My $.02. I started reloading '06 beause the wife thought $12.50 for a box of silver tips was too much.

It's been down hill since.

I started with the RCBS kit and still to this day use most of what came in the kit.

I have owned some Lee equipment and I do prime with a Lee auto prime. However I have learned for example Lees shell holders are not machined to as tight of tolerance as RCBS's.

I would vote for the RCBS kits, buy once, cry once.
