Bonanza Dies

A short time ago, I bought a Bonanza neck sizing die for 7 Rem. Mag. The other day, I ran some new case through it to round out the necks. The die has the expander button located rather high up on the decaping stem and it makes it a lot easier to pull the cases over the button. Apparently the leverage of my Rockchucker is greater there than at the bottom of the stroke. None of my dies from other manufacturers work like that. The only other Bonanza dies I have are for .375 Winchester and, of course, those are a 3-die set with the expander/bell on the third die. Are Bonanzas typically built like this? Any others? How about Dillon--I don't have any of those?

    Yes Forster/Bonanza dies are typically like this.
    I do not believe any other manufaturers use this design as I have a Wide variety of dies on my shelves.
    Not sure about the Dillons though as I only have pistol dies from them.

    If you use the co-ax press, and their seating dies you will be very pleasantly surprised at the lack of run-out too!
    GOOD STUFF!
