What's your feelings on the RCBS line of reloading products?

Like others have said, don't go buying stuff you may or may not need.

Personally, I don't get too hung up on a brand or name.  I've been loading for close to 60 years now and don't think I've got much of anything except maybe an old Pacific upstroke c-press that my grand dad gave me when I was 10-11 years old.  It still works great.  I load several calibers, rifle, pistol and shotgun.  Way too many I might ad, and my equipment ranges from RCBS. Redding, Lyman, Hornady, PW, Dillon, etc.  I don't own any Lee equipment and I think that is a carry over from years long past.  In the early days, Lee equipment was pretty much junk and admittedly that effects my attitude today.  I have been looking at their "factory" seater as I like the concept of the die.  Over time Lee equipment has improved considerably, IMHO.

Good luck; however, take it slow and easy.  Do your homework, before you go digging into the piggy bank.  Also, afetr you have an idea what you want to do, don't hesitate to buy used.  A lot om my die sets have been purchased on ebay.  In fact I just bough a very slightly used three die set of dies for my 454 Casull.  I paid less than half of a good new price.  The dies have seen little use and are in perfect condition.

I can't compare to anything else, because it's all I have but I'm happy with my Rockchucker, Uniflow, hand trimmer (that I hook up to a drill), and scale as well as several dies that are all RCBS. It seems like I have fewer problems that people with other setups report but that's hardly scientific.

What's my feeling? That Lee dies do the job just as well, but for a lot cheaper. Heck, Lee even includes the shellholder....something RCBS doesn't. Not to say I don't have ANY RCBS die sets, but I bought every single one of them used.
