re: OB, I need advice on this reloading kit

I imagine that would be the same case for any universal decapping die. I'm referring to resizing dies with a decapping rod. The RCBS design is better since you can change out the decapping pin without having to replace the entire rod. With the Lee dies, the decapping pin is integral to the rod and must be swapped out together.

Agreed. The only advantage is with RCBS you can still size the case without the deprimer.

The RCBS hand primer is a one-time cost whereas the Lee primer is $15 per cartridge you choose to load. So if you want to load 9mm, 40, and 45, the Lee will be $35 plus $45 in shell holders. The RCBS will stay at $50.

Negative. $15 gets you every shell holder you could possibly need for the hand primer. Its a set. I used the Lee ergo primer which is $35, but if you went with the $20 hand primer you are back at $35 which is still cheaper than the Rcbs
