I have used a RCBS for over 30 years with no problems, plus they have a life time warranty(they even cover depriming pins).If I was only reloading 1-200 rounds a month I would not hesitate to buy or recommend this press to anyone. You can always upgrade to the electronic powder drop and digital scale later, as for dies start with the x dies rather than upgrade for the few extra bucks it will cut some time off your reloading.
