My rifle smith is a long time bench rest guy and he swears by hand dies. Says seating concintricty is more accurate with less run out than a traditional press.
I like the idea in coupling with a Sinclair Arbor Press just for the space savings as well as not having to have a work bench to clamp the press to. I've got a nice desk I can use for reloading but I don't want to have to drill holes in it to mount a traditional press. I'm moving in a few months and don't feel like buying a big reloading bench just to have to pack it all up and relocate a ton of more crap.
So with hand dies is there any downside aside from time consumption? Well that and not being able to full length size the brass.
Or would I just be better off going with a Forster Coax like I originally was planning?
