Coaxial vs rock chucker

[Colorado Cowboy]

I use an RCBS Turret with all the dies and powder measure mounted on the turret. I just change turrets and powder measure when I change calibers.

Me too. I’ve never understood how swapping dies seemed to jam people up so bad.

Yeah, i dont get it either. How is repeatability any different for a lock ring in a coax vs a lock ring screwed tight to the top of a traditional press? What am I missing?

I didn't think they made a case ejector/kicker for a coax which is a deal breaker for me but saw this vid. Not sure if this is a product that's currently available?

That’s pretty cool - a case kicker speeds up 223, 300 BLK, etc. would be a pain to have to take the case out each time.

I like the look of the SAC Nexus, but not sure if I’d be willing to drop the $$$. My Hornady isn’t perfect, but still gets the job done.

I switched from a Rockchucker that I learned to reload on 30 years ago to a Coax a couple years ago. Not sure why, just a wild hair I guess.
I do like it's features quite a bit more and the "self aligning" nature made sense to me.
Not sure if it was totally worth it, but I do like it.

Only press I've ever mounted to my bench is a basic Lee Classic Cast. Of all the things to blow $ on, a gucci single stage feels like the least bang for your buck especially if there isn't commercially available shell ejectors/kickers. Finally got a Dillon 550 last week but have yet to set it up.. I dont think I'll use it for sizing much because its probably still slower than my Lee unless i wanted to expand with a mandrel or deprime in a separate stage.

Once you set the Dillon up I’ll bet that Lee just gathers dust
Put a drop of oil under the primer transfer bar and run a bit of powdered graphite through the powder measure to slick things up before you use it
