What kind of projectile run out should I be going for. Or what are the better press to help stop runout.
If you want to make the best ammunition possible buy an arbor press and in-line dies ie Wilson.
These take al the mechanicals out everything happens in the die the press simply provides pressure.
So if the dies are straight so is everything else.
Also a lot cheaper an Arbor press is around $120 or you can buy a bottle topper and cut it down to size for about $40and some time and effort. Wilson dies are cheaper than Redding Comp & S type sets simple to use and take up no space. You can take them to the range with you or away on a trip out bush and load as you go too easy. I use plastic vials for powder, weigh it at home and just tip into the case after sizing and priming.
So accurate, cost effective and easily transportable what more could you want.
+1 on what Rinso said above,
I use a 30 year old Rock Crusher for sizing, and a Hurrell (same as Sinclair)
Arbor press, like rinso says Wilson dies, you can get the standard version and use the shims to adjust.seating depth, cheaper then buying the micrometer version, Biggest plus is being able to easily load at the range.

You mind if I be your guard dog/SSS !! I'm so very envious right now and am having some difficulty in not looking at your shell stand and the containers holding the empties
I love my Hornady L-N-L Press and will look at getting another one or 2 way in the future.... Looks like the house rebuild budget is gonna be expanded just a lil bit more now!!
My bench is not as tidy as Harbs but I have an old rock chucker a super simplex ponsnes warren as well as Dillon 1050 and hornody 366 in 12 and 20 ga
The most impressive loading room was in Indiana he had numerous progressive hornadies set up for 45, 40, 38super pacific/hornody 366 in410 28 20 and 12 ga as well as a Camdex in 38 special to cater for the fine array of automatic sub machine guns and pistols as well as a skeet ground as well as a bianchi cup style pistol range in his back yard probably the best couple of days shooting I have ever had also had the opportunity to shoot against some of the best pistol shots the states had to offer at the time

I inherited Camels RCBS after a small monetary transaction and use that along with my old Super Simplex press. Had pretty good success with the old Simplex but am enjoying the versatility of a 7/8" press now that I have one.
Still using a RCBS partner press I've had for over 25 years, seems to turn out accurate ammo and have had no trouble FL sizing cases up to 7mmSTW also run a mec600 and loadall for shotties, a pro1000 and hornady LNL-AP when I want to turn out a heap in a hurry.
