[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1877666, member: 113501"] It's one thing to try and improve on a design to make a product that is better in quality, cost or features but to me that FA seems to be made like that only to compete with a $350 press instead of a $130 press. I don't believe it is superior to a good "O" style press. It's like Chinese digital calipers, I avoid the ones that look like Mitutoyo copies because their engineering budget was put in to trying to look like a quality caliper instead of making a quality caliper. Full disclosure, I dont believe the RCBS Summit is worth the price premium over an "O" style press. If it was within $20 my opinion might change. Also I think the Co-Ax is a poor value comparatively. I'm sure it is great but I've never heard anyone say it is better than arbor press style reloading so I'm going to stick with my inexpensive "O" style press and work on technique. If that fails me, I'm getting an arbor press and new dies. [/QUOTE]
