[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1582286, member: 31264"] Yes, personally I do think the single stage press is more accurate and stronger too. Less moving parts, less to go wrong, KISS approach. But I have no data to prove that. Just my engineering gut sense. I have no experience with the Hornady Die Bushing System and can't vouch for it. It appears to replace the oversize die bushing in the press so it ought to work with other presses like RCBS and Redding. If it floats a bit it could help improve concentricity. I doubt it would make things worse. On the flip side, those bushings could get darn expensive if you have a lot of different cartridges. You need one bushing for each and every die you own. I guess you could swap bushings but that kinda defeats the purpose of quick change. It might also mean your dies don't fit your die storage boxes anymore. I would hate that. But this does remind me that I really like the Hornady die lock rings. They have a great clamping system and they work with all other makes of dies. And you can get a great die lock wrench at Sinclair's that makes installing and remocing screw-in dies easy. I buy them in bulk and gave them on all my dies. If you can get the bushings in bulk, the price might get reasonable. That said, screwing dies in and out of a press is not onerous at all. After a while you get really good at spinning them on and off. So the locking bushing is no real great advantage. [/QUOTE]
