Bullwnkl: <br> <br>Thanks for the info....I know any of them will work but some seem to be better than others. I do believe in going a "used" route if I can find a good deal. <br> <br>Thanks again, <br> <br>Elwood

Elwood, even though nobody else mentioned it, I have used a RCBS Jr. for about 35 years now and have no complaints about it. It is a good solid "O" style press with very little spring.

Now that you mention it, I use a rockchucker for most everything, but also use a RCBS Partner press that I used to mount to a kitchen table when I needed portability and it has handled some good size cases.

My primary press is a RCBS A-2. As Ken Howell said I have never seen a used one for sale. <br> <br>I would get a RCBS Rockchucker if I were you.

Elwood <br> <br>Guess I will turn in a shout for the RCBS "Rock Chucker" it has been very dependable without a hitch in its work done over 20 pluse years. I use it for all my precision type reloading work, magnum shell cases have never caused an ounce of bother. My Dillion 650 is great for speed and quantity on pistol shells or 223 foder. Still in all, the Rock Chucker rules at my bench.

I JUST BOUGHT A DILLION RL550B PROGRESSIVE RELOADER AND LOVE IT IT WILL RELOAD 500 TO 600 ROUNDS OF MATCH GRADE AMMO AN HOUR CHECK OUT DILLION BEFORE YOU GO WITH A SINGLE STAGE PRESS. ITS MADE WITH VERY HIGH QC STANDARDS CAN BE SOME WHAT PRICEY BUT SIT DOWN AND FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU GOT WRAPPED UP IN SINGLE STAGE EQUIPTMENT. SEE THEM ON THE WEB AT THE BLUE PRESS.COM.

I use a couple of Redding (6) station turret presses. <br> <br>One of which may find itself for sale. <br> I may post in classifieds.

for a single stage press a Forster Co-ax is hard to beat. I have a Dillon 550b for loading match .223, but all of my bolt gun ammo is loaded with the Co-ax.

Folks: <br> <br>I wanted to report back on my final selection. I went with the Forster Co-Ax and it's great. I got it day before yesterday and mounted it last night. I resized a few .220 Swift just to get the feel of it. Real nice. I especially like the quick die change and the fact that you don't have to have shell holders. Yeah, real nice. <br> <br>Thanks for all your great advice. I'm sure any of the presses recommended would have fit the bill but believe I'll be satisfied with this one for a long time. <br> <br>Elwood
