    The only thing rubbish about the Lee RGB or Pacesetter Dies is the advise your local gun shop gave you.

    I'd also bet the guy that gave you this advise has never even used Lee Dies.

    Giving out shit advise like this suggests he probably only ventures out past the end of his shop counter to "Fetch His Cloth".

    I have used and still own Lee RGB & Pacesetter Dies in many calibres for well over 30 years now and give them a triple thumbs up

    I did a test a few years ago with a 243 load using the Lee Classic Loader, Lee RGB Dies, RCBS Dies and Forster Dies.

    Loaded 3 rounds with each of the different dies to the same specs as my favourite load.

    The results once I had pull the trigger on them all were indistinguishable from each other with operator error being the only significant variable I could see.

    But the only way to really know if the Lee RGB Dies will work for you is to spend the $60 and test them out.

    But don't buy them off your local guy .............. he had his chance.

    You won't be disappointed.

    Cheers
