Watching with interest as Just ordered the Lee deluxe for my 17 Hornet.

Have made a tween die to reform 22 hornet cases which works really well and takes them straight down to 17. Now need to anneal, trim and fireform or if I can get the plunger right have a go at hydraulic forming.

I too had issues with the Lee 17 hornet dies. No 2 shellholder instead of 20. Ball bearing missing from the seater die. Snapped decapping pin due the clamp not holding despite two spanners and some strength. To be fair Lee has put everything right. Must've been a Friday afternoon job.
