[QUOTE="kiwikid, post: 1568811, member: 56094"] One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that the Co-Ax not only allows the die to "float" but the case is also able to move from side to side in the jaws of the shell plate. When I bought a concentricity gauge my cases were coming out of my chambers with less than .001" run out.After neck sizing them with Redding comp bushing dies they would have up to .005" run out. This was with a RCBS Junior cast iron press. I bought the Co-Ax and now I find that there is no additional run out in my case necks. So in my case the Co-Ax does make more consistent ammo. For those of you that are tired of the shell holder springs flying across the room when changing jaws Foster has made a new plate that has pins that hold the springs in place which can be bought as an extra. This is fitted to the new presses. [/QUOTE]
