Best magnum rifle reloading press? RCBS Ammomaster2 vs Forster Coax?

[Inline6]

@Tanks you’re a bad man.

Not a bad man a smart man. That unit is fast, I can trim, chamfer inside and out with one motion. Does it cost a little coin yes, that said what is hard to give up money or time? You are buying time with this unit.

Which press is best, or is there a third alternative better even yet for nitro express magnum sized cartridges

If you are serious about reloading you should give Prazipress a hard look.

They are a very nice press, it just comes with a wait time. For the money I too would buy the Area419 press. More features per dollar spent IMHO.

I have been reloading for 55+ years and just a few years ago bought a Co-Ax press as my ammo really sucked runout wise. I was using a RCBS RockChucker press and RCBS Competiton dies as well as Hornady New Dimension dies.

At the same time I bought the Co-Ax I bought Redding Competition neck collet dies. Everything came together and my ammo is on par with anything anyone else can load and my F-Class scores went up as well as my 200 and 300 ayrds groups sizes shrunk.

It also means I set my dies up and never, ever touch them again.

For the same type of bullet yes but for different bullets wouldn’t you need different seater die setup?

Have any of our RSA members used the Bullet Corp Press? Looking to upgrade my kit, and an Area 419 is out of the question. So I’m looking at that one or a Co-ax

The 419 is remarkable. There is a Reddington turret press that is pretty close, and a modification kit for $100 that makes it even closer to the quality of the 419.

As a 3rd option: the Heavy Präzipress from Turban. It will not get any better

I second this. The Prazipress is incredible. Ultra ridgid, and sooo smooth… I use the 120mm for the NE cartridges. You can also get a 140mm press.
Expensive but worth the wait in my opinion.

Well, I’d like to publicly insult @Tanks for causing enough envy in me that I’m $2200 lighter in the pocketbook.

Yep, I bought the damned 419 press with all the bells and whistles.

I was going to be completely content with some jinky RCBS press single stage until he posted photos of that luscious magnum turret press. I might add, the only magnum turret that I believe exists capable of doing largebore dies too.

Thanks for nothing!

You will not be sorry, the Area 419 press is worth every penny and the turret system is a huge timesaver allowing you to set up a cartridge and come back at a later date repeating the exact same rounds without resetting up the dies.

It won't help @rookhawk but for others that want to venture down the Area 419 path, the week of April 19th each year they have a sale and the press and other products are at least 10% off and usually free shipping.
