Daniel's Review of Forster Co-Ax Press

I wore out my Hornady 007 single stage press. I loved that press. I taught myself how to reload using that thing back in the early 80's when I got out of the service.....6 years US Navy, 4 tours to Vietnam. Blue water sailor on the USS Enterprise CVAN 65. The very first nuclear powered aircraft carrier in the world!
Anyways after much YouTube and internet surfing I decided to buy the Forster Co-Ax Press. I could have saved some money and bought a less expensive press, but I'm 72 years old and I've learned you generally get what you pay for. Sure, if you are foolish you can pay a lot for junk too. But if you do your due diligence and research before you buy you'll generally be glad you spent the money. Cheaper equipment can get you to the same end product if the operator makes precise adjustments, measurements, and continually checks for consistency. But quality equipment usually allows for "set it and forget it" consistency. But with that being said, quality still requires periodic spot checks to verify.
I've reloaded tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition in my lifetime. Now I'm getting into some long distance shooting so I wanted to up my game and start building ammo that will meet the challenge. I'm not a competitive shooter nor will I become one. But I like to hit what I shoot at and you can't consistently hit your intended target if you have junk ammo.
Reloading ammunition is easy once you learn the basics and follow all the safety guidelines. Reloading accurate long range ammo requires precision and consistency. So far this Co-Ax press has delivered on both. Now the fun of building a load my rifle likes and I'll be good to go.
Another reason I chose this press is the fact that Eric Cortina uses one. When I saw one in his reloading workshop I was sold! If you want to shoot like a professional watch 'em, learn from 'em, and listen to 'em. They know what they are doing.
Pros:
  • Very solid & high quality,
Cons:
  • It's heavy, but once mounted to the bench, who cares?
Would Recommend: Yes
