    Thoughts about Forster Co-Axial press!

    To you guys with a lot more experience in reloading than me.
    What are or is the advantage of the coaxial press over a single stage Lee or redding press?

    Cheers

    The main advantage is that die sits in a recess with some lateral and to a lesser extent vertical play. This can help with better alignment of the cartridge case in the die. Also, die changes are very fast as you don't have to unscrew the die from the press.

    Dies float (self aligning)
    Quick to change dies. Primer seating is the same every time.
    A lot of feel in the down stroke, when seating.
    Rugged and long lasting.
    Haven't spent a cent on mine and bought it way back in 93' iirc.

    It's loaded a few rounds since then😆
