Thread: Im taking the plunge, Lyman or RCBS??

    Mine a 15 year old Lyman. It lost a heating element early on, which was replaced under warranty, and has been trouble free ever since. I won't bad mouth RCBS, but you might double-check the country of origin, just to be safe. I hope they're still being made in the U.S., but not everything RCBS makes is so blessed.

    Thats my biggest concern anachronism, That their made in the good ol' USA. Believe it or not I would rather spend 50 bucks more knowing it was made with American labor and not some foreign worker making it for 2 bucks an hour. I like to see the American flag on what I buy and wish everything was still made here. It looks like im going with the RCBS Pro-Melt when I can get the funds for it but im going to rework an old Lyman 61 to keep me going for a while till I can convince the wife I need another reloading toy.LOL. Thats the hard part but what she dont know wont hurt her either.
