[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1447984, member: 78762"] Any single stage will make accurate ammo. The key is diagnosing problems with in the system and fixing it. The same with any die. Scales can be faulty, so a scale should be vetted with a known accurate standard. Trimmers can measure off of different areas of the brass, so they can vary in accuracy depending on brass quality, and how well brass springs back after sizing and certain ones use the case rim to anchor to the trimmer and depending on brass quality, it can vary the case length. With all that said, I like my CO-AX I like bushing dies, and I also like collet and body dies. I use the Hornady new dimension seater, without the micro adjust, because i buy one for a individual rifle, so once set up it never gets changed. I like my 5-0-5 scale, it does it’s job well, admittedly I had trouble with it drifting, but diagnoses and remedy fixed it. I don’t have any trouble with my Hornady trimmer, but it leaves a lot to be desired, I use the best quality brass I can find so it helps with the faulty design. The best advice I can give, is buy the best rifle and brass you can afford, then get diagnostic tools like a good crony, and a concentricity gauge like the RCBS case master, which is what I have. Anneal often and effectively, debur flasholes, then you can make any set up work for you. I can use my Rockchucker and standard RCBS dies and make ammo as good as I can with my CO-AX and expensive dies, I know this, because I do so often. [/QUOTE]
