[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 357020, member: 9215"] "Slop doesn't matter. It's just a matter of closing your eyes and clicking your heels together three times. Of course, holding your mouth just right doesn't hurt either. " Win, from your "tongue in cheek" response I assume you disagree that a modest amount of looseness in a press ram fit IS determentail? If so, I would ask why/how? Seems IF a tight ram-to-press fit were in fact helpful to accuracy the serious BR croud would be using rigidly fitted presses and wrench installed dies; they don't. Instead, they use un-threaded "hand dies" and push their cases in and out of them with light arbor presses sitting loosely on the bench top. Are they be wrong to work that way; would they do better if they used tight cast iron presses and firmly installed dies as some of us try hard to do? Or, might they be right and allowing their cases to freely enter the dies with NO external interferience - meaning a lot of "slop" - actually IS a good way to achieve more concentrict, better aligned ammo? And, if so and within rational limits, might the same broad principle for a floating alignment of cases in the dies also be helpful for the rest of us? [/QUOTE]
