[QUOTE="Seabeeken, post: 3050666, member: 68015"] Many years ago I recall reading about a test where a gent tested a sloppy press against a tight press. He found the sloppy press loaded more accurate ammo with the reasoning being the sloppy press allowed things to float which put the die in control as it should be. The die is the important thing. I had a Redding die that induced .010 neck runout in both my Forster and Redding BB2 presses. No matter the level of alignment or float would make it better. The die was in control. The Wilson arbor press dies also prove this out. I took my Forster off the bench this week and boxed it. It doesn't load ammo any more accurate than my BB2 and the shell plates take too long to change compared to standard shell holders. I can change dies almost as fast with the lee breech lock as I can with the Forster. The BR shooter across the street wins most all of the matches he shoots in and is using a very old rusty RCBS RC press and is set up working out of an old spring house in the back yard. I'd recommend spending the big bucks on precision dies. Once that case is in the die it doesn't matter if that ram has some movement JMO [/QUOTE]
