No need to complicate the metallic and semi-metallic reloading process. The Foster Co-Ax® press maintains unparalleled simplicity while delivering the renowned Forster precision that competitive shooters and ballistic experts demand. This single-stage press stands as one of the most advanced and reliable reloading machines available on the market today, engineered specifically for precision handloading of rifle and pistol cartridges.Featuring a robust C-frame design, the Co-Ax® press ensures maximum rigidity and stability during every stage of the reloading cycle. It comes equipped with a standard shell holder compatible with the vast majority of cartridge cases used in modern ballistic applications, providing versatility across multiple calibers. The press incorporates dual floating guide rods that guarantee flawless alignment between the die and the cartridge case, minimizing case deformation and ensuring consistent bullet seating depth and neck tension.A key innovation in the Co-Ax® system is its unique piston cleaning mechanism, which channels all used and carbon-fouled pistons through a dedicated tube. This design effectively prevents abrasive particles and residue from contaminating critical working components, thereby extending the service life of the press and maintaining optimal performance. Shooters and reloaders benefit from a maintenance-friendly system that reduces downtime and enhances reliability.
The Co-Ax® press head operates with absolutely zero torsional stress, ensuring that longevity and durability are the norm rather than the exception in high-volume reloading environments.
Thanks to its precisely engineered linkage and pivot system, all operational forces remain perfectly balanced whether the press is under maximum load or at rest, delivering smooth, consistent operation with minimal user fatigue.
Mechanically, the Co-Ax® press offers three times the mechanical advantage compared to conventional dual-C-frame presses, allowing for effortless case resizing, bullet seating, and primer seating with superior control and precision.
Its innovative floating shell holder design aligns the cartridge case concentrically with the die, eliminating runout and ensuring uniform neck tension and bullet alignmentcritical factors for achieving optimal ballistic performance and accuracy.
Designed with ambidextrous use in mind, the Co-Ax® press accommodates both right- and left-handed shooters, making it a versatile choice for any reloading bench setup.
