Have used nothing but Lee since the mid '80s and have not had any issues.

The one time I went with RCBS was for a universal depriming die. Broke 4 pins in a row before it went into the junk bin. Have NEVER broken a Lee pin.

BTW...I reload for 9mm; 7.62x25; 9mm Mak; 45 ACP and 45 Colt as well as 223/5.56.

I also agree that the factory crimp die is a must for any reloader.

Finally, and somewhat sadly, a lot of people equate inexpensive to mean low quality. This is one of the reasons that some simply hate Lee, assumptions, not facts.
