Think I remember these getting rave reviews

Those who are using this for ALL their Metallic reloading, still a HUGE Thumbs up???

Anyone miss their Redding Big Boss II or Rockchucker???

thinking about making a change

do they mount to table easily? Can they be mounted to a piece of wood and C-clamped to the table?

YUGE thumbs up! Mine is mounted to a piece of wood and I clamp it to my bench.

I love mine. Wish I’d bought one years back,and still use my rockchucker as well. Easy to mount 4 screw/bolt holes located in the base and plenty of room if you choose to clamp. Good luck finding one. Took me 6 mo. To find mine. Bought it used of the hide from a guy that only used it a few times. They come up for sale on the hide every few weeks or so but they are gone in minutes.

I have one...it's the bees knees. But toward the end of last year Academy put the Rockchuckers on sale...I bought one...it's still in the box but I will eventually pull it out. I bought it to do 223 because I don't want to have to swap out the shell holder on the Coax...I know it's not that big of a deal but it'll be nice once I don't have to and just go to the other press.

That's a minor issue but one I'm not a fan of...

A change from what? What is it that isn’t doing what you need it to?

One of the best purchases I ever made for the loading bench!

I'm loading for 10 rifle cartridges (20 dies) and 4 pistol cartridges (12 dies). A turret press cannot keep up with that amount of die swapping, without swapping turrets. And a single stage threaded press means timing marks have to be on the press, and the die ring to make sure I screw the die into exactly the same place evert time.

Put Hornady lock rings on every single die you have, and just slide the die into the press. The primer catcher is genius.

Only two complaints, switching from the large jaws to the small jaws for .223 is a little bit of a pain. But it is only a 2 minute job. The other is that I can't use my Grip-N-Pull bullet puller with the Co-Ax. But, I've got a Rock Chucker sittinf right next to the Co-Ax for that.

I think they claim more leverage than the typical press design, and I believe it.

Yup, agree with all above including the grip and pull application. Pulling bullets and small cases like Jason said are all my older persses get used for after the upgrade. Mine is mounted on a 12" square piece of 3/4" plywood that bolts to the bench or clamped to the workmate. There is an aftermarket set of jaws that makes the change quicker and easier

I have alerts out to all distributors, still not sure I want to spend the $350 +/-

Even Forester is out of stock and they charge over $500 on their website loco

Put it on backorder or get notified on Midway. I found mine at Grafs and Sons. They sell out quick and used prices are often over the new price.
