[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1792752, member: 2736"] Loading a wide variety of cartridges up to the 50 bmg (Which takes a bigger press) I have had very good luck and accuracy with the Rock Chucker Supreme and have loaded some of the smallest of cartridges with it. The problem I found with it was it had very little feel because of it's strength and felt I needed a little more finesse for the smaller cartridges. I have a good friend convince me that the forester coax would load better ammo. always wanting to see if I can improve on anything I bought one and began testing it's worth. I had already bought several concentricity tools that proved that I needed to improve my loading quality so armed with these tools, I started comparing the two presses. What I found was that cases with a capacity of less than 80 grains average did better on the forester, the largest cases that needed lots of power to size them did better with the Rock Chucker. So I now have two presses and generally load the smaller cartridges on the forester and most of the time get zero concentricity with an occasional - .001. The big cartridges do well on the Rock Chucker from Zero to .002 on average and shoot very good. I also still like the Rock Chucker for pulling bullets and sizing. When I can, I seat most bullets with the forester, It seems to do a better job at seating concentric bullets. I use both and would not sell ether one. Just My observations J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
