The only brass I've seen mangled has been by shitty operation of the press and seen it done with Lee, Lyman, RCBS, Hirbady and Dillon dies. Managed a few dinged and crushed shells myself. Never thought it was the dies fault. Maybe if I was benchrest or long distance shooting I'd buy Redding or Forster. Any difference between finished product from the others is beyond my humble discernment. The goats, rabbits, hare, magpies and deer don't seem to notice either. I do like some rifle dies operation better than others e g the Hornady bullet seater. But still can't think how a Lee die destroys brass all other things being equal
