    I've been using Lee for twenty years with out a problem.

    I have one set of RCBS dies for the 30-30 and I can't see where they are any better then my Lee dies.

    But, I do buy Hornady lock rings for my rifle dies that I use in my single stage press.

    I use only Lee dies.hing, your $ goes farther with Lee. You can get two die sets for the cost of one by others.

    I've used Lyman, Hornady, RCBS, Lee and Redding dies for many years and haven't had any problems with any of them. All are good quality products.

    I've been using Lee carbide dies for the last couple of year - they work fine and seem to hold settings just fine over a session. I may look into getting some lock rings though, just in case. Hard to justify paying twice the price, sometimes even more than that, for dies which aren't going to work all that much differently.

    Using Lee Deluxe pistol die sets for .357 Magnum and .45ACP on the classic turret.

    No problems with having to reset each time, I just make sure I tighten them down good when initially setting them up.

    I use a Lee Classic Turret for .308, .223, .40 S&W and .45 acp without any problems and some excellent accuracy. Would highly recommend them.
     
    I run Lee on single stage, turret and my Dillon 550B heads. I do throw away the rubber ring and cinch them down tight by turning the ring upside down before tightening. I can load 40+ calibers and 4 gauges and at least half of them are done with Lee.

    Great value for the money!!
