[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 3049864, member: 122164"] I have three rockchuckers, two years ago, a friend gave me a Redding Boss. I love the BOSS! Whatever you use, it is a good idea to have a run-out gauge to check how straight the necks are being sized and bullets seated, assume nothing. Some dies and occasional shell holders are pure junk, striving for .002 and under will pay some dividends on paper targets. I had a Co Ax. Many of the loads I shoot are hot, web swells where I need a lot of "cam over" on the full-length sizing. Co Ax are not worth a darn for this issue, but straight ammo with the Co Ax is impressive to say the least, especially when you get Forster dies where they hone the neck dia to the size you want...glory...you have to see it to believe it. You suddenly realize that bushing dies cock necks, some crooked as a dog's hind leg! Wilson's press dies are a different animal, also. As a machinist, I prefer to have a separate press instead of a turret head press where the alignment could be helter-skelter. Possible misalignment issues make my head hurt just thinking about it, but they are handy. You do not need expensive equipment but Learn to do Proper QC on your finished ammo. [/QUOTE]
