44-77 Dies

RE: 44-77 Dies
Kurt,your way sounds like the best way to go. One problem I did have early on with the bushing die is it being off center when I screwed it into my lyman press and ran a 45-70 case into it. I know my work was well centered so I had to put the blame on the lyman press. They said it was fine but. With a full length die, you would not see any offset to amount to anything as the entire case is supported.
Eventually what I did to get around this problem was to get one of the Co-Ax presses and that pretty much solved the problem. If your careful when you set things up when you change things for a different caliber, my case necks appear to be concentric. With the Co-Ax press you do have to use a standard shell holder for the 44-77 as they dont have jaws that are big enough for that case and you have to get that special set of jaws to prime in the press do to the 44 rim being so thick. Other than that I am happy with what I have made and done. The " one die solution" may not be for everyone but so far I am happy.
