I still use a 1987 year Bonanza forester co-ax press. It’s loaded tens of thousands of rounds over the years. I have bought and used many other presses over the years but I always go back to this co-ax press. Ive changed a few jaw springs and jaws but that’s it. Great content, thanks!! I payed $75 for it when I was 15.

I been reloading since the early 80's I got a Hornady press but the co-ax was about $ 400 at that time must had a super good deal on that?

@wvlongshooter3912 5 ай бұрын

@@Moraprecisionreloader I bought it at a gun store that had the press up high on a shelf. I remember asking the guy, how much for the press, he replied $75. I knew that was a steal even being 15 years old. I got a great deal on it. Thanks.

I'm just getting started and haven't purchased any equipment yet. But for the money, apparent quality and precision, I think the Forster products are a no brainer 🤙❤️💯

They should incluse atleast 6 of the lockring adapters and a shorter handle for loading standard cartridges.

Bought the Redding Ultramag for 375 CT, and it’s really not quite big enough. Usable, but awkward for seating. Wanted this XL press but couldn’t wait indefinitely for it. Might just get a Zero for everything else (but the SAC is intriguing too).

the co-ax is an awesome design, but those at Forster have lost their minds with this one. I'm genuinely curious at how they arrived at their hilarious MSRP HAHA

What gives!?! The regular one, that doesn’t look too much smaller is under $400!

1700 dollar for the press and they couldn't even put a proper finish on it.

@jolebole-yt 5 ай бұрын

Not just the finish that sucks.. they didnt even bother casting a frame for it. Looks like few scrap steel plates welded together

@anthonyrstrawbridge 5 ай бұрын

Missed that detail; running back and forth between the grill.

@bartrice8278 5 ай бұрын

It’s a press…the function is more important than aesthetics. And it’s not $1700. I found it at Creedmoor sports and Brownells for $1095. Not a press I’d ever need, but the smaller co-ax is a great press.

@Lexidezi225 4 ай бұрын

Y’all are trippin. The finish is perfectly fine lol come on. No press comes with a plate that’s what got created a man for. A man builds his own base 😂😂 just giving you guys a hard time. Your nit picking a little much don’t ya think. Range Rover sells cars for 100’s of thousands of dollars don’t you think they could put an engine in it that’s worth a damn? We’re talking a press here. The finish is nice

@jesusisalive3227 5 ай бұрын

Offer the .500" plate,there is no such thing as overkill when mounting a press!

@DominicPaz 5 ай бұрын

I shoot 416 Barrett for ELR. If this press was available when I was buying my XL loading equipment I would have jumped on it. Looks much nicer than the Hornady I'm using. The ONLY place in the US you can get 50 BMG primers is from Dale at tenxaccuracy. He imports them from the UK and takes orders over the phone. I ordered 200 RUAG 50 BMG Primers in June for 90 cents each.
