Looking for a second press.... Im lost

[Matt5266]

I recently went this same route. I've had a rcbs rock chucker for years and just got a brand new forester co ax from a guy for $200 to add to my setup

I ran the Forster curved arms for a bit but went back to the straight ones. The curved ones didn’t have a hard stop like the straight ones for me so I was getting variance in shoulder bump among other issues. The pins they pressed in also worked loose so I had to weld them in place but it still didn’t work to my liking. I hear the inline fabrication curved arms are better but I haven’t tried them.

Also, the CO-Ax has some of the highest leverage of the presses out there. I resize 33XC in mine with no issues.

If I were to be in the market for another press I would consider the SAC Nexxus press.

Your experience is totally different that mine. I found it almost impossible to resize 338 Win Mag and Ruger 375 cases using my Co-Ax. Yet its a breeze using my old Rock Chucker or my new Zero press.
For me, the Co-Ax really shines for handgun ammo.

Hard to not like a Co-Ax. Been using one for close to 3 decades. I do have the taller second gen yoke to clear some of the modern dies but it won't clear some of the even newer longer seating dies.

Not needing to screw in dies is sweet or change shell holders.

I own a lot of presses and for a second press the Co-ax is hard to beat unless you can justify the Nexus.

This is what I think I'm leaving towards. The forster coax. But I have never seen one and No one sells them around me. Seems like they are the top choice for single stage from what i read.

I ordered mine online from them, its been great.

I think a good middle ground for getting something setup to move into more of a bulk ammo direction is a turret press. The classic Lee turret is pretty legit. RCBS, Redding, and Lyman also make a model. It's nice because you can just buy the "turret" portion of them and leave the die setup exactly how you want.

419 makes one as well that is very nice.
