Lee Precision 22/250 Pacesetter Dies

have bought lee dies for 25 yrs simply the most affordable and the best

Excellent dies...So far I've loaded about 500 handloads with these, and could not be happier. With .22-250 Hornady Ammo going for 30-50 for a box of 20, once you figure your powder, primers and bullets (1 lb can of most powder goes for +/-30 locally) 7000 grains to the Lb, assuming apx. A 40 grain charge, works.out to about 175 loaded cases. At that amount, you're roughly $0.17 for Powder, CCI #400 & #450 primers are $5.00/100, so $0.05 ea, and locally bought Hornady V-Max bullets are around $20.00-$15.00/hundred for 40, 50 or 55 gr.So $0.20 ex.$0.18 for powder$0.20 for high quality Hornady bullets,$0.05 for a CCI primer.$0.42 per loaded roundFactory Hornady ammo (local Gander Mountain)$38.99 per 20Factory ammo= $1.95 per roundHand loads (made to apx. Hornady spec) = $0.42$1.53/saving per Rd.In apx 26 rounds, you've paid for these dies (ballparking at about $40.00 for the die set)So, 1 & 1/4 boxes worth of good ammo, and you could have bought these dies.

Cheaper than RCBS, just as good if not better. They also have a shell holder and with RCBS you have to buy one. I would recommend this product to anyone. If something ever happened to these I would buy another one. Arrived in a timely manner. Shipper sent this right away.

As expected,

Was all there but better have some wd40. Got de primer soaking, couldn't get adjusted, hope so in morning, not rusted just froze up with old grease .

ease of use

Good dies for the money as long as they are kept clean and taken care of would last a lifetime.

Always good with lee
