Should I replace my Rockchucker with a Forster CO AX?

I went a slightly differnt route, I retired my old rcbs special 2 then bought and converted my Redding big boss II to use the hornady LNL bushings. I considered the Rock chucker but couldn't deal with the spent primer issue.

I vote RCBS with Hornady LNL Bushings.

What's the point of getting another press when you've already paid for used your RCBS? You'd be wasting $ buying another press.

I must confess a bit of initial confusion when I read your poll.

I thought WTF is a "Prazi"? And why would you want to press one? Especially while wearing a rag on your head?

Unless of course you happen to be Sikh.

Then I read your post.

mostly I use the collit puller to take apart large numbers of mistakes.

Stick with the tried and true RC. Quickly changing dies is the least of your problems.

Ya think? Have you been talking to my therapist?

My German is a little bit rusty... still, I think I need one.

I cant comment on the actual differences in accuracy between the two because I'm not a good enough shooter to tell, but I believe the point of the co-ax is that the floating die and shell holder setup allows the components to line up while loading. This, in theory, makes for more accurate ammo.

I do have both presses, and typically use the co-ax, FWIW

I have both also. Started out with RC way back when and still use it for sizing and case forming brass. It's a real work horse. Bought a Co-Ax a couple of years ago and very happy with it. Just used for my bolt action reloading. Use Dillon's for pistol and semi-auto.

Been using my RC since '77-'78. Never even considered upgrading, easy enough to work with and I'm in no hurry. No, no need to change.

There's your answer.

There's your answer.

I think you're right but have you seen the price

No, and I'm not going to look either.

Sometimes you just need to get what you want and damn the cost (if you can afford it).

NO - I have a single stage and a Co-Ax. Single stage gets used for 90% of my reloads. I think you are better off buying precision bullet seating dies instead.
