Reloading Presses, what's everybody using?

What we're you using before? What kind of dies are you using in the forester? Are you measuring run out?

My first press was a Hornady LnL press. (The one you get with their beginner's kit.) For my .260 Remington, I am using Redding Series A dies. No, I am not measuring run out. Having said that, the way that the Forster holds the case and the dies allow them to shift a tiny amount so that they will automatically self adjust to be in proper alignment.

The big things that I noticed are that I am able to produce more consistent ammunition (After sizing, my brass is all more consistent, and when done, my COAL is much more consistent.) at a faster rate and that changing the dies takes only a second or two.

The results are also noticeable in the performance. I do not shoot competitively, but I did notice that my groupings were tighter with ammo reloaded on the Forster. The big thing though is the consistency from one round to the next.

Not sure if that helps or not. For any of the other folks out there with a Forster please share your thoughts.
 
Love my Dillon 1050! It is a big step up, and hugely complicated to set up properly and to keep everything aligned and flowing smoothly, but wow can it pump out the hand gun ammo! Plus there is something hypnotic about pulling that lever and seeing all the stuff that goes on at once, lol....
 
The RockChucker has been running like a champ for about 20 years for rifle rounds for both me and my dad, I wouldn't even be able to guess as to how many rounds it's made over the years. My Dillon 550b has only been setup for a couple months now but for pistol rounds it is exactly what I need!
