Lee plastic seating stem retainers
Posted: 13 Sep 2020 00:40
Hello everyone, I'm new here and really enjoying the knowledge and information everyone shares.
I've been reloading here in the UK for 40 years - using Lee (50%), Lyman (30%), RCBS (10%) and Hornady/Pacific (10%) gear and moulds.
When looking at used equipment on the BIG auction site, I still see the black plastic seating stem retainer on dies for sale. When did Lee switch to an aluminium part, does anyone know?
I have a set of Lee 223Rem dies I bought new in the 1990s with plastic. I know about the month/year codes used in the past twenty years or so, which I use to help age dies.
Thanks for your time.
