[QUOTE="marchboom, post: 1625641, member: 10562"] If I had been smarter I would have saved my pennies and bought the Co-Ax press when I first started reloading in the early 70's. But I didn't want to spend that much money. A good press will last thru several generations if taken care of. [U]Don't buy cheap equipment![/U] Notice I didn't say inexpensive. The difference between a Rock Chucker and the Co-Ax is about $150. Amortize that over your remaining years and it's a few bucks a year for a press that will be much more convenient to use, IMO. I didn't realize this until I got one and saw the benefits of it. Changing of the dies is the easiest of any press. Don't go cheap on measuring equipment. Bad things can happen when certain dimensions are not adhered to. Get a good powder measure! Digital or manual, doesn't matter. This is one area where you need accuracy. Obtain, read and understand at least 3 reloading manuals. Find an EXPERIENCED mentor if possible. Have fun. [/QUOTE]
