    Single stage press made in USA?

    Are any of the reloading presses still made in USA aside from Forster?
    I'd like a single stage kit to start reloading but not sure I want to pay for the co ax (and doesn't come in a kit).

        Save up and get the Co-Ax. :-)

          I wouldn't put too much emphasis on getting a kit if you spend an adequate time researching what you need before hand. I have one of the lee kits and maybe use two of the non-press items. Everything else is either redundant (it comes with priming on and off the press) or has been replaced with components that I find more useful. If I did it again, I would just buy the press and buy the accessories I needed a la carte.

          Lee's literature claims the breech lock challenger is made in the USA. I have no issues with it but havent loaded anything larger than 243/6.5x47.

            Get the RCBS kit and be done with it.
            A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

              A major per-requisite in the OP is Made in the USA...RCBS doesn't qualify

                  If you like the best "Save up and get the Co-Ax. :-)" as stated above
                  mine has been going for 20 plus years and shows no sign of wear.

                    For What's-It-Worth....

                    Top grade Redding Reloading Presses hold their value very well as compared to on Ebay. Coax same same.

                    I can't think of a single Reloader who started on a Coax press, don't know anyone with a Coax press who doesn't have a high grade single stage press or makes claims thereof.

                    WTF, a new car or truck in the driveway and a entry level reloading press mounted in the garage?

                    If the entry level single stage presses didn't happy customers then they wouldn't be selling a lot of them.

                        Ah snap, this is the first I've heard of the new lyman presses.

                        The Brass Smith Victory kit looks great, I especially like the priming system on the press (not that I have any kind of experience, just looks better than lee).

                        And the entire kit is priced less than just the co-ax.
                        I think this one may be it, thank you.
