ATRS accumaxx? new to reloading

[plinkster65]

Looking to get into reloading, going to buy individual items, rather than just a "complete kit". As for a press, single stage, i primarily will be reloading 6.5 creed for now, likely bigger calibers in the future. Mostly with the idea of precision shooting at the range, and the odd hunt. Was originally thinking a rock chucker or possibly forster Coax as per the most commonly reviewed on Google. But I came across a used But great condition accumaxx for about the same price as a new rockchucker.. have heard they are top tier, wondering if im better off in the long run to go with the accumax.
Any input is appreciated.

I think you meant ATRS, not ATAS.

The rockchucker is a good press. But i would jump at an ATRS accumax as first choice between the 2 if they are the same price.

The accumax is a solid, heavy, precision press.

Iirc the accumax is threaded either 1¼" or 1½" for 50 BMG dies and needs an adapter bushing to use regular ⅞" dies used for 6.5 cm and most other cartridges. Check the bushing comes with the press or if you need to locate one separately.

Ya sorry ATRS, and yes it looks like the 7/8 adapter comes with it.
Thanks for your input.
