I have RCBS (a "Big Max") with a universal shellholder ... I like it and would buy it again or a Rockchucker . Universal shell holders are ok .. but can slip off the rim if your expander pull is too heavy.. standard shellholders generally work better.

I also like the Forster Co-Ax press, the Redding Ultramag or The CH Champion if you can find a good price on a used one...these are all single stage and all excellent tools ...don't know anything about the progressives but most folks like Dillon.

I think I have managed to collect samples of most manufacturers dies (RCBS, Forster, Lyman, Lee, Redding etc etc ) I think they are all pretty good .. the Redding have a beautiful finish though
also don't turn your nose up at the Lee Collet dies .. they are very good. Nothing wrong with the Lee dies with the little dipper either.
