[QUOTE="punter, post: 3102340, member: 129720"] I recently bought the Forster CoAx Primer Seater and I absolutely HATE it. Flip tray doesn't flip the primers. You're supposed to be able to load the feed tube straight from it, but that doesn't work well either. If there is more than a few primers in the tray, they logjam at the opening of the feed tube and don't slide in. There is no cover, so you end up loosing primers when you try to unfu*k the logjam. Primers often flip as they exit the feed tube and slide down onto the seating face. I lost (and had to remove) bunches of primers because they flipped and ended up getting seated sideways or backwards. I watched and reproduced the error many times... actually seeing the primer flip as it left the feed tube and dropped onto the seating face, The clearances on the jaws are jacked up as well (there are two sides to the jaws... you pick the side based on rim thickness). I only load high quality (Lapua and Norma) brass. The brass works perfectly in the priming tool on my CoAx press. However, it doesn't work in this seating tool. One side of the jaws lacks sufficient clearance and the rims wont slip underneath it. The other side is so sloppy that the case wobbles around and the primer wont seat properly. The Forster CoAx Bench Primer Seater is absolute garbage. [/QUOTE]
