flytie Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 If you talk to the people at Henry Kranks, who import Lee products, I think you will get sorted out quickly. I use mainly Lee products, as do a lot of folks I know, and I have not heard of this being a major problem. Mine are fine. ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHunter Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 As far as I am aware they now have a life time guarantee, so the dealer should be able to sort you out. Didn't try to do a Berdan primer with it did you? TH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotgun sam Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 TH The cases were federal brass so they were not berdan's I phoned MidwayUK to ask about the guarantee and was told that it is not covered and If I wanted another I would have to pay for the new rod. T hen phoned Lee in the USA there was no problem they are sending out a replacement rod. Guess who will not be buying anything else from MidwayUK.

TheHunter Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) Great result SS, I do like Lee, real good equipment and real people making it. Shame about MidwayUK not bothering their A**es to sort you out, Lee would have sent it to them and everyone would have been happy, just lazyness on MidwayUKs part and now a bit of bad PR!
