Lee Factory Crimp Die .38/357

Post by Kissmybrass » Tue Oct 12, 2021 6:29 pm

Found one on Ebay and for the low low price of 49.99. I can't wait till December and couldn't find it anywhere else. Been searching for weeks.
I think they retail for 28 bucks so I don't mind taking a hit in this instance. I really need it.

Good idea. A valuable tool.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Good decision after a few reloads you will forget about the $12. I have lee fc's for every caliber I load. They make things so much easier for me. I think they are necessary when the bullets your loading are smooth.

KMB, I second the above comments bud, I love mine.
And ah, well I have a few of them. :lol:
Like lj said after you use it you'll forget about the extra bucks.
Well maybe not. :o :oops:

Wish you were closer so you could just borrow mine. As mentioned above, I use one with almost every caliber I load.

Got it today! Came in a nice case :-)
And I agree about the 12 bucks now that I have it (and it's the right one)
