Hi Pat,
watch out for oil getting into the plastic bit that rotates the Lee turrets. If it gets oil on it it tends to just go backwards and forwards without rotating the head as its supposed to.
Also, don't you listen to those nasty comments about 'being a real Lee man' if you don't have the Zip Trim... I have the 3 jaw chuck that fits into an 18 volt drill that works a treat... still yet to make the grade as a 'Lee man' though... (thats a joke Gary...!!!)
Your bench plates look great and sure simplify your bench set up.
On the Lee stuff, I think old man Lee was a most gifted engineer. His ideas are always a little out of left field but work so well. I love his Lee Loaders and have one in .303, .308 and .223. Great stuff and such a simple concept. I have some of his moulds but do tend to prefer the iron moulds by Lymans. I have never found cleaning the oil off them to be a major drama, except once recently when I wasn't thorough about it and they didn't fill out.
Well done and happy Xmas!
James
