Now that I think about it I did lose an expander on my 38 special/ 357 mag expander die by Lee. They replaced it for no charge or shipping. For my pistol dies, Lee does fine. I own their 9mm, 38/357, and 45 acp pistol die sets. I really like how there crimp dies work. I guess for the price the Lee dies are fine. They are not good for making precission ammo though. For a pistol, as long as it chambers in the gun, Who Cares!!!

fgw_in_fla,
Good luck on the surgery, and don't worry about not being able to shoot. I will take care of that! ;D
