Forster Coax
While I'm on role. Can anybody tell me about their experiences with the Forster Coax press. Is it any good, or would a Rock Chucker work? I want to get the best.

Hello "firedude4570"[:)]
I have both of them, plus a bunch of others such as Hollywood, Herter's, Lee, "Rock Crusher", CH4D, Texan, Val-Scott, plus a few assorted other ones.
If you want to be able to change dies in a New York heartbeat, without "screwing-out" and "screwing-in", and final adjustment, and you don't want to have to change shell-holders every time you change calibers, then the Forester Coax is the one you want. However, be prepared for "sticker-shock", they don't give them away.
If you are merely looking for a "Rock Solid", pardon the pun --- I couldn't help myself, press and don't mind changing shell-holders, or dies the old fashioned way and you are looking for something that doesn't break the "piggy-bank" and have you getting "draggon-breath" from your "significant other", then the "Rock Chucker" is the way to go.

I have the rocker chucker supreme press and I love that thing. I am able to resize military brass with ease with this press.
Another good press are the Redding Big Boss or Ultramag.
Or if you want a turret press, they got a sweet one.0 -
Hello "firedude4570"[:)]
Please forgive me for "hijacking" your thread, but I wish to answer "cody45".
"cody45" -- my Hollywood and several other "older" presses that I have are not for sale. They will be part of my estate that goes to my grand-nephews that managed to inherit the "Adams'" 'gun-gene'. I want them to be able to reload solid-brass shotshells for my "Damascus-Ladies" that are also going to them. Before anyone has a "canary", I have access to testing equipment that you don't, and if any one of the "Ladies" fails any one of the tests, it becomes a "wall-hanger" after one of the best welders I know puts a "washer" in the barrel past the choke and another one 2/3 the way up the chamber.
There is "part" of a Hollywood 'turrent" (7/8") on "E-barf". The item number is 7119286776, but you would need a couple of them in this shape to rebuild one good one. In a addition --- the shipping charges are outrageous. However, I will keep my eye peeled for you, and if I happen to run across one, I will let you know. Buy the same token, if you happen to see Hollywood or Val-Scott dies in 16, 20, 28, or 410, you must look out for me.
My Best To You And All Of Yours During The Holiday Season -- May It Be A Joyous and SAFE one!!!!!

Have owned 2 RCBS Rockchuckers, presently have a Hornady 007 and a Forster Bonanza Co-Ax.
The Co-Ax is the best of the lot and is one well built single stage press.
