How Dies Are Made: RCBS Inside Look

First saw this on the SASS Wire forum, yesterday. Very interesting look into how RCBS makes its own dies, tooling etc. For those of us who own and use RCBS reloading gear, it's plain from watching the video why their products are top notch. Quality control is so good.

Cool!

Always liked their standard dies, never had an issue. Standard seating die is as lame as Lee's, prefer something better there, Forster is my go to there.
Not that those lame cheap seaters can't produce good ammo, they are ok, I've had really good results with Hornady's seater, just slightly different mechanics then the RCBS/LEE seaters.

I do prefer hornady seating dies over RCBS too

RCBS dies are good. Never had any problems with their seaters. Bought a few Hornady sets and have become a fan of their seater die. One thing I do like is they also work on any case close to the same length so my 6.5 Creed gets used on multiple different 6.5’s.

I have always liked RCBS. Their rifle dies have always treated me well. 1000's upon 1000's have been loaded in them. I have a few Reddings as they seem to have more odd stuff.
