[QUOTE="-WARDOG-, post: 2266751, member: 119077"] Something I realized recently with my Forster even though I've been using it for years. I ran out of Forster stainless lock rings and had to use some cheapy RCBS aluminum lock ring in the Forster. I had to neck down a bunch of .257 Roberts to 6mm Remington. I sized 50 cases and began turning the necks. The neck turning blade was cutting into the shoulder only on one side of the case. I checked the runout of the necks and they were all off .003" (pretty wobbly). I double checked everything and it turns out that the cheapy aluminum lock ring was actually warping due to the leverage of the press. That was causing the case to enter crooked, however slight. I robbed a proper Forster lock ring from another set of dies and it corrected the problem. I threw away all of the cheapy aluminum lock rings and ordered a dozen more Forsters. [/QUOTE]
