Frankford Arsenal - M-Press™ Reloading Press 

Oh...sorry to hear that. Thanks for sharing buddy

1 1/4 can not be used...sorry. I will test if rimmed cases will work with the shell holder asap

If you're looking for a buyer of that 'awful' Forster Co Ax, pick me. The Frankford is a Chinese made knock off of the Forster. Do a little research & you'll find folks who have had plenty of issues with the Frankford. ;-)

@@MikeSiemens88 I have no doubt that the Forster will work with some of the small cartridges, but even with 45 Colt you have to use a special thick rim shell holder, the problem is it does not have enough length for the larger cartridges, the capper is crude, there is limited access, and the handle comes down right on of the centre line of the press, which makes you do a jig every time you operate it, the die rings a "self aligning" which means they wobble about as you load, they also rely on just 4 threads in an aluminium lock ring, which takes the full thrust of loading, OK for small cases, but no good for larger cases. The do look good on the bench, and are very well made, but no good for me.

@@453421abcdefg12345 sorry to hear you are having problems with your co-ax. Less access is a common problem with it but it is a price to pay for the accuracy a double column design offers. The FA M-press seems to have solved this with just a bigger overall unit. It is true that you’ll need different sized clamps, but it still beats having a dozen shell holders. The wobble actually is a good thing, since it provides some degree of free floating that allow for better case to die alignment and less runout. Trust me: there are many pro shooters (not my case) that prefer this press than single stage or turret precisely for this feature. Four threads in a lock ring is pretty standard, I don’t know if you’ll find a thicker one. The Forster’s lock ring is among the widest for sure. Didn’t know they were made of aluminum, always thought that lock rings had to be made of steel too so its threads aren’t peeled off by the die. The Co-Ax Says say it’s supposed to handle up to .338 Lapua cartridges in length. What long cartridges are you having trouble with? My biggest gripe with this press is that it is not compatible with bullet seating does with micrometers, the lever isn’t tall enough for clearance. I don’t care for the tedious priming system either. To be honest, I never found a press with a priming system that I liked, I prefer hand or bench primers.

Are you talking about these die blocks?

@@wiederladerTv I think if we all boycott buying any reloading supplies, one group may lean on the other to step up production and get some primers and powder back on the selves. This everlasting shortage is ridiculous.

@@lowhydrogen7018a1 Oh yes, the everlasting shortage is more than rddiculous...hope we have regular prices for reloading products again very soon

@@wiederladerTv I don’t mind paying a little more just to have them. Not 100$ for a pound of powder on GB or 1$ a primer. If we had to pay 20% more to entice the industry to bump up production and expand their facilities, I think it would be a wise investment.
