[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 356267, member: 2736"] For many years I used the RCBS dies and press (Rock Chucker) an was very happy. Once more brands became available I tried most of them . some were good and some were not. I still have all of my original RCBS dies and where I needed a "Special" die for something I bought more expensive ones. So For normal reloading I still rely on my RCBS and the Hornady New dimension and for special purpose Like the wild cats I use the Redding because of the features and the fact that they were the only ones to make those Wildcat Dies. RCBS and Hornady make excellent dies and there is no reason to change unless you are not happy with them or you have a set that does not work well. All die makers screw up every now and then and make a bad set, so buy what you want and keep the old dies. (You may find that they are just as good as the high dollar ones. For standard SAAMI cartriges sometimes simple is better, But for the experienced hand loader a more adjustable die may improve performance. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
