I purchased a new gun the other day. Today I was in a gun shop looking for dies for it. I try to buy Lee dies whenever possible.
They didn't have Lee, but another brand. Being that I was anxious to try this new gun, I bought them along with a few components to get the ball rolling.
I opened the die box and instantly realized there was no shell holder. I was bit upset.
I guess I am spoiled to Lee, they include a shell holder with each set of dies.
Luckily I had a shell holder that works for this caliber.
Here is my question.
Why is Lee the only company to include shell holders with their dies? How much does this cut into their profits?
And all the other companies that make you buy shell holders separately, how much money does this practice make for their shareholders.
Maybe other dies makers produce better quality dies than Lee. Maybe reloading with those dies might produce better ammo. But for me, I'll only buy Lee from now on. If I have to shop around for them, if I have to order them on-line, don't care.
I know this might seemed like an overblown rant. But including shell holders is a big deal to me. Is it to anyone else?
