I have a few Lee dies, and if they happen to come out at the advertised size, and round, you are lucky.... AFAIK, all the other companies, other than NOE, you have to change the entire die every time you want a different size, and Lee are the cheapest at around $20, and some brands are much more.... Once you purchase the NOE die set, all you have to buy to change sizes are the bushings, at $9.95 ea.... I have a huge collection for a fraction of what it would have cost from anyone else.... IMO there is just no other sizing system that makes sense.... and NOE are also the only company that makes and stocks airgun sizes....Bob
Yes, you use them with a press, I have the inexpensive Lee bench press, and it works great with the NOE dies.... You get the "Push Through Size Die Body" and then "Body Bushings" in whatever diameters you want.... You will also need a "Push Rod" for each caliber you want to size.... I would suggest you get your barrel groove diameter and 0.001" smaller for each caliber you want to size.... I have one pushrod plus 5 bushings for each caliber that I shoot, groove diameter, 0.001" and 0.002" both under and over.... Bob
