Lyman and RCBS lube/sizers use the same dies and top punches. I have used both, and like the Lyman better because of the ratchet type of pressure handle. I never liked the slide-though pressure handle on the RCBS and returned to the Lyman. Starr is a good lube/sizer but the machine itself is costly as are the dies.

Whoops! Addendum: It would seem that others did not like the RCBS push-through pressure handle inasmuch as they seem to have adopted the Lyman-style ratchet.
