Thank you all for the input.  I'll keep it ALL in mind when I finally get the rifle back out to shoot.

In the meantime, I ordered a single stage cast iron Lee press today (my regular press is the classic turret which is a cast iron base but the turret is milled aluminum and the turret ring is cast aluminum.  I'm going to see if the cast iron single stage doesn't do a better job on hard to press shoulders and full length cases.

Thanks again.
