[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2355344, member: 93138"] Most folks are of the mindset that everything has to be locked down and rigidly fixed to produce top tier ammo, but that is not the only way to do it. If everything can float and moves easily, then they will self-align. From my analysis of the design the key to the Coax is that everything has to be able to float. If one thing is fixed or won't easily move then you're not likely to get the desired results. My Rock Chucker came to me used. I know that it has produced 50k worth of .357 Mag rounds because the previous owner had the end flaps from the bricks of primers to prove it (he told me that he'd nearly flame cut thru the top strap of an 8-3/8" S&W 5 screw M27). Lord only knows how many rounds of other calibers it has made. The ram to body fit is now loose enough that I doubt that it can make extremely low run-out ammo. I have pondered boring it out and inserting linear bearings or having the ram flame-sprayed and centerless ground to the new diameter, but I think that I'll just use the Coax instead. [/QUOTE]
