Time for a Coax Party

[hambam105]

I have been reading a lot about how great these Forester Coaxial Presses are.

I say all those interested meet up with the next guy who says he has one set up & operational in his reloading garage. What say you?

[67Cuda]

I say if you can get more people exposed to a Forester CoAx the better.

I had mine for 23 years and would not trade it for anything out there on the market, its a tank and makes great ammo, and yes before i had a Rock Chucker before i had it

[mike.h]

yep,

[stilly]

I do not get it. It is a single stage though yes? So you can have it, but for 9mm and .44 and gofast ammo, Turret or progressive is the ONLY way to fly...

The Coax is RED is than not enough for you?

How is a Turret Better?

I've read many people's claims that a turret will outperform a co-ax, but I don't understand how. Granted, I've never used a turret press, but I can slip a new preset die into my co-ax just a quickly as you can rotate that turret to a new station. Additionally, my dies stay pre-set for the co-ax and don't require adjusting when they are put into a turret head.

Perhaps I'm mis-understanding the function of a turret press. Isn't it basically a single stage press with multiple places to pre-stage dies? Do you still batch process one-step at a time? Or do you rotate the turret to perform multiple operations on the same case (i.e. semi-progressive).

Thanks for clearing this up for me!

Having a turret is like having 4 single stages side by side each with a different die. So in four pulls you have a complete round, but you never had to touch a different press

recently picked up a bolt action and was looking at picking up a coax. watching videos on the coax sold me. waiting on my refi to close and ill be picking one up along with a dillon rt1500 to trim 308. then picking up an inline fab press mount with quick change plates.

[ar15barrels]

I do not get it.

If you had USED one, you would get it.

[Dago Red]

I have one. For long rifle rounds or precision rifle rounds can't be beat.

If you load anything else or do any volume, especially pistol, not having a Dillon cannot be justified. No reloader ever, that's honest and semi intelligent, has ever regretted getting a Dillon. I use my grandpas 550, I'd stop shooting pistols before is load on anything less. I'm saving for my own 650 or preferably a 1050 if I can justify it

With my daughters helping resupply me I can crank out 500 in 1.5 hours of 45acp. No auto case feeder and no bullet feeder

As a single stage and turret owner, I will say that you should wholeheartedly just buy the CoAx outright. You won't be sorry.

Get a 650 whenever you decide you need to crank out pistol ammo in quantity. But a solid single stage like the CoAx is an excellent tool to own.

My Co-Ax says Bonanza on the side. I have had it a loooong time. Its getting pretty loose and it's going back to Forster soon for some love. Other presses have came and went. This one stays.
