As a Hornady lover, I would say buy the RCBS kit. I like most of what Hornady makes. ., but RCBS balance scales are the best. Hornady scales leave me wanting for more accuracy and sensitivity. The RCBS press has a slight advantage too. Hornady one shot is a better lube system. Also Hornady has easier dies to use and the LNL is a nice deal.
In the end, I would choose RCBS because of the scale, or sell the Hornady scale on Ebay and buy an RCBS 5-10 off Ebay which is better than either kit scale!

I have been using RCBS since 1982, no regrets.

The only thing I use is turret presses. The main reason I use them is I reload for several different calibers/cartridges, and with turret presses you can have a turret for each individual cartridge, that means I keep each turret in a tupperware container along with shellholders and "dummy" cartridges,along with everything else specific to that cartridge. That keeps all the dies screwed in, adjusted, and locked so that I never have to screw each die in and out for every step/operation/or different cartridge. All you need to do is adjust dies, and when changing caliber/cartridge, just change turrets.

If you go progressive, I would suggest not getting a kit. I would suggest a Hornady LNL progressive press, an RCBS 10-10 scale, a Wilson case trimmer, and a Lyman case prep tool. You will need other parts, but those are favorites along with Hornady Pistol dies and Forster rifle dies.

Forgot to say I've been using RCBS products since 1972 with GREAT service, and on the ONLY 3 times I needed to deal with customer service, they WELL exceeded my expectations, replacing all 3 items for brand new with NO questions.
