Frankfort Arsenal coax press

Has anyone bought this press or try to use it just wondering what everybody's thoughts are compared to the Forester coax?

I can't really compare it to others as I have no experience with other brands. I like the ease of using it when it comes to full sizing it takes very little effort. Changing dies is a breeze if you use a locking ring. Once you adjust it it's a matter of just sliding into place, literally takes a couple of seconds. I don't reload in large batches so this is pretty simple and easy for me to use as I reload in batches like one day I will deprime and size, another day I will trim to length, another day I will prime and so on. For me it does the job.

Though I've only looked at this Frankford Arsenal press and find it's really not much different from the Forester, in my case, I like the Forester better (just seems to me to be better built) and I've grown to really like the priming tool that's part of it. I didn't think I'd ever really use that, but it does a great job of seating primers to a uniform depth rather quickly (once I determined a system), and . . . I figured out a way to adjust that depth when I want.

I backed off from buying one because I cannot use my redding competition shellholders with it.

I am a great believer in "you get what you pay for" or stated a different way "if you don't pay for it, you don't get it". Years ago I stepped up and spent the money on a Forester COAX and have never looked back. If you haven't noticed, this is not a past time that rewards the financially timid very well.
