Yep, I own that many single stage presses but own even more progressives, so I don't have to use them as much. :)
The OP's setup reminds me why turret presses exist.

I use these to control the valves on my air compressor, from the different buildings.

I use late '90's" early 2000 GM solenoids they used for doors, hatches and trunks. They are powerful and are spring return.

I just checked the torque on my Lee universal decapping die with a witness mark and applying force until it tightened further ~20ft/lb is where it moved. It will decap crimped pockets without...

The Lee decapping system is pretty good, if you set it right.
Its a 1/8" NPT collet that holds the pin, when set right, its good enough to poke a primer out but an obstruction will just slide the...

Some electronic triggers are just mechanical designs that are tied to electronics. So you still have an impact on thee primer.

A file and an unimportant edge will tell you instantly. If its not hard, the file cuts away some metal, if it is hard, it might scratch the finish but won't cut into it.

If the diameter is ~ .555" it will fit into a new powder die. That die will be threaded so you can adjust the measure up/down for a complete stroke of the measure but not cause a hard stop, as you...

I use mine more than my other single stage presses but I still do use others for certain calibers, just so I don't have to convert the co-ax for an odd ball rim size and back for everything else I...

FWIW Co-ax owners don't use normal shell holders, it's a whole different animal but you can use various brands of dies in them.

I have found corn cob can get into the shell plate and keep the case from fully seating too.
There are also changes to be made with the case feed itself. Take a look at pages 37-39 of your manual,...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
If you use the "crank die down to contact" (even if you do some fraction of a turn +/- after that), you are using the shell holder as a reference. If there is not an industry standard and tolerance,...

MA Systems used to have one that went with their collators. It is pneumatic and the fingers are not plastic and adjustable for tension, it works. See attached photo.

The Lee one with the plastic fingers allows you to feed and seat at the same station, at least for a few rounds before it starts spitting bullets everywhere and you have to boil the fingers (per...

Dillon has set the bar so high, many mfg's are much better than in other areas. Lee, RCBS and Hornady are not too bad, by Dillon's example. Although the others have had history of obsoleting more...

The dies, components and methods used all have more influence on accuracy than what press one uses.
I do like the co-ax but have a number of other presses from other mfg's.

This is why roll sizers and push through sizers exist. If you have something holding onto the rim, to pull the case out of the die and a radius on the mouth of the die, to allow the case to enter...
