Default RE: Bonanza/Forster Co-AX press

Over the years i've owned and used many press', includeing Lyman, Lee, RCBS and several others. But, once i bought a co-ax, i was sold on it! I liked it so much i bought a second one to use when "the first was worn out"! Thing is, "i never wore the first one out", and it's easily loaded over 50,000 rounds to date. The new one i bought,is still new, and never has been used.

Likes: I like the way i can mount it into the bench, instead of just on the edge. I also like the way it catches all the primers, and primer dirt in a container below the bench. I like the way the dies "float" and also the auto shell holder. It loads very accurate ammo!!

Dislikes: Some custom forming dies won't work with this press. It doesn't have quite the compound leverage a "rockchucker" has. You still may have to change shell holders, but (2) will cover 99% of cartridges.

I still like my co-ax better than any other single stage press i've used to date.
