I also choked at the RCBS price, although I fully understand it, as stated above.

I went with the lee set, for the X25, it's the old equasion "Price, divided by quality, equals value". The Lee set ain't near as purty as the RCBS, but when properly set up and used, in conjunction with the Lee "factory crimp die" the results are very satisfactory.

I have over 100 different die sets in house. The overwhelming manufacturer of choice is RCBS. That said, all the dies give good results, or they get traded off and replaced with another manufacturer's effort. Precision tooling is expensive, you pay's your money and takes your choice...
