[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 459666, member: 25383"] **I'm going to buy the PACT measurer for two good reasons only 1. made in the USA, and has a life time warranty 2. of all made it's the easiest to clean (unlike Elmer Kieth, I'm not into duplex loads). The newer PACTs are much faster than before, and are still plenty fast enough for 98% of the reloaders **one thing I really don't like about the Forster is when I'm loading very short cases like a 38 special.

I have a little bitty RCBS Partner press sitting right beside my CO-AX, and I will often seat bullets with it. 44mags are not a problem, and I'd hate to think about a .380!! ****so why did I buy the little press in the first place? I do wildcats on a regular basis, and cutting off a case 1/4" is a pain with the Forster, but simple with the Partner.
