The art of precision reloading demands equipment that matches the skill and dedication of its user. Enter the Forster Co-Ax Press with Quick-Change Jaws, an innovation designed to streamline your reloading process while ensuring exacting standards are met. This complete assembly is engineered for those who refuse to compromise on accuracy.
At the heart of this system lies a set of spring-loaded jaws, meticulously crafted to engage positively with the base cannelure for reliable extraction every time. These self-actuating jaws simplify operations: place a cartridge in the die and activate the press handle—watch as they seamlessly open and close around your case.
This ingenious mechanism ensures that upon raising the handle, cases are automatically released, allowing you to maintain rhythm without interruption. What truly sets this system apart is its adaptability; it accommodates various rim sizes through quick swaps using four distinct configurations:
The transition between these configurations is effortless—simply remove two 10-24 x 5/8” Button Head Screws (028271-020) and replace or flip sides as required. No disassembly needed beyond swapping out jaw components—a testament to both design simplicity and functional brilliance.
An alternative option exists in form of a Shell Holder Adapter Plate; however, it lacks one key feature—the ability for cartridges to float freely within their confines, unlike when utilizing Forster’s “S” or “LS” Shell Holder Jaws. Compatible exclusively with Forster's renowned Co-Ax Press equipped with S Jaws (Item FP02827), this setup promises not just consistency but excellence in each round assembled under its auspices.
If precise craftsmanship defines your approach at every stage from bench rest shooting preparation onward—the choice becomes clear: equip yourself accordingly!
