I have always bought Hornady Cartriges and such. Which manufacturer is well known for their quality reloading equipment? This question is a little tricky because everyone likes one or the other. But just like guns.....there has to be a top group of manufacturers with someone sitting on top.
Some will say Dillon. They are the most expensive. But they are a progressive which I only use for pistol ammo. I guess for single stage the rock chucker RCBS is top of the line. As far as dies, dillon and redding are considered the best. I have yet to buy any. I pretty well stick with RCBS.
im also primarilly an rcbs loader , i started with the rock chucker kit .and added some rcbs options . i also have a few lee items , a press that i use only for decapping primers , and one of their hand primers . which i love.
With the exception of a Lyman tumbler that i got at a steal from a friend everything i have is RCBS including dies. When my tumbler quits my next one will be RCBS. I have always had good service with their products.
