[QUOTE="marchboom, post: 1792644, member: 10562"] Don't bother getting the Co-Ax if runout is not a very important issue, if quick and easy die changes are not a big deal, if you already have the necessary shell holders and if you don't need any more leverage. But if these issues are important then I would get one. I got into handloading in the early 70's and didn't get a Co-Ax until last year. I just wish I would have saved my money and bought the Co-Ax as my first press. Just the ability to change dies quickly is worth the extra money. And the dies always remain adjusted to the way you set them up. So many handloaders worry about the extra cost of this press. But when compared to all the stuff we buy for our pastime, (guns, handloading equipment, cleaning supplies, range fees, books and manuals, bullets, primers, cases, powder, etc.) this press is probably at the bottom of the list as far as price goes especially when you amortize it over your lifetime. You will appreciate this press every time you use it. [/QUOTE]
