[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1669035, member: 2736"] There are plenty of good/strong presses that don't deflect a few thousandths when sizing big cases, there are others that do. so in my opinion the way to find out how yours is doing you must first check for concentricity The best way is to check a fired round and find one that has no run out. then mark this case and size it. Then check it again. depending on the procedure and the press you are using you will/may find that now you have .002 to .006 thousandths run out. This will indicate that your press or your procedure Is experiencing problems. If you don't find any run out at this point, go ahead and load the case with primer, powder and bullet. Once again check it for run out and at this point if there IS run out, your bullet seating process has problems and you can work on improving that part. Even though you are not loading big magnum cases, the biggest and strongest press will address the flexing problem but it will not eliminate load procedure problems. I have an RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme that will load everything up to the 50 BMG with ease. I also purchased the Forester Co Ax for loading the smaller cases with finesse. You don't realy need two presses to load excellent ammo But one will do some things better than the other, so I wanted to try to get the best of both worlds. Get the strongest for more consistency.
