[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 2363900, member: 99039"] I have the Frankford M Press, it has worked out good for me, I upgraded from an old Lyman All American turret press I had that had a lot of slop in it. I like the M -Press it does what I want it to do, runout varies from a low of .0005 to as high as .004. I am not sure if the press or the dies are causing it, but I normally see .001 to .003. If you are getting .001 consistently, I would not bother with finding another press. What I like about the M Press, the integrated light, the primer catch, no shell holders required. What I don't care for is not being able to use certain dies, one die I have to manipulate to work is the Forester Micro Seater die, the upper die body is fatter than the bottom die, this causes it to not fit with the upper screwed down tight to the bottom portion of the die. What I did was unscrew the upper porrtion until it clears the press body, which is roughly two turns. This allows me to use the die, I did see on Johnny reloading bench, someone mentions using a shell holder in the jaws to give the case a little more depth for the die, this may work by allowing me to screw the upper die body down to it's normal position, I have not tried it, but looks like a work around. The Hornady micro adjuster dies I understand will not work, they are too tall and hit the yoke on the handle when lowering, the Redding Micro Adjustable die works fine. [/QUOTE]
