SAC Nexus press

[skeetlee]

I just wanted to say thank you and well done SAC. I just purchased my new Nexus press and I couldn’t be any more pleased.
If you enjoy nice tooling save your Pennies . These are not cheap but in my option well worth the price.
I did make a die holder for mine as it was simple to do. Great job SAC

Very nice looking.
In particular I like the handle design and especially the way it is mounted. ( meaning the thoughtful engineering that went into it)
I really like nicely done presses.
Unfortunately no matter which you buy, the groups don’t get one bit smaller.

You’re not wrong. I’m sure they had that press in mind when designing. This press does have a feature the forester does not. You can set this press for cam over or you can set it for a solid stop. Just change the bottom pucks out.
I won’t say this press loads any better than the forester but it is machined to perfection. As a rifle builder precision minded fella, I appreciate that!

Yes, it's a very well designed and put together tool. . . top grade to go with the top price.

I only have one gripe with the Nexus (a minora one to be sure) because I got so used to my Forster where it was so easy to just not having to deal with changing anything (other than a die that's already been set up, of course). The speed and ease for going from a .308 case to a 6.5 PRC case with the Forster kinda spoiled me. Changing the Nexus shell holder isn't really hard, though can be a little finicky getting it into the assembly, then sliding it in and locking it into place. More than once I've forgot that I had the magnum shell holder in and tried to size a .308 case, surprising myself that I didn't first notice I had the wrong shell holder in. Fortunately, I didn't do that with a FL sizing die. Other than that, I really do like the Nexus.

Fair point.
