Dies - Lee vs RCBS

Picked up a .308 RCBS die set for reloading my brother's rifle.

Had a stack of brass, sorted, cleaned, ready to roll. One military crimped primer had been missed in the sort.

Pin snapped, shank bent. To replace it is $12.

Funny thing; Lee's shanks are only $3 to replace, and since they are held in by a collet; they just slide back when they hit something they just can't decap.

Lee has the better design at a better price.
 
I reload on a small volume so for me, Lee are perfect. Have deprimed/resized hundreds of .308,30-06,.303 7.62x39 without any issues, only used Lee lube. Nothing to complain about yet.
