[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 457184, member: 15748"] 188mule, actually, brand DOES make a difference. The problem is, there's no one brand that has the corner on the market. Seems like all of them make some items that are the absolute best out there, and others that are, well, paperweights and bench clutter. LEE makes a lot of stuff that I really have little use for, putting it politely. They also make some items, like their Factory Crimp Dies that are absolutely indispensible, and the best available at any price. They also make a ridiculously inexpensive priming tool, that still sees a great deal of use in the Bench Rest community, a field where performance matters most and price is rarely discussed. Don't get locked into one brand alone; take the time to find out about the various makes, and see the differences between them. In general, I'd say it's hard to go wrong with Forster or Redding, and Sinclair makes some very neat little tools. RCBS has a long and well established line, and pretty decent quality in most items. Dillon's tough (if not impossible) to beat for progressives. Point is, they all make some decent stuff, and some that you'd be better off not wasting the money on. [/QUOTE]
