[QUOTE="6pakzak, post: 2356805, member: 120986"] The problem I had with the coax is when I used it to seat a bullet in a fresh Lapua case I got .005 runout, used the same Forster seater on lee and got .001 runout, both cases sized with same FL Forster die on lee, cases showed very little runout, almost perfect, seeing how good the coax works for other people makes me think I got a bum unit, oh how I hated watching that gauge move after round being made in coax and the new Lapua brass was never much more than .001 runout in lee, other brass yes but not the Lapua, so I'm guessing something had to be wrong if I was getting such bad runout after seating, really wrong. After getting the old rcbs junior and seeing how well it sized old brass compared to Lee I just thought how much better am I gonna get, do I really need this coax on top of it's issues and I was fully expecting the Jr to be a piece of crap, bringing it home I was thinking about making couple bucks selling it to a member at my club but now it's a keeper. I'm finding any decent press will make straight ammo if your cases are are straight, take a case with .0015 runout at neck and the press or die will not bring overall runout to anywhere close to .001, but I also feel that bad dies and press can multiply runout.
