Forster Co-ax XL

[NF1E]

Added a Forster Co-ax XL press to the bench. Mounted on an InlineFabrication quick change plate so I can shift between RCBS rock chucker, Forster Co-ax and the new Forster Co-ax XL in just a few seconds. Loving the new changes to the loading bench. The XL is super heavy duty and can accept 1 1/4" dies and 7/8" with adapters. Whatta Hobby!

Is it as smooth as they say? Given they have roller bearings in some part of the linkage.

BBBBBIG .But nice ..What are you loading with it.

 

[neckturner]

What are you loading with it.

Whatever he wants! I think it will do .50 BMG.

 

[NF1E]

Haven't loaded a darn thing with it yet, but I will be ready for all up to 50 bmg.

Sure feels smooth setting up dies, haven't loaded with it yet but tomorrow starts a new operation.

This would do it. Comes with a 50 bmg shell holder, all you need is the die and component parts. This one was a tad over 1.2K
Yep, NF1E is my call. Been a ham since 1961.

Have been switching back a forth between the XL and the standard Co-ax. I think I like the standard better. The XL is much heavier duty than I need for most of my loading. It is nice to have it's capacity sitting in the dugout just in case. Whatta Hobby!

Certainly gravitating to the Inline system for myself. I have a MEC press on the MEC stand, took the Inline upper plate and mounted it to the MEC base. Had to put a spacer under it, and the MEC base is a hair small for it, but, it works. So, the Co-Ax and the MEC and a RC and a Lee C press and Lyman lube sizer are all on Inline plates. May add another Lee C press or two , keep a decapper, both sizes of priming tool on them.
