Hey Baxter,
What Turret Press Company? The reason I ask is this..
Now, I very much like the Turret Press concept and own a Redding, don't get me wrong, I still can't live without a Rockchucker for R&D work. One of my guys was resizing the 458-325gr-Hornady to 452 and managed to bend the Ram, guess he learned, that we use the Bullet Proof Rockchucker, for such.
I was thinking that it was a RCBS Turret Press and dropped a dime to them and quick as a bunny they Provided a new Ram, NO CHARGE. To My surprise, the thing would not fit the press, the new Ram being allot bigger in diameter. Then I discovered that the press was really a Redding and not the RCBS, I thought it was. I tried to give back the RCBS Ram back to them, but they were more enthused with the notion that my shop had a failure with a competitor's, that RCBS charged nothing for and Redding charged me something like $20 bucks, with shipping.
Will Redding work? Yes, but don't stress it as we did on those 325's. Will RCBS work? I believe it will, even resizing the 325's.
Good thing the Redding was a Gift, myself I learned many long Moons ago that, sparring a dime, usually will cost you much more in the long run..t
