[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 863767, member: 25383"] if you got to have the snap in die feature, then look at Forster and forget the rest. But if threaded dies will do everything, then most any will work well. If cases are big, then your looking for power and less flex. The threaded area on a die will flex under pressure, otherwise you would not be able to thread the die into the frame. A .88-14 thread will have at least .0075" clearance just to work. ( Federal standard for a .88-14 TPI thread is 69% thread contact) That thread will move under extreme pressure, and where it moves is anybody's guess. But the bayonet system (lock & load, and others) will be even worse. The above are one good reason a solid setup like a Wilson are always better. All cast iron framed, "O style" presses are pretty much similar. All have the same pluses and minuses. The one major advantage of the tread system is that the jam nut will pull the male thread of the die into better contact, and help fight the thread flex issue. The only problem there is having to tweak the die adjustment a couple times. Still we all have to do that, so it's a given. gary [/QUOTE]
