Thanks for the heads up. Been wanting one of these for sometime. It's headed my way.

Worth the $

It is a shame these wonderful machines are priced so high as to make cheaper single stage presses the preference for most hobbyists. I would never go back to a "C" or "O" press unless I had no alternative. Forster's high price and comparatively low sales volume might one day make that happen, but mine will suffice to the end of my reloading career.

It is a Rolls-Royce of a press, luv mine.

My first one was back when they were Bonanza. It went away during a divorce, but a Forster came to live with me 2 years ago.
Just a wonderful press.

I've been using a co-ax press for 10+ years and love it. I have a run out gauge and the Forester turns out more concentric cartridges than any O press I have.

Get both, I did.

Buy one. Just sitting there gives you credability.

I had my first Co-Ax by 1980. For priming on top it uses shell holders that, except for having a larger hole through the center, are identical to RCBS's. I picked up a second one with the modern "universal" sliding side shell holder but only because it was $25 out the door. A local gun store that sells a lot of used reloading tools did not know it was a reloading tool.

I bought my first Co-Ax as a step up from a Rock Chucker. It is primarily for bottle neck rifle cases. For loading pistol cartridges faster than a single stage I had a C-H press. It moved 4 RCBS type shell holders up and down between two pillars. C-H's deluxe carbide die sets came with 4 shell holders. While the H press is long gone the Co-Ax is still unequaled.

I'm glad you posted that.

I checked the link, and saw a press that looks like the one I inherited from my Dad. (Not set up... yeah, I know... not cool.) My first reaction was confusion, since mine isn't a Forster, but a Bonanza.

You cleared that up for me... thanks.
