Opinons on a press

[Gary O'Neal]

Is that a serious question?

Totally serious. But at this point, I'm not sure I'm ready for the answer.

Criminy, not as much debate as I thought. If I was really in to BR or any precision rifle a center post supported turret is not what I'd choose, run out is inherent in that set up. But for most of us humans, just like the firearms we use, almost all of them are better than we are anyway.
Choose what makes you happy.

A press has nothing to do with how straight your ammo ends up unless its so shitty it forces a case off centerline (which ive never seen it happen even on the cheapest c frame cast pot metal lee presses). Not a press sold today at any price will influence a case crooked.

This!!!!! and I am going to make some Co-ax fanboys bawl like a fat dog stuck in a drain pipe...the idea that you can load ammo with one press and then switch only the press to a Co-ax and load "better" or "more accurate ammo" is a joke, period, end of story. Yes I owned a Co-ax, yes I loaded on one. Yes, the time you gain slapping a die in the channel is wasted ten times over when you have to piddle around with that ridiculous shell holder, especially when the god forsaken spring flips across the room and gets lost...and yes, the ammo I loaded was not a bit different in quality or accuracy than what I loaded on any other press I have owned and I didn't start this hobby yesterday.
I have some Forster equipment I like and it is all {including the Co-ax} quality made stuff. But different don't make it better or more accurate. I tell people the Co-ax is the Colt Python of the reloading presses...you pay all that money because you hear those out there that believe it is the greatest, then when you get one if you are honest you end up shaking your head saying "where's the beef???" "What's all this hype about??"
The belief it is the greatest and all this hype is a religion...not a fact. Buy it if you want to believe, but do not be surprised when the cold hard truth is it did nothing for you any other press wont do.
