Forster Co-Ax vs m-press

[Sraw]

I know the Co-Ax is king but that hasn’t been available for months, does anyone have any experience with the m-press?

 

[Dusty Stevens]

I prefer a regular o-press. The coax isnt really king it just seems that way if you read on the internet

I was under the impression everything on the internet is true, when did this change?

Which o press do you prefer?

 

[One Shot One Thrill]

I have both. I've used the Forster for yeast and it is excellent.
The M press is also a good press. I really like the light and the fact that the press sets flush with bench top. It is great for taking to the range.
If you get the M press remove the lock ring set screw and replace with a brass tipped set screw. The set screws that come with it will loosen with use. Thus is the only issue I've found.
In my opinion you can't go wrong with either one.

According to what case i like the redding presses, lyman orange crush is the best kept secret, and rcbs partner for light work

Not endorsing or un-endorsing any particular product, but the RCBS Summit press got really good ratings on its runout numbers in a 14 press review:

I have a coax that I'll let go. Nothing wrong with it. But I returned to the rock chucker ....the handle is lower, and doesn't bother my worn out shoulder as much.

Summit is the worst press ive ever bought. The huge long handle should be a tip off- and its not long enough. Whoever did that review must not have ever used a press before

What is the M press?

Frankford Arsenal's Co-Ax knockoff.

I've been using the same Rockchucker for over 40 years. It' goes the range with me. I have a spare laying under the reloading table just in case.

This is year 43 for my Rock Chucker.

I have a rockchucker. First press i ever bought. over 40 years ago. Still works fine.

But i use my co-ax for pretty much all my reloading. I just like it better.

Thinking about it i can't remember the last time i used.the.rockchucker.

Use my harrell combo press for my portable.reloading.kit. threaded and arbor press in one. I like that one too for the smaller benchrest rounds.

I have 4 Rock Chucker's. They are all I’ve used for years.

I’ve given thought to a T7 turret press for hunting loads, but Rock Chucker is all I use for long range.

I picked up a set of old RCBS presses for $20 each
RS and a JR 2 iirc
Both a smooth as silk

I am an accuracy freak and use hand dies for most all my cartridges. The Co-Ax produces results very close to custom hand dies, mainly because of the centering it performs. It is a very nice tool.

 

[Cecil S.]

I have 2 presses RCBS JrII and Forester Co-AX. I like the 2 press set up (learned here) , I feel like I get more leverage with the Co-AX (forming LC Brass) the M press might be the same.

 

[Joe Salt]

RCBS needs to come back out with there A-4 Big Max then you will know what a real press can do!

Still want to leave one set up for the pesky little dies ya need quickly when developing things.

I have x2 Coaxs, top of the food chain all things considered a joy to use.
Many or all presses of all types will work to some degree or another, more importantly what you enjoy using and budget.
