Just used my new Forster Co-Ax press to load some .458 Socom, but found it a bit fiddly getting the loaded rounds out of the shellholder. No big deal, but I was wondering if there is a trick. I think I am going to love this press!

In any case, your opening cam is adjusted wrong; make the cam go upward, and it will open the jaws, even if you are using the wrong ones, which I can't believe you are. I have an original Bonanza Co-Ax.

Do not extend the pointed rod too far as you will bend the metal plate holding the jaws/springs in place. If it cracks/brakes it is expensive to replace. There are several sizes of jaws for sale from very small ( .25 ACP , to very large .50-110 )
