My fellow CGNers.........

I've been looking into getting a different reloading press that will assist me in achieving less run out and very consistent rounds. I have narrowed down my choices between the MEC Marksman or Forster CO-AX.
Which do you prefer? Why? Have you had the opportunity to use each one?

Thanks Guys!
 
yes the press can be a factor but some of the biggest factors are in the brass and shell holders you choose, some dies are not always that true either
there are reasons why one shellholder costs 5 bucks and another 8-10 bucks, same with brass and dies, you sometimes get what you pay for
 
I also have 2 - Co-Ax presses, and can highly recommend them. They are about as good as
a single-stage press can be. And no shellholder issues!!. My original "Forster" Co-Ax has loaded
in excess of 25,000 rounds of rifle ammo, and works as good today as it did when new. EE.

Hirsch precion (a sponsor here) is your friend
Forster lock rings for dies are the best

I got the optional short handle
Such a brease to use
Expect I will never need the factory long one
Could have saved a buck and cut it down

Lots of on line video
Cause set up is different

You will want the optional large shell holders for 30 30, 45 70 etc
 
Lol, I just got a coax to replace my T7. It seams that like everyone I wish I had done it sooner. To be fair lapping the busing in the T7 made a huge difference.
