[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 964186, member: 51650"] There are other threads on this. I use an old Rock Chucker from 1978. My youngest has a Breach Lock Lee Classic Cast and it is spot on for ram alignment. We bought it at Cabela's when they had their presses bench mounted in the showroom for people to have some hands on. Peering down the die threads/ breach locks the Hornady and Lee were spot on with the ram raised. The three turret presses and the Rock Chucker were off ever so slightly. Both the Hornady and Lee are about $130 and require the breach lock fittings specific for their press. But other than that I like them both. Sometimes you can find an old USA made Rock Chucker at a garage sale/ estate sale. They are 3 11/16" from ram to the underside of the frame (total frame opening without a shell holder in place) with the ram all the way down. The new Chinese ones are more than 4" as I recall. An easy test with a pocket tape measure with a blade no wider than 1/2". Just my $0.02 KB [/QUOTE]
