Lee Hand Press for 357

[Throckmorton]

Just spotted this on the classifieds. I'd suggest it as a good way to get started. sell or trade the dies for what you need. No interest in it for me , just fyi.

I think this kit is hard to beat. I just need dies and consumable materials:

Along with that I was thinking of the "Deluxe" 4 die set, where there's a dedicated crimp die.

I run a Lee handpress. It is all I have at the moment, and it is easy to use, and a space saver. I had a lead on a turret, but follow up has been weak on both our parts. It works great for handgun ammo, and works well enough for rifle too (takes a little more effort, but not a great deal more). I work in batches. I will resize a bunch, prime a bunch, flare the lot, store them, and then load as time allows (usually 50-100 rounds at a time).
I use a powder funnel to fill my cases, and just ignore the powder through aspect of my flare die. Great with a progressive, about useless in single stage.
