I have a Bonanza press, and I'm considering a .375 H&H rifle.

Can somebody tell me if there is a clearance problem with the dies?

I found this comment on Sinclair's site:

"Redding Competition seaters longer than 308 Winchester will not work in this press due to length."

Any recommendation on brand of dies?

Thanks,
Rick.

Rick;

I don't think you will have a problem with RCBS or Redding Regular dies. The problem comes with the added length of the Benchrest micrometer seating die. They are quite long. If I get a chance I will check how much room there is between the shell holder and the yoke of the Co-ax handle, and then you may be able to get the length of a set of .375 dies and then you know. I do have a co-ax, but don't load anything longer than .300 Win mag. with Hornady new Dimension dies, but I don't recall if I ever used them in the co-ax. I have 3 other presses I use too.

Don't know about the Redding dies, but the RCBS dies for the 30/378 work fine in mine.
I also prime them with it.

Yes, the long-action Redding Competition/Micrometer seater dies are too long for the Co-Ax. Solution: buy Forster's micrometer seater instead. It's just as good of a die (if not better) and costs about the same. I have yet to figure out why Redding needs to make there competition seaters so long. The Forster does the same thing, but is significantly shorter. Go figure.

Rick: I've loaded my .375 Ack Imp and .416 Rigby on my Co-Ax, using standard RCBS dies, and never had a problem.

Thanks for all the answers.

I have a Forster micrometer seating die for 7TCU, and it's pretty tall. I'm glad to hear that they have a .375HH version.

Rick.
