Introducing the Forster Co-Ax XL, a reloading press that stands as a testament to precision engineering and versatility for those who demand excellence in their craft. Built with Extended Long Range (ELR) shooters in mind, this press accommodates both 1 1/4-inch and 7/8-inch dies, offering unmatched adaptability right out of the box. It comes equipped with two adaptor lock rings, ensuring you can seamlessly switch between die sizes without missing a beat.
The Co-Ax XL is constructed from robust steel weldment instead of traditional cast iron. This choice material provides superior strength and durability while maintaining an impressive range of caliber compatibility. While it does not feature an integrated priming system—a deliberate design choice—it includes enhancements like added lighting for improved visibility during operation.
A hallmark of its design is the innovative floating jaw system paired with quick die change capability. These features ensure consistent alignment and ease of use across various calibers. Its mechanical advantage is enhanced by ball bearings in the handle-frame connection, delivering one of the smoothest reloading experiences available today.
The press retains key elements found in Forster's standard models: an efficient spent primer catch system ensures clean operation; meanwhile, a substantial 13-inch handle offers unrivaled leverage when needed most. Should your task require less forceful action, our Short Handle accessory adapts effortlessly to this model.
For those working with specialized ammunition such as .50 BMG or emerging calibers like .375 CheyTac or .408 CheyTac—rest assured that Forster is preparing compatible dies to expand your capabilities further. Note that adjustments may be necessary when using thicker shell holders common to these rounds due to differences from standard dimensions.
The Forster Co-Ax XL emerges not just as another tool but as an essential partner for any serious marksman committed to achieving peak performance through meticulous handloads.
