I'm after some first hand comments on a forster co-ax press. Anyone here use one?

I swapped them around to see what the go with the springs are and they didn't fly anywhere.

Looks pretty simple to me and bloody hell if I get to shooting much again I will be getting one of these things! They look bloody great!

I've only ever had the springs fly out once in 3 years and that was the first time I swapped the jaws around. Leant from that incident real quick.

I will get a spare set of spring just to cover my arse in the "fu@k It" moment.

I had time to get the press mounted on my bench on friday night. It looks good on my bench in the QD stand. It does sit a little high and the top lever will take some getting use to but it feels a lot better than being on the bench and having to lean over to use it. I will have a go of the other presses before i make a decision on the height, they have

I have two. The original shell holders are t PITA.

BRT sells a "Forster Shell Holder Jaw housing upgrade - non-genuine product" for $55

It's the same as the forster jaw holder but has captive springs so it's easier to change it. Highly recommended.

Would you still recommend this press Seddo? Should be a long enough period to know if you like it!

Yes mate, love it. i would recommend it to anyone. The only negative is I can't use my Hornsby bullet puller as it gets in the way of the handle, there is one made for the Forster. I only use the horned undress for the bullet puller, I still have some dies set up on Hornsby collets buts that's because I haven't loaded for them since getting the Forster.

I reckon as soon as I have my own place again, I will get one. Like to move on from the Lee. It does fine but that sparked my interest as soon a I saw a video of it in action.
