As Kmon has pointed out, Hornady lock rings will work with the Forster, but I would much rather use Forster rings. I have used both over time.
There are stainless steel lock rings available that fit the Forster perfectly, for those that worry about somehow pushing a die through an alum. lock ring
(not likely).
The priming system on the Forster is actually is easy to use, if you address priming cases as a separate step (batch prime) and leave the die out of the press. It gives positive seating
with good feel, but you have to set it up for each different size case. I happen to have mine set up for .308 large primer at this time, but I am going to change it over
to the Grendel soon, as that is what I am going to be working with the most for a while. As a matter of fact, when I am not priming on the 550 or the Forster, I use the
RCBS Ram Prime on the Rockchucker, because I like the feel of the system, It is not "high production" though.
Some folks don't like to handle primers individually, fearing primer contamination from skin oil, but I tell you what, it's pretty damn hard to kill a primer, and it's not too hard to wash and dry your hands.
