies. With the proper diligence can get good results, not f class or PRs but good

I use their neck collet die as well as their crimp die and never had any issues.

Lee's neck collet die doesn't get much respect from a lot of handloaders but they've worked great for me for many many years.

I have said it a bunch of times, and will continue to say it.....the Lee dies are good dies, not.just good for the money. The dies and the company speak of a time when we innovated and solved for simplicity, quality and cost effectiveness.

Not to say that other most expensive dies are not good, or that the companies are trying to rob us, but I can't wrap my head around these die sets for $250-500. I just can't make sense of it.

I agree

Have several sets of Lee dies, three die sets, collet neck dies, crimping dies, used in various hunting rifles with no issues whatsoever. I also have Whiddon dies for my long-range custom build, and they are fantastic, so, in my opinion there's a place for both.
