    Single Stage Press for Precision Shooting

    ok. My DL 550 does not hold up as well as I would want for my precision loads. Turret can get a little loose which may throw off my trimming, and seating to different oals.

    I want this to be my first and last single stage press to use forever.

    Should I go with RCBS Supreme or the Forester Co-Ax?

    Forster Co-Ax dude. My set-up is good to go once again so you can check it out first if you like. Added bonuses are that you don't need shell plates/ case holders as it has a universal one. It also has a built in priming station thats awesome. Well worth the money. Moves slick and has served me well.

        Should be about $200. Cabelas and Midsouth has the same price (before shipping) I believe. Midway also sells it for $10 more. Check out the reviews on those sites too.

          jason, what do you use for priming? the $20 hand priming tool?

          i'm also going to get the competition seating die.

          i should have listened to you in the beginning!

            I use the unit mounted on the Forster to prime as it is consistent (tight tolerances) for my match loads. I only use the hand priming tool for handgun calibers simply for the sake of speed.

              is that extra $$? do i need extra shellholders to change out dies for neck sizing, depriming, and seating?

                You won't need everything I bought though. Go with a Rock chucker. I can get it for $104 with my discount plus shipping. I can get the Lee cast press for $66 plus shipping.

                PM me and let me know.

                            Just one one built in shellholder to do everything. All you have to do is switch the dies! I believe you can use whatever rings come with most dies.. but I just ended up getting forster rings for all my dies.
