[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1808245, member: 26227"] *munches popcorn and starts to snicker* wow, I have never seen such a diverse set of posts. FYI, I have heard that RCBS will bushing your Rockchuckers to make them like new. this would go with any other press with lots of slop. I once worked for a machine shop where 90% of us were hunters and reloaders. you should have seen the precision single stages we all had. if it had problems with offset, consentricity, run out, ram was out of round and all kinds of stuff. it got fixed. we bushinged the bodies with brass bushings, put grease fittings on the bodies, and did some things I am still in awe of. I kind of wish I had not sold that Redding O-press. I take real exception to Lee equipment. I have had a boat load of it and found Lee to be utterly inferior. I think the Lee Loaders my father had made better ammo than anything else they made. Most every other press I have had, tried, used or helped friends with was very decent. my personal preference is the Dillon Equipment. not to say I have never used anything else, I have. RCBS was good stuff. I think for a single stage that Redding is better. the best single stage I ever used was a C&H. I still have that boat anchor set up for 25 ACP and 32 ACP. for turrets Hollywood is the best, Redding comes in second, RCBS third. as for new presses that I have encountered/used.. the top of the heap has to be the Iron Press from Hornady. If I had the spare money for it and did not have the C&H I wold buy one. the Co-Ax from forster.. I just do not like it. personal thing about the case holder that makes me cringe. I do not trust C-presses. I've broken C-presses resizing anything big like 40-85, 45-70, 300 win, RUM's, GIBBS, and the alike. [/QUOTE]
