I have used, C&H, RCBS, LEE, Redding, Lyman& Hornady Dies. The only ones I have had issue with is the Hornady set the Decaping spindle always wants to slide down and not stay locked (pain in the rear). Lyman and Lee are always the cheapest, I have loaded thousands of rounds thru my RCBS and Lyman dies all of my Pistol dies are LEE Carbide really work well. Lee's are nice as they come with the shell holder really handy. For the occasional reloader they work fine. If you are going to shoot 4,000 rounds of say .308 and use Lee dies for it.... butfor the hunting reloader they will be fine.
