I have used every brand die out there. I have them right now in my loading box or have in the past had them. I haven’t had a problem with any. If I were starting out over again, I would get Lee dies because they are less expensive and you get a shell holder, powder dipper, and load instructions. They work just as well as all the others but for less money IMHO. That’s not putting down the other dies. They are just as good. They just cost more and don’t do a better job then Lee dies. The only exception to this would be for bench rest shooting. I would then go to Redding or Wilson hand dies.

PS.
Lee put the heat on the other die manufactures to lower the price of their dies with the advent of Lee carbide pistol die sets. We know this to be true if you are as old as I am and saw that happening in the reloading world. That’s what competition and innovation does.
