I don't have an opinion on the machine, although I use a Lyman 450 and Lyman 45, but I prefer the Lyman dies and that is because Lyman has the series of holes in the die and they seem better for shorter bullets as you don't have to push them in as deep to get where the lube dispenses in the groove. RCBS dies have the four holes, but they have a groove inside the die that connects the holes. I don't like that because it's a possiblity that a gascheck can snag on it in addition to the statement I made about the Lyman die. My setups don't leak either.
