I purchased a used RCBS, and used it for about 30 years, Finally the bottom fell out of it. I now have a 10 pound LEE, as I don't cast as much anymore. It works, but not as well as the RCBS, and if you are casting a lot, spend the money. I became friends with the RCBS casting guy for the occassional repairs along the way. Excellent service support!

I also used the paper clip spout cleaner. I held a large paperclip in a vise grip with an inch protruding upwards.

Along the way I used a lot of range pick-up lead. The only trouble was when the RCMP practiced with Black Talon bullets.  That stuff was HORRIBLE; - and likely dangerous. it formed a messy, stinky GOO. I had to empty, strip and manually clean the whole thing.
