I surprised myself with it! Pretty cool selfie gift. Bummer though, I will likely be gone when it arrives.

Probably leave it on front porch. I looked in my files, misplaced your address. Post it again.

If the timing is right maybe Judd can grab it for you since he offered to "watch" my truck for me. Either way, if the porch light is on I'm gone. Thanks for looking out for me! This is what I love about THF - we're all family!
PS Judd feel free to bring the wife for a nude swim (<wink> I'll turn the video camera off). It's ok here.

I'll help you set it up when I bring the truck back. I'm not going to acknowledge the swim thing...I don't know what your talking about Seriously, if you need help with any of the loading stuff just holler.

It changed my approach to hand loading, and all for the better. Because I load as match ammo as I can, and for a long list of cartridges, the turret press was no longer efficient. I made a shelf for all of the dies, to be stored neatly. Now I can size .22-250, seat 7 Rem Mag, then switch over to seating 6.5 Creedmoor with zero fuss. Best press on the market as far as I'm concerned. Oh, and zero spent primers have hit the floor since putting the Co-Ax in service.

You're a lefty and normally shoot left? Eye dominance?

That's neat. Never thought about shooting opposite. I am confident that I would do poorly at best.

The rifle in the pic belongs to a friend, that I was working up a load for. Shooting with the non dominate hand or eye can be learned through practice. Read when I was a kid that to be prepared for any situation you need to be proficient when shooting from either right or left. Practiced with the BB gun until I could shoot equally from either shoulder. Still serves well 45 years later with shotguns and rifles. Still not there with handguns but dang close. Has taken a lot of practice though, but has worked out very well when hunting. MM you have ordered a fantastic press, have used lots of presses over the years and wonder why I waited so long to get one of the Forsters

Press arrived while out of town. Asked somebody to get it from my doorstep. Not going to see the person for a few days so I can't fondle it!

Brownells has a special on both the Co-Ax and RCBS chargemaster! Anyone want to loan me your cc or cash? That's a good price on the Co-ax but check shipping charges. I paid a higher price for mine but the shipping was half as much. My total cost was a few dollars less through Graf's than what it would have been through Brownell's. The Chargemaster can be had elsewhere for quite a bit less. Also, RCBS has $75 mail-in rebate on $300+. My ScAmEx card number is 3456 789098 76543, expiration is 01/17.

I'm trying out Brownells Edge? so I'm not paying any shipping, so far it seems fine but time will tell. Asked wife for an advance on my allowance and all I got was "the look" damm!

I'm glad you mentioned Edge, I forgot about the program and need to evaluate signing up.
You need to control the money and get your wife in check! <grin>
Did my card number I shared not work?

Na, they wanted the security number and what I tried didn't work but they were going by the address you gave earlier to verify.
