I feel most confident with RCBS and reddings quality but I also use some lee stuff when i first got into it I bought the lee aniversary kit I still use everything in it except the scale. The powder throw is decsent but a little flimsy but gets the job done the challenger press is great with carbide pistol dies it actually works alright with most everything except full length rifle sizing when you start doing that you begin to see how it lacks in strength when I saw that I bought a Rock chucker, I'm about to buy a Redding T-7 turret press but it ruins about $180. if you go the Lee road to start out I deffinately recommend using carbide pistol dies since they require no case lube and are pretty easy on the press. Dont be to turned off from lee if you do have a problem with their equipment they have a no haggle customer service. A friend of mine uses the lee challenger press for resizing 45 colt and 454 cassull cases he loaded in the upwards of atleast 10,000 45 long colts with it and atleast 3,000 cassulls with it before he had a problem but the problem he had was with the ram it was misaligning with the dies due to the wear on the aluminum frame even though his 2 year warranty was up they still sent him a new frame for just the cost of shipping. But redding and RCBS will last you a lifetime before you have a problem with one of them, Another press I looked at was a Lee Classic cast its seems to actually be one of the better designs I have ever seen Lee make I have no experience with one but I would almost bet it is just as good if not better then the rock chucker. It also is alot cheaper it is half the price of a rock chucker.
