Never had a problem with Lee. I would recommend that you get a Lyman two stp M die, though. You’ll need one sooner or later for cast bullets.

Disarming is a mistake free people only get to make once...
Lee with the neck sizer die. Proper expander from NOE.
If you are happy with RCBS theres no reason not to continue with them. I would buy a separate Lyman "M" die since you plan to load cast.
I use RCBS or Lyman 30-30 dies with an "M" expander for cast boolet loads. The Lyman dies date from my first experience with hand loading....JFK had just been elected. The "M" die was a much later acquisition.

RCBS Cowboy die sets come with the expander die that you need for cast bullets so it just makes sense to me to start there.
