Elmo Missouri throws a pretty dang good July 4th party considering the size of the town and I'm going. Its this weekend so I'll be down there Friday - Sunday, but if you wanted to leave those dies in my mailbox for free, that'd be great ;D

Keep checking your mailbox   :-)

SemperFiGuy:
First you have to make a decision:   whether to (a) full-length case resize or (b) neck-resize only.

It will depend upon whether you are of the Black Rifle Cult (full-length resizers) or the True Turnbolt Sub-Sub MOA Shooters (neck resizing).

And whether you shoot the reloaded cartridges in multiple rifles or mate them in sets to their master rifle.

Makes a big difference.

And if you full-length resize, you will need a stuck-case remover kit.   Sooner or later.  You will.  Even with titanium-carbide inserts in your FL die.   (Never mind how I know.)

FWIW

Isn't that the truth.

There are a few differences between the major names in dies.  Hornady has a zip stem.  It is designed to give before the decapping pin breaks.  I find that I have to tighten it to a point where it will not zip inorder to get it to work reliably.

That is the biggest difference I can think of between the die sets I have used.  (RCBS, Hornady and Lee)  RCBS and Hornady have a great warranty.  Lee says two years but I have called to have small parts sent to me well after the two year mark and they didn't hesitate or charge.

Currently I have mostly Hornady and RCBS dies.
