Don't have one myself.

I own a Forster and an older Bonanza Co-Ax presses! Excellent quality, very solid and pumps out accurate ammo. Buy once, cry once you won’t be disappointed!

Love my forster co-ax press. The priming is a bit slow, best if used in conjuction with a hand primer. I use a frankford arsenal platinum one.

Also use the forster trimmer and find that it is very accurate. The micro adjust uses a set screw which is not my favorite, but it does not move once set. the 3-1 trim/deburr/chamfer cutter is also a nice touch.

use the ultra micrometer seater dies for all my rifle calibers. I feel they are every bit as accurate as the redding alternative at a cheaper cost as they are aluminum.

Honestly I can't find one thing to pick apart about any forster product to date, not the same experience as with lee, hornady, or redding.

I own a Forster classic trimmer and this thing rocks consistency out of the park. It's a shame, my only complaint is that their stuff is so spendy, otherwise I would have more of it.

Primer collection thing on the co Ax is a joke. Priming tool part is pretty labour intensive too.

Love my Co-Ax but by its design it can’t do some functions other conventional presses can.
However, that design offers more pros than cons.

The priming system on the co-ax is slow but I use a hand primer anyway. The primer catch system is better than anything I have seen, since owning the co-ax, Iv'e never picked up a spent primer off the floor. I like the universal shell holder, it fits everything I load.
