Most Helpful Positive Review Good fit and finish
I needed to convert all my dies from my old press over to my Forster CoAx. These fit my new press perfectly. I was concerned with being aluminum. But after using to resize a bunch of military brass, I am no longer concerned. Received quickly and the had the best price also. A+

Very accurate and precise fit in the Forster press

by GaryG, Verified Owner from IN, United States Written on February 14, 2025
These are a very accurate and precise fit in the Forster press. Much better than the locking rings that come with other dies. Well worth the investment.

Forster Slipped A Bit But Optics Planet Picked Up Slack

by TH, Verified Owner from TN, United States Written on April 1, 2023
I ordered a twelve piece pack of these cross-bolt die lock rings. They DO NOT damage die threads like some other products and are very easy to loosen and adjust when necessary. Unfortunately one of the lock rings was manufactured with an out of position cross bolt. It was machined too close to the threads in the lock ring which did not allow threading the lock ring on to the die. I contacted Optics Planet and had a replacement lock ring in my hands in a matter of days at no cost. You can't beat that kind of customer service. Thank you Optics Planet!
Pros:
  • does its job perfectly
Cons:
  • semi-expensive for what it is
Best Used for:
  • handloading
  • reloading dies

Work as advertise

by ZAP, from CA, United States Written on June 26, 2020
The Co-Ax is a great press for reloading consistent rounds. These hold the die in place. So far after a month of use they have held consistent on the die. Buy the bigger option... you know you are going to get more calibers and better dies later. Might as well stick up on these.
Pros:
  • They work as advertised
Cons:
  • none can see
Best Used for:
  • Forster Co-Ax reloading press

Forster locking Ring

by MJM, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on April 5, 2019
Great locking ring that holds its position once set. I use one on every die. Does not use a set screw that could damage die threads. The Foster press uses these lock rings and it allows quick change of each die. There is no requirement to readjust the die, once its set and locked, the die holds the settings until you make a change to that die.

A great feature of the Forster press is that these lock rings allow the die to float and self center. This allows you to produce very accurate reloads. You save time when changing dies because you simply slide the die out of the groove and insert the next die needed during your reloading process.

Forster Lock Rings

by GF1, from VA, United States Written on September 10, 2018
Great product, great price. These rings are important when using dies other than Forster or Bonanza with the Co-Ax reloading press. I especially like the cross bolt design. Many other dies have different sized locking rings.
Pros:
  • Great rings!
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Reloading
Would recommend: Yes
