Used mostly lee up until recently. I then tried a set of Forster dies and have been buying those and slowly replacing my Lee dies for my more frequently loaded rifle rounds. There is a huge difference in the feel of the resizing dies. So much smoother.
 
I put them down as Lee, Hornady, Redding and RCBS.
I grew up on RCBS, if it wasn't - it wasn't allowed in the house.
I really like my new Lee collet and crimp dies
Crimping is new to me. Thanks @ButterBean
 
Redding, they are a local company for me and have great customer service, I cut my teeth on Lee products like a lot of folks and eventually switched everything over to Redding!
 
Started with RCBS and Hornady. After using my first set of Redding dies, I slowly went to almost all Redding dies other than my 6x45 dies which are RCBS, and my Lee crimp dies. Eventually my 6x45 dies will be replaced with Redding when I can find some. I do really like my Lee crimp dies though.
 
You missed a few... Us old people have more in our toolbox.. Like Lyman and Pacific
I had an old set of .220 swift dies that said "bonanza" on them,..,any of you "old people" know about those? Was that it's own company or made by another?

My .30-30 dies are Pacific like you mention here.
