What Makes Guys Choose the HORNADY Clone of the RCBS AmmoMaster?
I am just wondering if there's a difference between the HORNADY product
http://www.hornady.com/store/50-Cal-BMG/

and the RCBS AmmoMaster other than the color of the paint? Confused

Certainly looks the same. I have a AMMOMASTER, great press for anything you want to do with a ss. The prices are very comperable, the RCBS being a bit cheaper. Maybe it's the LNL bushings for the Hornady?

my original post was wrong .. the hornday, on midway, is 302 ish ... somewhat cheaper than the rcbs .. and the full kit is hundreds less ...

i really prefer hornady stuff ... largely because of the huge bullets they are making NOW ...

Uh.. the links show the RCBS at $700 something and the Hornady at $300 something.

What was your question?
