Whats the best single stage press...

[1Joel1]

I really, really like my Co-Ax and I can not imagine a better primer catching system. My only complaint with the Co-Ax is that I can not use my RCBS collet style bullet puller with it. Not that I'm pulling bullets all the many at a time, but...…….. It was a near toss up for me between the MEC and the Co-Ax.

That's strange, mine works with it. I have to maneuver it so the handle isn't in the way, but otherwise, it is fine.

While I am impressed by the Prazipress 120mm press and would love to have one. The price of $960 just seems excessive. I am planning at some point to add a single stage to my reloading. I have picked the Hornady Iron. It is rock solid and the price is reasonable enough that I could buy a Giraud Power Trimmer with the money I would have left over.

Without a doubt this is the best reloading press I've ever owned.

This is the next one for me but I am hearing a lot about the MEC and I’ve never seen one I wonder if there any better than a rcbs Hornaday Lyman or Lee?

I own a MEC (Redding Big Boss II before it) and I've got no complaints at all, plus you have the option of buying a stand for the press which gives it more height and assists in leverage. You won't be disappointed with it.

The press has let me remove 3 presses and replace them with 1. I've gotten as close to all zero runout with the prazepress 140mm with little to no work. I haven't seen the MEC in person but looks like a good press.

Ron,
You need to come kill some Ground hogs and we can visit about your Prazipress!... I’m gonna buy the MEC at Sportsman’s tomorrow but think I’ll get the Prazipress sometime this year!

Any particular reason for the 140 over the 120 ?

Have a look to the Talon Advanced...

A little more room to load larger cartridges I would have had to tip my 408 rounds to get them into the 120mm

I guess we can add this $1200 gem to the party now. Just announced today.
