I purchased a set of Lyman 38 Super Dies for around $36. It proved the old adage.... "you get what you pay for." I have had continued problems with the seating/crimping die. Lyman's response is " buy a separate crimping die".

RCBS doesn't need to do this. In fact... I took my RCBS 9mm seating/crimping die and used it for the 38 Super (yes, you can do this safely, according to RCBS) No problem whatsoever. I won't purchase any more Lyman dies.

RCBS, Redding and Hornady. In that order. Just my opinion. RCBS and Redding are equal in quality, but Redding asks for more money.
