[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 406116, member: 1521"] A hand die is fully free-floated because it's not screwed into and restrained(at whatever alignment) by a press. Nor is there any linkage causing travel tolerances. You press the cartridge FULLY into a chambered hand die a number of ways. Most commonly, with an arbor type press, which is just a piston on a rack & pinnion. Alternately, you could use your hand or a soft hammer(at the range). So hand dies along with a hand de-capper, hand primer, and Harrel's powder thrower, are easy to use at the range. The main advantage(as far as seating), is the free-floating. A Redding(or anything else) might seat as well as a Wilson, but not better. Afterall, how will you seat 'better'? [/QUOTE]
