Demi-human
maybe likes firearms a little bit…
I have no experience at all with any of these presses.
So for what it’s worth, I chose Hornady.
Because of my experience with their other excellent products, as well as their wonderful service, when my biceps were stronger than my cortex.
I also chose the IronPress as it has an auto prime feature that places the primer on the reverse stroke, no more hand priming. It has a large open area to work in, but I couldn’t find the largest case capacity in a quick look. I thought you had some larger boomers? They make a BMG press, so smaller than that.
The tool holder may be nice for some. I don’t like cleaning out pockets above where I’m working, but that’s not how I do it anyway. For a couple of go to rifle cartridges, the dies can stay right on the press and everything covered.
But were I now to buy a single stage press for strictly my smaller target rifles, I might feel foolish not to get a Forster Co-AX. They are talked up so highly by such a large number of shooters and competent handloaders. I sometimes think I’m missing something.
For my meager efforts, a press is a press and the shell holder-less jaws are just a nicety.
I found little difference between my standard Hornady press and a friends Rock Chucker, something, not supreme. Both work as expected, classically, with ease.
Even though I use it a lot, if I ever replace my press, it won’t be from it being worn out.
