bump so I can find it
The only thing I don’t like is having to buy the die blocks to hold each die. I’ll probably get one because I like how it can be mounted with no over hang.
Seems thoughtful and well designed. While I don't like the proprietary shell blocks, 3 for $15.99 is not bad. While Forster uses a particular size die ring, you can use any die ring that size or smaller. Also the correct ones are cheap.
If I did not already have a CoAx or wanted another now (given CoAx availability problems), this would be a contender.
I give loading advice based on my actual results in factory rifles with standard chambers, twist rates and basic accurizing.
My goals for using cast boolits are lots of good, cheap, and reasonably accurate shooting, while avoiding overly tedious loading processes.
The BHN Deformation Formula, and why I don't use it.
How to find and fix sizing die eccentricity problems.
Do you trust your casting thermometer?
A few musings.
I got an e-mail while I was at work from midway saying co axe was back in stock . When I got home I tried to order and midway said out of stock over due

I like some of that presses features. Like the way it can be mounted. I dont see the die mounting blocks as a negative for that price. And as far as being not made in the USA. I dont think most of RCBS equipment is anymore. But RCBS has about the best warranty dept and customer service response around. If Frankford Arsenal is similar I wouldnt worry about it.
There is a lot to like about this press. I want to get one, but I already have 2 single stage presses and a Dillon RL 550B.
I am with you ,would love to have one but absolutely have no need for it.
I may still get one after I pay the tax man. I think it checks a lot of boxes for me.
has anyone actually seen one of these presses or tried one yet?
"No need" is not a valid excuse. You're among friends here, so saying "I want" is understood. I have several "just 'cause I wanted one" tools...

I dont "need" most of the stuff I have now. But I get bored quickly with stuff. Some stuff I just "have to try". Some of it Im not impressed after I try it. Some stuff I am. But wont know until I try it.
Reloading equipment is cheap when compared to some hobbies. And the tools usually last a lifetime.

This press looks to be everything the RCBS Summit press should have been. I’m gonna dump the Summit and get on the Frankford Arsenal’s.
Hey, don’t enable me more. I have a few presses “just because I wanted them”. They include an A series RCBS, Pacific Super Mag and Dillon 450. Outside of the Dillon the others don’t get used much. I guess they’re sort of an investment. “Just because” is why I have more lube sizers then lubes I use. Those purchases make no sense. I did have fun refurbishing them so I guess it wasn’t a total loss
I doubt you will be disappointed
I will be joining you
If you get one before I do, please let us know how you like it.
Pros:
Small footprint
No overhang
Floating dies (not really that big of a deal)
Good primer collection system.
Universal shell holder
LED light
Solid construction
Cons:
No priming system
Have to buy die blocks
I stopped when he said "you have to be careful not to crush the die blocks" - I load a lot of calibers and make brass for several. I don't want to have to be careful not to crush any part of my press.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
Will do
I prime off the press and do not mind the blocks
Will probable pick a couple calibers to load and see how it goes
