Depends on how much you want to spend.

It's really hard to beat a Forster COAX.

RCBS has good stuff but one really hasta look at the COAX. More leverage than the rockchucker, easier, faster die changes and no need for a box of shell holders.

"Oh, but RJ, what about needing all those special lock rings?"

Well, even Lee's dies have lock rings that fit the COAX. RCBS? Nope. Hornady, yep.

Plus plenty of room to FLR 300RUM's

🤷‍♂️ What else do you need to know?

That Bonanza CoAx (before Forster bought them) is 50 years old. I've run green, orange and red presses and I wouldn't have anything else at this point.

For a beginner a Lee set up is hard to beat.

Hi

Hi recoil junky,

The Bonanza CoAx is a great press for precision reloading. I could never get past the handle being on the top. It is awkward to me. After yeads of using other presses, I don't like using the CoAx. Anyone who buys one should check out how it works before buying.

I grew up with it so I guess I'm just used to it 😁

Hollywood never had anything to do with Bonanza presses and dies as far as I know.

I do know that full length resizing 300 Win mags take about half the effort of an RCBS Rockchucker in an actual side by side test.
