Lee is good stuff for the most part. They do have occasional glitches- Their bullet moulds most often need some tinkering with to make work right, their progressive presses aren't made for people who aren't mechanically inclined, and their collet dies sometimes need some tweaking. I buy lee equipment for things that I don't reload as much and have no reason to spend top dollar on and RCBS for everything else. Lee equipment will reload good ammunition, but if you want to do things easier and eliminate glitches, RCBS or Redding is much better if you are willing to pay the premium for their equipment.

For presses, the classic cast is just about impossible to beat in value.

One good thing Lee does is it keeps the more expensive boys honest. If Lee didn't sell workable die sets for under $20 for many years, RCBS dies would probably cost you $75 or more today.
