so Zeke in a Forster Coax with where not only does the shell holder allow the case to float but also the dies is in a slide in die holder what do you align?

Take a FL sizing die in you hand and slide a case into it. Try doing it at a angle or slightly off center and see what happens, either the case aligns or it does not go in. This isn't rocket science.

In the case of the carbide ring the parts of the die itself were misaligned and locked rigidly in place. Same thing would happen if the case was held completely rigid and you tried to force it into a sizing die that was not floating. The brass will give way before the steel does

What about that revolver bullet entering the forcing cone of a slightly off time revolver.

Are your rounds leaving the magazine perfectly aligned when the bolt pushes them out and into the chamber? I don't think so. As they enter the chamber the shape of the bullet and case guides the round into alignment with the bore.

It's pretty simple to demonstrate for yourself, get a die and a case and try to hold the die and case at a angle and slide the die up into the case.
