I have primarily an RCBS setup which I have only loaded for 1 caliber (6.5x55 SE). I have been mostly happy with it but I wonder if my brand loyalty, mainly for the sake of sticking with the same brand, is warranted. I'm planning on purchasing a 7mm Remington Magnum and would like to acquire the dies, powders, and primers ahead of time to be ready for when I purchase the gun. This has me thinking about if I should just grab the RCBS green box dies or if some other die would be better.
I don't have any gripes with RCBS, and in fact their customer service has been awesome. I'm just wondering if for "standard uses" (Hunting & Target practice) if people are partial to a particular brand of die?
For non-competition, hunting and range use what are the best "standard grade" dies?
RCBS green box? Lee Collet or Normal? Redding? Hornady? Forester? Lyman?
Is there an appreciable difference or is it just user preference?
