Forster Co-Ax vs Redding T-7

[wind gypsy]

OP I fit the same reloading situation as you and although you didn't mention it, I'd consider a Dillon 550. I have a Forster and will dump it the minute I can swing Dillon.

That's the route I went.

1 single stage, 1 550. With a shell kicker i can load fast on a single stage. When throwing charges, its nice to not have a separate step for priming and loading on the 550. If a guy loads in sizeable batches, i dont see a reason for a bunch of single stages as screwing a die in/out doesnt' take much time.

I went through this a few years ago and ended up with the co-ax. I'm happy with my decision, but I would have been just as satisfied with the T-7. Get the one that you can get cheaper, they're both great upgrades.

I've got a 550 too that just collects dust. If I could get a reasonable offer on the package, I'd sell it. It'll continue to collect dust before I give it away.

I have both but use them for different reasons.

All of my precision ammo I load on the coax.

I have a lock n load kit on my powder dispenser that I run on my T7 when I’m just throwing together some practice rounds or pistol rounds.

I was in the same boat a few years back, I went with the Co-ax and have no regrets. It produces great ammo, and I have had zero issues with it in my process.

Id encourage you to setup a tool head for one of your higher volume rifle rounds like 308 or 223 and let it eat for an hour. The dillon thrower does pretty well odds are high you won't notice a difference.

Guys get all caught up with separate wash/decal/wash/load/wash blah blah I just yeet'em through like pistol rounds no issues.
