Just got the Mid South email flier.
Frankford Arsenal has come out with a new press.
It looks like a Foster Coax, with some small changes.

Yes, I saw that as well in my inbox yesterday.
Looks nice but I am not in the market right now.

Been discussed a few times on this forum already. You have guys that want to buy one. And you have guys that don’t want to because of the die blocks you have to buy.
The reloading community is really hurting for new single-stage presses....LOL
But then again, maximum choices is part of what makes America so great!
Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.
What is it made of? Cast aluminum? or iron? I cannot be certain from looking at the pictures. If aluminum I would have serious doubts concerning the strength of the two "C" arms. Redding tried this design 60 years ago using iron "C" arms with a more pronounced curve that quickly broke.
Pressman, that is the comment I sent in to the comments section on their site. What is it made of? james
The second notation from the top in the right hand photo says “Heavy duty cast iron construction”.
I wonder if it's made in china????
Yes..........
Why not buy a rock Chucker supreme...its now selling for $139 at Natchez...hurry up before it runs out of stock...haha!!
looks like they are simply copying the Forster Co-ax, with some revisions. I have a Forster press, and like it a lot, but would not consider the Frankford. First because it is a knock off, and secondly, I would hate to pony up an extra $20 to buy three of their "special blocks". Like many of you, I load for a bunch of calibers, and would want blocks for each die set....

I'm embarrassed to say I have a co-ax press that I've never used.
got it used, but it's all complete and in good condition.
Never had to.
Made in china........YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well, you don't have to feed it, and it isn't loosing value....so,maybe a good investment.Originally Posted by abunaitoo

I have use an RCBS Rock Chucker for 20 years. Nothing wrong with it and it has served me well, I love it. I did recently purchase a new Lyman All American 8 Turret press.
So far I am very happy with it. I bought three extra turret heads. I like having all of my dies preset. I really like having the option now to keep neck expanding dies set for all of my different 30 cal stuff. 30-30, 308, 30-06, 300blk....
As far as the Frankford press, I would just hold out for a Forester instead.
