LEE dies and Speer bullets?

[PJgunner]

I see no reason why you couldn't use those Speer bullets witht he Lee dies. Come to think of it, Lee says to not use CCI primers (also part of ATK) in some of their equipment. RCBS also says to not use CCI primers in theeir tools but they work just fine. Like somebody said, they're in a urinating match.

Thanks guys, for all the info.....I went ahead and loaded up the test rounds (Speer 220 grain FP) and they look O.K. and don't appear to have any issues.

I've never seen anything in any LEE literature saying not to use CCI primers. In fact, the instructions (and the box) that came with my AUTOPRIME II said to use only CCI or Winchester primers. I pretty much use only CCI primers anyway so that hasn't been a problem, but I always wondered about it.
