Co-axs are selling for almost $400 up here, and no one can keep them in stock!
A box of beer for your friend might not be amiss
.

Hey Rory..is a box of beer like a box of wine?? I got this gal friend a box of wine and 2 straws..should I send straws with the beer?? Not being a drinker I know next to nothing about likker..

A "hijack", sorta. When using a co-ax, with the handle/lever in your right hand, sitting a bit to the left of center of the press, how is it feeding cases into the shell holder? It looks like you must feed from directly in front, that big hands may not fit in the press "throat"...

Very interested in owning one.

There is no problem with clearance and it is easy to place and remove cases. If you find clearance is an issue, check out Inline Fabrications link above. They make a curved linkage for the Co-Ax that allows more clearance.

Lol to make them easier to handle, they put the bottles or cans into boxes of 12, 18, 24 or some such.
So, a box of beer, or maybe a bottle of nice wine or hard stuff.
Of course, if they don't drink you might have to put some thought into getting something nice.

mdi:
I use a very different rhythm with the Co-ax than with conventional presses.
Pick up case with left hand, and pass it to my right hand.
Right hand is placing the case as the left is grabbing the yoke to swing the handle down to the right hand.
Right hand does the power of the stroke, and flips the handle up for the left to catch.
Left eases it back to the stop as the right is moving the case into an Akro bin on the right.

It sounds more complicated than it really is, as it goes pretty smoothly.
Sometimes too smoothly, as I've crunched a couple of cases that didn't drop into the jaws properly, and went cockeyed as I was ramming it into the die. Only happens when I'm belling a straight wall, as it takes no effort and goes really quickly and I'm not paying as much attention as I should.

I find that the case has to go in from directly in front. The links block off the sides enough that I can't get them in with my left hand. It really isn't an inconvenience.

It is quite different to use, but it's pretty nice.

Well the fellow doesn't drink so maybe I'll get his wife something.. he has more **** than I have....well maybe not. I have a couple partial boxes of bullets he can use to reload some ammo with..then I can help him shoot it up..LOL

[Rory McCanuck]

Hehe, I like that solution.
Everybody benefits

Hey guys this is Mike, the guy who made those forster jaw plate upgrades..
Clark is the original guy who made an upgrade.. I had issues and contacted him. He said he would not make anymore.. He's a pretty nice guy. ANyways I made one and then I made a few changes from his design and thats the story.

[r1kk1]

My b/o coax is finally shipping! I'm a happy camper. Now a rock dock from Marlin, a few trinkets from inline and plates from Mike. Oh happy days! It will look nice next to the Champion and the Ultramag.

Take care

You are going to love your Co-Ax. I wanted one of these for many many years and when I finally got one it did not disappoint. With the jaw plate upgrade it just gets better. I am happy for you.

[r1kk1]

Thank you brtelec!

I can't wait! It was B/O forever it seems.

I just can't wait!

Take care

Couple fo things for Co Ax:

a. I got a roller handle for it from inlinefabrication which is great to use .

b. They sell a strong mount with interchangeable heads so you can mount many presses to it... including the Co Ax.

c. I got 2 CO Ax presses and one never gets used as I can't figure out what a man does to need two of them. I am confused but I like having 2.

Does the roller handle work for the B3s? His website says it for older models. I really like the RockDocks because of my needs in moving everything into a gooseneck trailer. They fit on a shelf when not needed and I have two rolling cabinets with maple tops where a pair of docks can fit and still roll under the bench. With this system I can roll out one or both cabinets, attach one of the docked presses and still have the main bench freed up.

I like his lighting kits. That will be only every press I can do but with the battery pack instead of 110.

I think we have great talent in manufacturing useful reloading items on this list. I'm very impressed and would rather do business with just about anyone here.

Take care

Hope I'm not too late to the game but I'm interested in the shellplate pictured as well.

[Kiwishooter]

I'm also interested in the shellplate pictured for the Co-ax press.

I got my Co-ax a few years ago when a good friend gave up shooting........he gave me his press.........Kiwi
