I am beekeeper,
That is the job I held after retiring from the Navy after 25 years.
I started reloading with a lee loader in 1962 when as a sailor I was lucky to afford a Lee Loader.
Was given a RCBS jr press by an old friend and used it to form 7MM Mauser and 8MM Mauser brass from milspec 30-06 as in those days it was free for the picking on any Military Range.
Shot Military rifle match and used a Lee Loader to load the ammo when Milspec ammo was not required.
Still have the RCBSjr press as well as a Lee Classic Cast.
All dies are :Lee wit the exception of the RCBS forming (trim ) dies.
Had RCBS 7MM ,8MM and 308 dies given to me a couple of years ago. They sit all lonely in my die drawer
I build all of my own rifles and make custom fishing rods when a family member wants one.
Since returning to reloading I have shot cast only and have found no reason to change

Welcome beekeeper! The product branding seems pretty strong in us that started with the simple Lee Loader!

Don't forget the price RD. If I had to buy Redding or Dillon I wouldn't be able to reload.

Very true. Lee keeps it affordable for the low volume shooter to enjoy reloading as a hobby in itself.
