[QUOTE="Aldon, post: 459122, member: 20047"] Forster is my default. Their Benchrest dies are great. The micrometer dies are a luxury that are nice but you can get by with benchrest seaters. I have decided I actually prefer the non-Micrometer Benchrest dies for my needs. I use an older Ohaus manuel powder measure marketed before RCBS bought them. I like balance beam scale but will likely upgrade to RCBS chargemaster set up when I decide speed is a priority. I am focused on consistent from round to round....not that they are mutually exclusive, but spending budget forces priotization based on whats important to each of us. I will eventually get into reloading pistol but for rifle, I really like the Forster Co-Ax press, then I would consider the Redding UltraMag, then there are a multitude of others that will work well for you. If I were to go the route of the ultramag, I would look into if the Hornady LNL quickchange bushings would work in the press. The quick changing of dies and ease of set up along with strength and accuracy of the press is why I went with Forster. Someone with experience with the bushings will have to chime in as it might level the playing field a bit. Good luck and enjoy. [/QUOTE]
