My main interest over the years, has been to buy guns, develop the most accurate loads I could, then trade them (the guns) off for MORE guns to develop more loads....over and over...so, I have owned a awful lot of guns and loaded for them. All in all, I have seen very few die problems but, I don't buy that much RCBS any more, mainly because I like the quality of the Redding dies. I have used quite a few Hornady die sets (zero problem with these), and quite a few customs dies.
I have run into some odd ball chambers, and once in awhile, I have trimmed the bottom of a sizing die for tight chambers.
I do think that manufacturers doing the factory chambering, are paying more attention to average chamber sizes than they used to in general and tooling and controls are better.
My favorite dies in factory dies, are the Redding S dies, where I can get them for a caliber that they cut them in.
I still use quite a few RCBS dies, but I haven't purchased more than four sets in the last few years.
