[QUOTE="Firecat, post: 462807, member: 22600"] Andy, I found several problems with the Hornady press. These are problems for me but may not be for others. For one the ram linkage and handle assembly seemed loose and sloppy. The actual ram itself was not super sloppy but enough to make me wonder. The second problem I noticed was with the bushings themselves. They do not remain tight. Especially when you are full length resizing. I also noticed when resizing that the bushings had a small amount of vertical play. Even a couple of thousandths will have an effect. This problem was mainly noticed when the die began to loosen up. I just got tired of having to check the die for tightness after every one or two rounds. Every ten to fifteen maybe, but not every one or two. For a beginner or a casual undiscriminating reloader, this will be a good press. However, when trying to achieve every ounce of accuracy, it just doesn't cut it for me. [/QUOTE]
