I recently gave Lee dies a chance after using mostly Dillon and Redding. I was pleasantly surprised with Lee being priced so much better. But I will say that my Lee dies (rifle) require more lube than I’m used to needing. I was getting cases stuck left and right and about to give up on Lee. But I tried some Lee lube that came as a sample with one of my die sets, and not an issue since. I’m not really sure what exactly is different with the dies, the Lee seems to be not as “smooth” as my more expensive ones. But the end results are indistinguishable to me.
I have mostly Lee dies also. Talk about instructions, RCBS products are the worst for that. I have a press and just bought a bench priming tool and their manual (s) are horrible. If you are new to the game, better go to TH-cam for help. Happy New Year.

Is there after market support for Dillon dies ?
It seems the Dillion Press designs require aftermarket parts.

This says it all..."But the end results are indistinguishable to me".
