[QUOTE="Three44s, post: 1101819, member: 43573"] Lynxpilot is loading 50 bmg with one of the presses. Otherwise, one press would be fine. Other's do in fact set up two or even three single stage presses and don't have to back out one die for another ....... they just set up each die in a press and move press to press. That's set of dies for one caliber in a series of presses. If you are looking for accuracy in rifle and still using a conventional press then the Coax is the best on your list. The RC is a very good press but for the money, the Lee Classic cast is more press for less. I have the Classic turret from Lee and it's not going anywhere but you watch the turret as a cartridge moves into any die and you see a movement as it lifts first on the side where the die is that's being engaged and then more as the turret fully seats itself in the top of it's movement regime. That's why a Coax gets my nod even though I don't own one yet. You have snap in and snap out die change and a limited float that still retains alignment. The RC and Lee Classic single stage presses are screw in or lock in die engagement and therefor, self-alignment is not allowed. I have the Hornady LNL progressive and like it a lot ....... it will never be my "accuracy" press ......... they are built for volume. They will produce accurate ammo ...... but not in the realm of long range rifle. My main single stage is a Redding Boss and I would trade it for a Coax in a heartbeat ..... it's a good press but the coax is a great press. Three 44s [/QUOTE]
