[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1206619, member: 28965"] My old Rockchucker is getting loose and from being in the basement it has surface rust. "BUT" when you use Redding Competition Shell Holders the shell holders make hard contact with the die. This eliminates any slop in the press and and the case is free to move in the shell holder. Below is a RCBS .223 die equipped with a Forster high mounted floating expander and a Lee lock ring that allows the die to float. And with this setup and my "OLD" 1973 Rockchucker press I'm getting cases with .001 or less neck runout. Bottom line, check your resized cases with a runout gauge for neck runout. Your old Rockchucker may look old and worn but all the really counts is the quality of your resized cases. [IMG]http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o254/bigedp51/IMG_2140_zpsea657d9e.jpg[/IMG] Now think about it, the Forster Co-Ax press allows the die to float and the jaws that hold the case allow the case to float. So I think of my old RCBS Rockchucker as a green floating Co-Ax press. [/QUOTE]
