Oh BOYOHBOYOHBOY!!!! OHHH! NUMMY NUMMY!!!
That being said, I think the original poster has the cart before the horse, and I would like to know what you mean by "Lee hand press". Is it the really cheap "whack-a-mole" kit, or is it a Lee manual turret reloading press? NEITHER of these is to be confused with a PROGRESSIVE press of ANY brand! I also get the feeling that you may have decided to buy stuff BEFORE you read a good reloading manual (like Lyman, Hornady, or Speer), and this is the most lethal and costly mistake you could possibly make. Seriously!! You need to LEARN how ALL this is done before you go out and spend ONE CENT on actual equipment, and you can get a tutor to help you PROVIDED you have RTFM "Read The EFFEN Manual" at least TWICE cover to cover!! Handloading is no joke, and when you are making ammo that can get up to 35,000 PSI or more, one screw up with the powder or the bullet seating can jack the pressure to the point that the gun will blow up, and it generally comes straight back in your face. Your attitude and desire to learn everything you can BEFORE you start reloading will determine what happens. Good luck!! It's a fun hobby, but TOTALLY demanding o the highest degree of care when you actually load ammo.
