I STARTED handloading on a Bonanaza CoAx in the early 70s. I added the RCBS Rockchucker around 1990, and have since added an old, like new, RCBS Jr dated 72 (?). ALL of my rifle ammo is singlestaged, but almost all handgun ammo is loaded progressively on a Dillon 550 bought in the late '80s.
All of my 6ARC ammo has been loaded on the RCBS JR and mostly with the Forster dies. I did initially load some ammo on a Lee collet die set, and may use that neck sizer again. I prefer Forster's sliding chamber seater die for the ARC over the Lee. Most of my dies are RCBS. I use Redding powder measures exclusively (3 of them) and find that they throw ball and short cut extruded powders very consistently.
I NEVER broke the sliding shell plates on the Bonanza/Forster CoAx!
