[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1120355, member: 25383"] In a Co-Ax and using the generic Forster seater, you will seat bullets within a +/-.00075" window, or .0015". The Ultra is no more accurate (I own several Ultra seaters) than the standard seater. I like the Forster a little more than the Redding. Less backlash, and maybe a touch tighter. Whidden seaters look good, but have never used one. The Co-Ax is a well known press for being at the top right out of the box, but still only as good as the end user. I've used everything from an RCBS Partner to the Redding Ultra something. None are better than an arbor press with inline dies. Setting things up is very easy with the Co-Ax, and most all of already know this. Still you can do things to make like easier here and there. A used to be close friend of mine uses the big Redding, and I've done a lot of 30-06 and .444 on it. It was OK, but really no better than the Rock Chucker or a Couple older presses I've used. Yet the Co-Ax was clearly easier to work with. The Redding turret press has a reaction bar to help fight the indexing plate flex. Have seen it in use, and it's probably better than the other indexing presses. I'll do just fine with a single stage press; thank you! gary [/QUOTE]
