Hello,

I have been trying to find a Forster Co-ax press to accompany my Dillon, as load development on a progressive isn't ideal. I have been trying to find one with no success. I have tried X-reload, Hirsch Precision, Creedmore Sport, Midsouth, Natchez, Grafs and son and probably others, but none of them had it in stock.

Has anyone have any secret source for one and don't mind sharing? PS: I know Graf had one on sale for a crazy good price last December, but other shopping kinda took the priorities and I totally forgot about it. Still kicking myself...
 
Brownells - US $343, in stock (Wow!)

Thanks guys! I'm waiting for Jerry to get back to me. If he doesn't have it I'll just order one from Brownells...I literally checked 1 hr before posting and it was out of stock then...
 
I ordered mine through X-reload a couple months ago. Was out of stock everywhere so I signed up for email notifications and waited. Got an email a week later, around midnight, ordered one that morning at 7am and they were sold out within an hour or two.
If Jerry can't hook you up, try calling Hirsch Precision. Brownells or X-reload both seem to get them in somewhat regularly, but you may have to wait.
 
Brownells regularly has $30 off for purchases over $300. Today the code is "VDT" and that included US shipping if you want to drive to the border to pick it up.
 
Another question, does anyone use other press handles than the factory one? The factory one looks awfully long and high. I'm sure it's a more leverage but not sure if it's all that ergonomic for long bench sessions..
 
...i am a fan of the forster lock rings, they do cost a bit more, but might be worth ordering a few extras at the same time as the press.

I use an Inline Fabrication Roller Short Handle. I found that it has plenty of leverage for full length resizing, and it is smooth a silk to operate.
Coupled with my Ultramount, it is very ergonomic. I got the quick change Ultramount...its brilliant for switching between presses.

They make great stuff at Inline and the shipping to cost to Canada is very reasonable.

I agree with almost all this except Dan's shipping to Canada. His rates are extremely high to get stuff up here. His shipping to the boarder it is very cheap.

I just took a pipe cutter to the handle it came with. Problem. Solved.
