Me too, but lately I have gone to getting Redding when ever I get new dies. Have Simplex, Hornady, RCBS, Redding

I'm ashamed to say it but for the 223 and 308 I have Lee dies atm and RCBS for the 300Win.

RCBS, LEE, REDDING and HORNADY the limiting factor with them all is me more than the dies

I don't like the lee dies anymore but I'll happily use hornady or redding. Having said that, all my dies are redding at the moment except for 30 and 22 cal hornady neck dies only.

Why ashamed, do they make your ammo shoot like shit!

I use multiple brand types as that what came with a rifle and another with reamer etc.

But the others are Lee RGB and collet sets and all shoot well still.

Nah not at all they are OK for the money, first thing I do with them is put Hornady Lock Rings on them!

In the old days mainly RCBS and simplex all of the dies I've bought in the last
10 years have been Redding.

Not so much a comment on which dies I use but more on which I do not.
My first foray into neck sizing only was with a hornady die. Accuracy went out the window and after much searching and aggravation found that the die was making the necks run out, that was the fist Hornady die I ever purchased and will be the last.

Mainly RCBS not really based on being better dies, but more simply availability. But I have had a good run with lee, redding and hornady.
