Need help with press: T-7, Forester, Harrell or O?

[halvey]

Up until now, I've loaded my rifle ammo "single stage" using my Dillon 550. It worked ok, but I wasn't real happy with runout. There was just too much play in the toolhead. Also, when I changed out shellplates for the caliber conversion, and then switched back, I got a little more runout.

So I am looking for a press. I was set on the Redding T-7, but from some reading I've done on these forums, I'm not sure if my runout would be much better. It seems a lot of guys are using the Rockchucker. But it seems inconvienant to switch out dies on an O press. I looked into the Forester Co-Ax and it seems this would be the deal, but would there be slop just like the T-7 or the Dillon? Forester (of course) says no, if you use their locking rings. Would the Harrell be the deal? I like the idea of setting the dies and that's it, but not if I have to deal with the runout.

I am loading for .223 and .308 and will most likely keep with those calibers for the time being.

Any help is appreciated.

i have a forster,and it is fantastic.one thing to watch out for is "long seater dies"the handle lacks real long clearance for that. for .223-.308 should not matter.just know it,then get it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I have loaded many sub-sub rounds on Rockchucker press.One friend has a Hornady press that works great also his has the
easy change dies.I like Forster dies but gave away one of the Bonanza presses but they are good for shorter rounds.
