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!

About the Forster Co-Ax
The Forster Co-Ax is one of my favorite single-stage presses and one I commonly recommend. Most recently I used it to load 7mm PRC.
As of filming, Midsouth Shooters Supply offers the Co-Ax for under $400, much less than its near $600 MSRP.
Forster offers a lot of value in this quality press.
It is 100% American-made and extremely versatile, complete with universal shellholders.(Each shellholder covers a range of cartridges.)
It also has built-in priming and quick change along with smooth ergonomics and leverage.
It claimed the leverage category in our 14 single-stage reloading press shootout and placed highly in our precision results.
In fact, I shot my most accurate group ever with ammo loaded on a Forster Co-Ax.
I loaded Berger 6mm 105 grain bullets over Varget in brand new Alpha Munitions brass. Five shots landed into 0.09” at 100 yards with my 6 Dasher.
Forster News!
Over the last few years, Forster has struggled to keep up with high demand. They’ve invested in new DMG MORI machines, a new Swiss screw machine, and 6-up casting. They’ve also doubled production and increased precision!
Conclusion
I’ve loaded a variety of cartridges on my Co-Ax, including recreating Berger’s .223 77 OTM factory load with amazing results.
With Forster’s machining and efficiency investments, these presses are more precise than ever! Also be sure to check out the Forster Co-Ax XL and accessories like the curved linkage.
