Looking For New Press

How about the Area 419 Zero press? It's a HUGE step up in price but worth it in my opinion. It has replaced all my presses except for my ancient RockChucker and Dillon650. Primer management is well thought out and the best I've seen.

Unfortunately price increases seem to be larger and more frequent than what you'd expect.

Edit: I forgot to mention that Area 419 sell machined die lock rings which may address your concern about repeatability in your current turret press. But again, they are absurdly expensive. I have a few but can't justify the cost any longer. Do they square the dies up better than standard lock rings? Absolutely but the cost vs improvement pill is tough to swallow. I've recently discovered that Newlon Precision sells machined lock rings at $10 usd each. I'm now going that route the next time I put in a Newlon die order.

Yup, I like the ergonomics and the spent primer handling is solid. I've used mine for full length sizing and depriming Lakeside MG 7.62 cases in one step and it was not at all hard to run through a hundred at a time.

I also have a BigMax, and it is an absolute beast! However, I really don't like having to feed it from the front, in fact, I usually feed it from the back.
