Diamondback. I doubt there is a more secure cover on the market today. Installed one on my previous truck and was the first thing I did to my new truck

I often wondered if a tumbler with stainless steel pins would clean the inside and outside of reloading dies. I would try it, nothing to lose.

That is the new “jumbo version” of the Co-Ax. Not the press under discussion
Own 4. Three are 45’s, one is a basic model, then a mid range, and finally the Match model. Also have one of their 1911’s in 10 mm.

For 30-06 and under it is my press of choice. Shorter stroke is well fitted for handgun rounds.
For bigger stuff and pulling bullets a RC, Ammo master, or Big Boss is a better choice.

Besides, the press could be passed onto someone who will remember your generosity for decades to come.

Because as soon as you drilled out one to a larger size you will find out a year or so later you added another caliber to your reloading arsenal and now you need the smaller size collet again.

I would go as far as say its the perfect press for 30-06 rounds and smaller. I'll never get rid of mine. I been told the newer presses come with the new curved linkage pieces.

I love this press. It is very easy to use. The only thing I didn't like about it was the "ergonomics" made it difficult to insert or remove the brass from the sides due to the linkage pieces. Then...

I remember paying a buck for a box of .22 long rifles in the late 60’s. Adjusted for inflation they are less expensive today.
Good old days? They really weren’t that good IMO
