I got an RCBS trickler about 43 yrs ago with my Rockchucker kit, I don't remember the details exactly anymore, but, I flat out didn't like using it, and wound up using Lee dippers. I found I could trickle just as accurately and probably faster with the small Lee dipper, I was using them to load the scale anyway. I know I gave that trickler to somebody that was starting out. Never had a desire for one since.
Can't say as I ever had any issues with Lyman stuff either, used a 55 measure for a while, went to a BR3, had a L'il Dandy, worked OK. Used a bunch of their casting tools, M dies, a few die sets, and a few moulds, my 20lb elec pot is about 34-35 yrs old, probably done about 35-40k bullets out of it.
Had way more issues with Hornady tools. Their old M scale is good though.
