re: OB, I need advice on this reloading kit

But regardless of presses, I can tell you without hesitation that RCBS makes a better die set.

I own prob in excess of 30 sets of handloading dies. I've got dies made by Hornady, Lee, RCBS, Forster and Redding; I don't have Lyman dies. Most of my dies say "Lee" on them. I've been very pleased w/ them. I routinely load rifle ammo that's sub-MOA w/ all the different brands, including Lee. Admittedly, Lee dies aren't as nice looking as the others, but I have no qualms buying and using Lee dies. Nevertheless, w/o a doubt I think the highest quality dies I've bought have been made by Redding; many of them are more specialized dies (e.g. micrometer neck diameter dimensions), have a more refined appearance and are more expensive.

RCBS's expanding die is also easier to use since it's not a thru-die where the collar chases the case and you have to slam the rod down to get the shell off of it. I've also found that RCBS seating dies don't start to shave brass off the top of the cases if you decide to give it a slightly tighter crimp, whereas I've noticed this with Lee dies.

I'm not sure what these problems are, but I've not experienced them w/ any of my dies.

And as another aside, the RCBS Universal Priming Tool is superior to the Lee Priming Tool since you don't have to purchase a flat shell holder for every cartridge you choose to load.

True, the RCBS tool doesn't require the shell holder set like the Lee, but the RCBS is usually a little more expensive, about the same expense as the shell holders. For me, it's a wash.
