sorry for being thick I just cant figure it out.

I have a Rockchucker and a Lyman Crusher11 I thought they were pretty solid but no they do flex about the same I have a Ruger No 1 in 6mmBR tight chambered after a number of reloads the brass needed a full length resize using a small base body die the cases would not chamber thinking I was a little silly I set the press up to cam over some thing I had discounted as of no use but no it does work the cases chamber perfectly I have tried using both press to do this and they both do seem to flex about the same amount, even turning the die past the cam over point doesn't work it has to cam over, I am no engineer so don't ask
I have no idea
