The Co-Ax is heralded as the best out there and it stands up to that claim. Clearly more leverage and very tight tolerances increase accuracy and precision for shoulder bumps and seating depth. It's also nice to have the universal shell holder and primer catch built in. Overall I'm thrilled and it's now my primary press. \n\nCouple caveats to consider: \n- First, get the short arm. You won't need the long one aside from full-length resizing and it's more convenient with the shorter lever. \n- Consider the C-shaped side bars to increase access to the shell holders. Lots of reviews on this and I'm going to get them as the straight ones are in the way. \n- The priming station works, but honestly it's easier to use a Lee or RCBS hand primer. \n- You'll need a place for the spent primer catch. It could stay on there, but it's just asking to get banged up and isn't that strong. Still really handy to have. \n- Definitely get a light for inside, really handy mod. \n- Forster seating die doesn't fit for shorter cases (ie, 22 Hornet) because the micrometer is fat and comes down too far. Redding, RCBS, etc will be fine as they are narrower. I have to use that one on my old press. \n- It does take all other dies, but you'll have to replace the lock rings for it to fit snugly. No big deal as they come in 12-packs, but it's one more thing to buy. \n\nOtherwise, this press is amazing. Just a few nitpicky things as it's near perfect.","textLength":1474,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":true,"autoModerated":true,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":1,"downVotes":0,"orderId":"44483291","dimensions":[{"type":1,"dimensionId":3,"dimensionLabel":"Value","id":11,"code":"VAL05","label":null,"value":5},{"type":1,"dimensionId":4,"dimensionLabel":"Durability","id":16,"code":"DUR05","label":null,"value":5},{"type":1,"dimensionId":5,"dimensionLabel":"Quality","id":21,"code":"QUAL5","label":null,"value":5}],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":null,"firstName":"Eric","lastName":"Harstad","emailAddress":"[email protected]","externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":"2025-04-12T17:04:30-04:00","purchaseDate":"2025-01-07T00:23:41-05:00","dateCreated":"2025-03-21T14:56:59-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"catalogItems":[{"sku":"757253-028271","title":"Co-Ax Reloading Press with “S” Jaws","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/757253-028271","category":"reloading-presses","reviewCount":76,"ratingCount":76,"averageRating":4.9,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":1,"2":0,"3":0,"4":5,"5":70},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":6287493,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Fantastic press!","text":"Love this press!

Loaded with features not found on other presses such as "Snap in and Snap out" die changing, three times the mechanical advantage of ordinary "C" presses, easy right or left hand operation, primer seater that is fully adjustable to hold brass cases and adjust primer seating depth and self-actuating shellholder jaws that open and close with movement of the press handle eliminating the need to use standard shellholders. Standard jaws are included that fit the majority of standard calibers. \n \nA self-contained spent primer catcher system passes all primers, ground glass and dirty carbon through a tube and into a cup, keeping all working parts, as well as the floor, free of dirt and abrasives. The drop tube, which is threaded into the guide block below the shell holder, directs all residue into the cup below the press. The tube and cup follow the guide block during the sizing and seating process. Simply unscrew the cup to empty it. \n \n*Note: Images shown with reloading die in use for representation purposes only.\n \nRecommended additional items (at a minimum):\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Die set</li>\n\t<li>Forster Aluminum Cross Bolt Die Lock Ring</li>\n\t<li>Powder scale</li>\n\t<li>Reloading Handbook</li>\n\t<li>Dial caliper</li>\n\t<li>Case Loading Block</li>\n\t<li>Primer flip tray</li>\n\t<li>Case lube (for bottleneck cartridges)</li>\n</ul>\n \n \n\nFeatures:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Snap-in and snap-out die changing.

Due to the design of the linkage and pivots, all forces are in equilibrium whether the press is at maximum work load or at rest.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Our Co-Ax Press has three times the mechanical advantage of an ordinary “C” press. It’s so effortless, full length sizing can actually be accomplished by operating the handle of the press with the little finger! There’s no pain but plenty of gain.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The Co-Ax Press delivers perfect alignment of the die and the case because the shell holder jaws are designed to float with the die, thereby permitting the case to center precisely in the die.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>With no frame supports or swinging primer arms to interfere or cause an obstruction, the Co-Ax Press provides plenty of elbow room for both right handed or left handed operators.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The Co-Ax Press accepts any standard ⅞″ X 14 reloading die, some with existing locking rings. We recommend Forster Cross Bolt Locking Rings.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The unique top priming device seats primers to factory specifications. The seater is always at right angles to the case head. Primers will not flip or tip. They will be seated straight, level and at a uniform distance below the case head.
