[QUOTE="MontanaJack, post: 2282151, member: 25389"] I've used lots of presses since I started reloading with my dad back in the 50's. He had Herters, C&H (?), Hollywood, and finally settled on an RCBS Type A press that outlived him. After numerous presses, my 4 are: Mec Metalic, Forster Coax, Redding Big Boss, Dillon XL750, and Mec Grabber 9000 for shotgun shells (sorry rifle guys - I like burning powder in anything with a trigger). For precision long range, I use the Mec Metalic for resizing and the Forster Coax for bullet seating. Dillon for rounds using fine powder, mostly pistol and small rifle. Powder measures are anathema for precision reloading so the Dillon is solely for mass production of less precise ammo. The Mec has a floating shell holder socket as does the Forster. Making bananas out of my brass is a thing of the past. All my 1000 yard plus rounds get cycled through Redding Competition Dies. The other calibers get Lee, RCBS, and Mighty Armory. Used a RCBS Junior starting out on my own, then went with a Rockchucker, moved on to the Redding Big Boss. [/QUOTE]
