jski, I went over to a buddies that had a T7 and a Co-Ax on his bench. Used my own dies just to load about 20 each of a mid range .308 load. I had loaded 20 on my Rock Chucker and tightened down the locking ring. I figured there would be a little difference between the batches, but I was looking for any dimensional differences in the loads as I figured that was a good way to test the differences in the presses.
That test is what moved me to the Redding. There was no difference in the Redding loaded ammo and the Co-Ax in terms of dimensional differences and when I shot them on a dot drill, there was no difference in accuracy. The Redding was faster and easier, and as long as I am getting the same quality of ammo, speed and ease is the selling point for me.
I have done the same thing in .243Win, for which I have Lee, RCBS, Redding and Forster dies. Pretty clear to me that the dies you use are more important than which (of the quality ones) press you use.
