What presses and dies are you using and general equipment recommendations.
#73
I checked and I haven't said it yet. The co-ax is the best. Well, almost the best. Any well made single stage press is probably also the best and some of the turrets are pretty good too. I use a Redding big boss II and a co-ax with Redding competition dies. I do most of the work on the co-ax but seem to find a reason to stick a die in the Redding on occasion. I seat with a Wilson seater die with the micro adjustment top on an arbor press. I switched to the VLD seater stem for Berger 130gr bullets.

I tried the Hornady lock and load quick change system on my Redding and wasn't a fan. They were fine for resizing, but when seating the rubber o-ring in the hornady lock and load holder came into play since the pressure to seat wasn't enough to get a consistent amount of compression on the o-ring so I gave it up.

The quick change on the co-ax doesn't have this problem. I switched my co-ax to take a shell holder recently and so far I like it better with a shell holder than with the jaws.
