[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 565577, member: 24624"] Personal preference on my part. ...perhaps all in my head. I never have to flip the jaws around to accomodate varying cartridges and the shell holders swap out quickly. When using collet dies, I feel like the shell holders give a more uniform compression as the jaws seem to flex if used with collet dies. I also feel like the base of the cartridge centers under the die more freely using shell holders. But, Gary's mod probably alleviates that if there's any truth to it at all. If the jaws seem awkward, you might try the mod that Gary described. Or, order the Forster adapter and give it a try. The main down side I can see is that the dies sit just that much higher in the press. But, even the redding and rcbs micrometer dies still clear the handle. The primer seater is hands down the best I've ever used for consistency. -- richard [/QUOTE]
