Does anyone know what brand die lock rings work or don't work in Forster Co-Ax press? Thanks, Joel in Florida

Hi Joel,I'm not all that familiar with the co-ax press,,,but they're all threaded the same.You sould be able to interchange with other brands,,,,But why? Forester has some of the better ones availiable,aside from redding.Really they're equal[in my opinion].On the side,Been to the merritt is.wildlife refuge in feb. for the past two years,,,Love the place!

Any of the pinch bolt style lock rings will work. Also the Redding lock rings, but they lock on the threads rather than the pinch bolt, which can introduce skew into the die. The best is Forster. The new Lyman also works. Hornady will work but you have to concern yourself with the flats on them. The hex style rings aren't good as they allow a great deal of skew in the die.

Joel-
I have a Co-Ax. I've ordered Forster rings from Sinclair. Recently I needed a few more and a local gun shop had some made by RCBS. That's what he said anyway. They were not packaged, just loose in a big "RCBS green" box of parts. Theirs use a hex nut rather than Forster's flathead screw.

Hope that helps, Lee
