Some fan boys will be along to tell you why "their" brand of dies are sooo much better. I dont think there is a huge amount of difference in one brand over another.
Really, it boils down to consistency. In both seating depth, and concentricity.
Seating depth consistency is NOT to the tip of the bullet, it is to the ogive, where the bullet engages the lands.
Concentricity is not something I have played with a lot.
RCBS will grind you a seating stem to match the shape of the bullet you use. It will make your die even more better in both these areas. Call their customer service to find out about getting this done. I think it was like an additional 30 bucks, and you have to send them three bullets. (You get the bullets back with the seating stem.)
