[QUOTE="coyotewillie, post: 2266546, member: 117877"] I've made a reloading bench by ripping 2x10's and gluing up the strips in butcher block configuration 2" thick. I then routed out a 10"x10" square 1" deep. I butcher block laminated 1" thick plates to fit, mounted my presses and my Hornady case prep center to them. 4 bolts go through the plates into inserts in the bench top. I have an RCBS RC that I leave my 338LM dies in, and a Lyman T-mag with 2 extra turrets. Only takes about 30 seconds to switch out a turret, the presses, or the trimmer. Also have a Lee turret for pistol cartridges. But, after reading the 2019 multi-page thread on the Forster Co-ax, I've been considering getting one of them. Well, a while back I see Midsouth had them in stock and thought what the heck! Ordered one. Got it set up and have been trying it on a few calibers. After trying the Forster I believe it will be my main press. Obviously I don't reload some of the calibers very often, but I'd still need AT LEAST 1 more extra turret and I'd probably still have some left over dies then. I've really liked the Lyman but the Co-ax is just so simple. Looks like I'll keep the RCBS and sell the Lyman/turrets! So, I have a few Lee collet dies and they use the lock collar with the rubber O-ring keeper. Now, they'll fit in the Co-ax, although snuggly, sitting on the rubber O-ring. Do you Lee die users change out the lock rings on the Lee's? Or do you feel that there's enough float with the O-ring not to cause any alignment issues? [/QUOTE]
