I used lee dies for sizing and FCD on auto's they did the job well for most things.
For 9mm seating I got Hornady which use a collet to straighten out bullets. 9mm with lee I had to do seating in 2 stages so it wouldnt come out canted or not straight.
I also used Hornady for belling and dispense powder at same time. had to take a grinder to the hornady belling collet in 9mm and 40sw. no one makes perfect dies but for the money I go with Lee and Hornady.
having access to a lathe you can make stuff for your dies like seating stem,belling or seating collet.
What I really miss is my Lee single stage hand press and Lee all in one dies. the all in one dies were handy for when out on the range.
