Mike,

I can't speak to the durability, though our former CServe moderator liked it. I've have put just under 5000 rounds through it and find no problems other than what I would expect to be normal cleanup.

I have had problems with the pin in the RCBS resizing/depriming die.

I would also like to go to roll crimp and will probably pick up a set of Hornady dies as I've heard good comments on them. I've been doing taper crimp with copper plated bullets, but find that is probably neither necessary nor desirable.
