Wondering if anyone has tried the Lee press and dies for the 50 BMG.

Looks good to me.
I don't have one of these, but I have one of their Challenger presses that has turned out thaousands upon thousands of rounds for me.
Still looks and works like new.
Oh, and some advice...lose the grease and get some One-Shot to lube the cases with...that stuff is more like Crisco in a squeeze-tube...;g
love one shot but first 50 case lubed with it stuck
removed case finally
thought too little lube and resprayed cases - &*(%*&%&^^ 2nd case stuck - removed case finally
talked to c&h people - they said needed more filmstrength than one shot provides for such a big case
dillon/lee [tube stuff ~3oz for 2.50]/imperial sizing wax all work fine for me now
Well, whoda thunk it?!?
Thanks for sharing your experience and setting me straight on this...I DO SO HATE giving bad advice!
FWIW, that One-Shot works great with the .270 Winchester brass I reload.;Q ;f ;a ;f
