NEW Expanding Mandrel Die from L.E. Wilson

Overview: Forster Co-Ax Quick Change Jaws

I absolutely LOVE my Forster Co-Ax single-stage reloading press. It’s got precision, efficiency, and made-in-USA quality. It even looks nice (See the Forster Co-Ax highlight in my 14- press shootout HERE). The one thing that has frustrated me has been the small-to-large shellholder changeover process and vice-versa. It’s not a big deal, but if I […]
