[QUOTE="redleg1013, post: 2355281, member: 49994"] I had a RockChucker that wasn't made here, and I could watch the top of the press flex while using it, I put an indicator on it and the ram would deviate almost .015 (because of the flex). I switched over to a Co-Ax B2 (I believe they are on revision B5 now) about ten years ago and have never looked back. If I want to watch a needle move for TIR I use my tenths indicator. Going to the rings for a moment, they are made of aluminum for a reason, not strictly because they are cheaper, but because they will compress before they potentially damage the die slot in the press from setting the cam over too high. I use Lee, Hornady, Redding and Forster dies and they all just work, now granted I'm not putting an indicator on the pistol cartridges, but they aren't getting stopped from gaging so I don't worry about it. So through all that I say, if you're getting better results, for how you load, through an RCBS, by all means use that; and I'm sure you can twist someone's arm here to take that Co-Ax off your hands.
