I will put my RCBS A-2 up against them all...My other press is an old Hollywood, wish it was a magnum size press, its a bloody beast at about 100 lbs, but its a dandy..but limited to 375 size rounds....

While I greatly appreciate my co-ax, it is not a big press. I picked up an old style shorty rockchucker to take my 1"-12 thread 500 Jeffrey dies in an adapter. It works after a fashion, but I should of held out for an Ultramag, though the new Lee press looks like a good option as well.

The Forster Co-Ax is not a "big" press because it doesn't need to be. It is superior by design.

Functionally, it will basically do anything any RCBS or Redding press will do. Further, if someone thinks there is something the Lee Classic can do that the Forster can't (aside from using a collet puller), well, you've been sorely misled and misinformed.

Another vote for the Bonanza/forester co-ax. It'll handle any loading chore with more leverage and straighter ammo to boot.
