Lee rgb dies

i have several sets of the Lee RGB .223 dies and love them. I have them preset for whichever .223 bullet I'm loading. Never had any issues with them and they produce just as accurate ammo as if I used my forster die.
 
They make good dies. I've had trouble with "other than Lee" dies but none with theirs. If you are shooting a bolt gun, invest in one of the 4 die sets with the collet neck sizing die. You will not be disappointed! If your rifle's chamber is straight, then after using the Lee neck die, the cases will still be 100% straight.
 
Some Lee dies work ok and some don't.
The 7.65 Mauser (Argentine and Belgian) are about .018" too long so you cannot form a a case to fit the Mauser rifles.
The 7.5X54 MAS dies size the case excessively all over resulting in poor accuracy.
Some others that I have measured check right on the button.
In general I do not like the features of the Lee die sets but the FL dies are usually dimensioned properly and are very close to RCBS.
The Lee seaters are an abomination to me. There is very little guidance for the bullet in the die neck.
