single stage presses

I'd not get the Summit

+1 on the Reddings I just bought a T7 and ultramag last week. Great presses

what makes you think either one of those are top quality presses? the only mec we've got a report on was so crooked it was unusable out of the box. frankford arsenal is a modern day lee. if we're throwing opinions out there about the best press for the money i'd say its an RCBS partner. the millions of those out there in service for many years and still going is a testament. im not an rcbs guy at all but that's the best press for the money.

An A2 is head and shoulders above a rock chucker, mine was made in the 60's and I gave it to Jim Hardy when he was alive. I have a cast-iron Lee that good and a Redding that good but I size on a Redding co-ax. There are a lot of good ones out there, but think the A2is at the top and if you get the ones that were made to make bullets on are among the best..... jim

I have Forster Co-Ax. Love it best. Also have classic and LNL progressive.

But best single stage for the money at this time is either the new MEC or the Frankford Arsenal’s new coaxial press which is basically the generic script version of the Forster.

I have 9 presses. I can not pass deals on presses at gun show. But the Forester Co-Ax is one of my most favorites.

I thought I had too much stuff. You may be in 1st place on most equipment.

I still use an old RCBS Junior from the early 70s. Even went through a garage fire over 20 years. Still does all I need with my RCBS competition dies. I too do not use the primer arm. Like my 15 yr old. Lee hand one better. I load approx 1000 .308 round a year.

Is that a granite surface plate holding up your RCBS 10-10?

It is a steel plate. Thanks for asking.

9 presses! How much toilet paper are you hoarding?

 

[Cecil S.]

I use 2 presses. RCBS Jr2 and a Forester Co-Ax Love them both for my skill set. But 9 presses I think I would forget where I left my dies. Nice Loading Room.

We never use TP here in Wyoming. We wipe on big warm Jack Rabbits. When we finish they just run away. No problem or cost involved.

By the way I had bad luck with the RCBS 10-10. I am now using a Dillon D-Terminator Electronic. This is a dependable scale.

That sounds divine. Not only soft and absorbent but warm too.

I pity the poor guy that has to skin one

Why would anyone ever skin a Jack Rabbit? They are only skin and bones and carry a load of fleas.
