The Forster Co-Ax has been around for a few years now, but has been difficult for some to find. I’m happy to announce Midsouth Shooters Supply has them available with enhancements!

You are SO mean showing a 8 pound jug of my Beloved Retumbo! Starting to change over certain recipes to StaBall HD, but saving my RT for my 338L. Cheers!
for real, back in the day I was one of the few reloaders I knew. Now its impossible to get powder, let along all the rest of the supplies.
I’m still using my Forester Co-ax press and it’s a year 1987 model. Back then it was called a Bonanza Forester Co-ax. I think possibly it was sold to a different company which still makes it today. I’ve owned several presses over the years but I always go back to this press for precision reloading. Thanks for the content!!!
The press was developed in 1968 by Clarence Purdie, founder of Bonanza Shooting Sports, in conjunction with the U.S Army Marksmanship Unit. Forster Products purchased Bonanza in 1984 and has been making the Co-Ax reloading press ever since 😁
@@vincealber9162 thank you for this information. I really appreciate it and your info is very interesting. Hey, I have learned something here. Thank you!!!
The Bonanza Co-ax was my very first press, and the press I learned to reload on. It has it's short comings, but it makes very consistently accurate ammo. My Co-ax will always have a special place in my heart.

Not gonna lie, love my Bonanza Co-Ax. Had it almost 35 years and have had no trouble getting very low tolerances on all the important measurements.
Got mine when you did your press shootout. I saw your review. And noticed, every time you did a load, there is was, quietly flexing in the background of the video. I can't be happier with mine.
Purchased my Bonanza press mid 70s from Esman's in Pitcarin PA where they were set up that you could try them. Loaded thousands of 44/357 270, 222 sent the press back to Forster a few years ago to have it checked out has a little bit of a small yoke by the handle. talked 4 of my buddies into buying one after they tried. Mine purchased a shell plate holder from an individual who built them with encapsulated springs ,never disappointed . Use with different brands of dies ,just buy the correct rings
I'm handicapped. I can only swing. The over the top handle. Like this.
I purchased the RCBS SUMMIT. I have to tighten the base screws every use. If not every 100 strokes.
I wish, I had bought this.
Just ordered one from brownells and gets here Monday!
Hello Gavin. Good report / review / information! Mine was made about 20+ years ago. So much to like about the press. Top of the press handle mounted in the center for left-handed or right-handed use. Over the press handle with plenty of leverage/strength, instead of the "knee-knocker" handles on most presses. Especially great is the easy way the dies go into the press. No fumbling around with die adjustments. And.... they are made in the U.S.A., not in communist China.
Writing from Leavenworth. I bought a Forster, from your recommendation several years ago. Could not be happier. Also got great enjoyment out of talking and shaking your hand at your shop in Cashmere.
Damn bro whatever you did to deserve Leavenworth, you probably shouldn't do that 😂
I went back and forth on the Forster co-ax and the nexus press, I ended up getting the nexus press, which I love. My son opted for the Forster co-ax and he loves it. Great presses. I reloaded on my Rockchucker for 25 plus years and it was time for a new press. I still use my Rockchucker for decapping etc. If anyone is considering a new press, the Forster is a great option. If money isn't as much of an issue the Nexus is also amazing.
I have 2 Co-Ax presses. They were much my favorites for decades until......
The Nexus Press. It is absolutely superior in every way to the Co-Ax! The Co-Ax certainly can still load good concentric ammo but in the same way of comparing a Chevy Impala to a Rolls Royce Silver Ghost both will get you there but one is qualitatively immensely superior to the other. If you can afford one buy the Nexus press. The Nexus press is absolutely superior......
I bought mine new a year ago. I absolutely love the snap in/out die changes, and not having to fool with shell holders is a big plus. It has WAY more leverage than any other press I've ever used. This press is a total game changer and has made such a difference in my hand loading. And yes, my most accurate loads ever have been loaded with this press. I would only sell it if you gave me three times what I paid for it - then I would go buy three more!
Got my press last year for Christmas
My first press, I love it ❤
Thanks, Gavin 👍
I like the high precision tools!
my favorite, all my loading done on the Co-Ax, some priming too.
Had mine for 10 years or so and love mine
Heck of a press! The most accurate ammo I've ever loaded came off that press...
Nice! Co-Ax is awesome.
Forster is an amazing press. I have had mine for years and love it. To the point it is the only press I use. The precision results are great! Cannot say enough good about it. Cheers!
The Co-Ax is the best press ever.........Until you try a Nexus!
E aí, o que aconteceu com o Mossberg Patriot?
You should have mentioned that the CO-AX is available as a blemished for under $300 direct from Forster.
The Best.
Great Report. Thank You. UR
I see Gunstop has them in stock as well. 382
I prefer the Redding Ultra mag… no offense…
I got my best groups loading with my Ultramag.
Got my bonanza co-ax in the early 80s before they before forester. Bought it from Kesselrings gun shop in Burlington for 95$
Good report here.
Is there a new model number for the newer press?
A lee is 100 and works really good
The Lee classic cast (trying to compare cast iron to cast iron here) is about $200 on Amazon, and isn't in the same quality or feature league as this press :)
Nice press, but I don't like having to try and work above my shoulders. That's a no go, so I went with the REDDING PRO no primer mess just like the Forester and can do primers I don't, working over my head is not a good idea for me and having to have to stand when I can sit if I choose and was half the price but I know others that have it and they like it and are very impressed with the REDDING. AIM SMALL, GOOD HUNTING, GOD BLESS.
This press is $760 in UK 😪
Never mind the press. 8# of Retumbo!! Good lord
I Have one. It's great!
Hi Gavin! I don't yet have a nice Forster Coax but it's on the list.
Off topic...
I keep hearing how a projectile keeps accelerating way out beyond the muzzle, like 10's of feet and I'm wondering if you'd do an experiment to prove or disprove this. I'm really wondering how this would happen. Thanks! You've got a great channel! 👍👍
You are listening to the wrong people. You should listen to me, I have a bridge in New York for sale cheap, you might be interested.
How do you know if I’m ordering the newest version , or getting the older one the distributor is trying to move out ?
You say 4-up casting but the graphics say 6-up.
I rember when they were 200 and change ..
