made in america?

[hemiguy55]

does anyone know what companies (dillon, lee, rcbs, hornady, etc) manufacture everything in the US? im looking into getting a reloading set up and im going to try to go with US made stuff. ive been leaning towards a dillon 650 but id like to know who makes their stuff here!

[SixPointEight]

Lee, Dillon and Redding in NY, Forster in IL. That's it from what I have heard. That falls apart when it comes to electronics. Most of the electronic stuff is made in China, regardless of the manufacturer

ETA: Some direct emails on ARFCOM

Aint Lee still made in the USA?

RCBS is in Oroville Ca. Lee is in the midwest somewhere, Wisconsin I think. Hornady is in Indiana I believe.
Like was said before, electronic stuff is all foriegn, but the machined stuff is still made here.

RCBS imports castings from china, machine work is done in CA

Yup, Lee is in Wisconsin. No wonder they have all of their re-sellers based out of Wisconsin.

Gotta love the global economy. Freakin Camry's made in the USA and Made in America stuff made elsewhere. It's pretty sad that my litmus test for buying stuff is wether or not the company is a USA based company. At least I know the money will (mostly) stay here.

Dillion - everything is made here in the USA when it comes to presses and dies. I have heard some of their electrical equipment comes from China.

Lee- Everything is made in USA still

I'll have to remember the Lightsaber in this quote...

Looks like the 1st page of JT*'s quote.

Does magic google 8-ball have any answers with more recent dates? Not something from 3 and a half years ago?

[CalTeacher]

I don't know why it would have changed.

Aint Lee still made in the USA?

Yep, in Hartford, WI. All their stuff--their presses, their moulds, their dies, etc.--is Made In USA. That's one reason I like Lee. They make reloading affordable *and* are keeping Americans employed. Kinda like Redfield before their 2012 price hike.

I'm sure they're not alone in that...

Call up the manufactures and ask. Then let us know.
