I picked mine up piecemeal. Some is RCBS, some is LEE, some is Foster, some is Hornady and some is Huntington. I bought what I needed when I either found it or could afford it. The only thing I was really serious about being specialized was the press. I needed something I could load really long shells in since I had a double rifle at the time. So I got an RCBS press that could handle 50 BMG. More than needed for most reloaders but the brass alone for my double was 3 1/4 inches long and a loaded round was a little over 4 inches long. The average everyday press can't handle shells that long.
