There are a hundred ways to skin a cat and you'll likely get 100 different answers. IMO the press is a very small part of it but it does matter a little. I had a LnL and it just felt sloppy. Went to a Redding T7 and it is rock solid. Also have a Big Boss that's also solid. You don't need to spend big $ to get decent results. I've heard great things about the Co-ax but a good scale, AMP and Giraud trimmer were where I put my money.
I only prep brass on them. Full length with honed die, expand neck and done. I do believe the expander should be allowed to float a little.
I bullet seat with Wilson die and arbor press.
Don't take this wrong but 941/1000 seems to me to be more of a wind reading, gun set up, load development issue than press issue. Unless it was a brutal wind condition of course. And if you are wanting to put all this time and money in to being competitive why those cartridges and not the 7mm/.284s that I'm sure those champion shooters are using? Where are your misses? Vertical or wind?
But back to topic at hand....The Redding presses have worked just fine for me and a few small club wins.
