Forster Products Universal Co-Ax Reloading Press with S Jaws, Works with Standard 7/8″ x 14 Reloading Die, Made in USA

I've reloaded since the 1980's and always wanted a Co-Ax press. Finally purchased one this year, and could not be happier. I've used many presses over the years, and this is by far the best for my precision reloading needs. Not fast like my Dillons, but it's neither designed as, nor meant to be a progressive reloading press - it's designed for precision handgun and rifle case reloading, and it fulfills this role superbly. It's worth noting that the Co-Ax is far faster in operation than other single die presses I've used and/or owned, due to the unique shell holder and die holder designs. This press is solid (cast iron and steel), very little plastic, yet it is narrow and takes up relatively less bench real estate than other presses. There is nothing cheap about the Co-Ax, including the price, but in precision work, you don't want cheap, and you really get what you pay for with the Co-Ax, as with all Forster Precision products. Includes excellent pictorial instructions, spent primer cup and metal drop tube, adjustable die tensioner to ensure the dies don't flop around, and all the tools you need to set up and adjust. Strong enough to form wildcat cartridges. I'd advise buying additional dies rings from Forster (they include one with the press) - they're softer than other manufacturers' steel rings which may damage the press.

Superior Brand product in Forester! Durability to last a lifetime

This press has some very unique features. You will no longer need a small box of shell holders as the jaws automatically and perfectly grab the case every time. If you set up your work flow you can seat primers very quickly and to the perfect depth. Changing dies is very fast as all you do is slide them in/out. I like the straight in access you have to the press. The leverage seems about the same as a current RCBS--maybe a little better. The decapping primer capture system works flawlessly and I believe the press maintains excellent--maybe perfect alignment in all operations. I am getting less than one thousandth of run-out on almost all loaded rounds. Came from an RCBS Rock Chucker--nothing wrong with that press but I do think this one is better with a more clever design and is capable of producing loaded cartridges with very very little run-out.

nothing to dislike, everything works great

This is the be all to end all of presses! Built like a tank and accurate as all get out! It's a tight fit reloading .338LM (and you will need the LS jaws) but I've yet to see better concentricity from my reloads. Not cheap but if ELR is your game this is your press!
