I havent really done any run out tests, they use the same ram and I think the stroke is the same length, they also use the same on board priming method. I would say the quality is the same. They do take a bit of run in time where the ram is a bit "gritty"

My BB2 went to a forum member, and it was probably just run in Well OK,.... well run in

Depriming is always a bit messy but with the "down the ram hole " that redding employs it is a lot cleaner .... maybe 1 in 20 will bounce back out of the ram, but if you dont use the onboard priming method then the hole can be blocked off with a bit of foam etc and then its like Colditz ( no one escapes )

Swapping between large and small primers is a bit of a fiddle. But if you only use one size primer then the on board would be OK.

Personally I use a bench mounted priming system that is easier than a handheld device.
