What to keep: RCBS Rockchucker or Forster Coax

[Preacher Jim]

Keep them both you will use them equally and miss either one. Buy one back is expensive what you have costs nothing like replacement would

[Lefty Red]

I would keep the Rock Chucker. New RC IVs are going for $150 on sale. The CoAx goes for twice that and always out of stock. You can get much more out if the CoAx if you sell or trade. Then get another RC and some jungle in your pocket. Win win!

Been using my rockchucker for over 40 years, wife bought me a Forster for Christmas 6 or 7 years ago and no WAY would I “chuck” either one. I’d keep both but that’s me….

I reloaded on a single stage for quite a few years, worked for me. I then switched to a turret. Disabled the auto index and worked a little better for me. Bought a Forster Co-Ax. For me and my reloading style the Co-Ax is by far the best press I've owned. I can do just about everything on it I did with my other presses.

I'D keep the Rockchucker since I'M more familiar with mine than the Forster Co-Ax (which I do not own). The Forster looks like a neat deal, though.
If someone owns and uses one extensively, I'd like to know more about it.

The Co-Ax was my first press almost 50 years ago. There are two things I do not like. It is easy to lose the springs for the shell holder...unless you have a few in stock...lol. I do not like priming on it. Your hand is over the case. But I prime off the press so not an issue for me.

I like the ‘almost universal’ shell holder, how the dies are held, and the 100% capture of spent primers when decapping.

If you need to do operations that require bulky gear on the top of the press (bullet sizing, pass through sizing, bullet pullin, etc), the RC is more suitable.

Let the kids decide after you are gone.

That's what I'm planning to do.

I never got rid of either but I use my co-ax a lot more than my RC.

Doesn’t really matter to anyone but you. What one do you like the most?

If you are never going to use the Co-ax, I suppose, by definition, it’s useless.

Both presses are worth more than the paper money you'll get for them. Keep them, neither take a lot of room. Someday, even if you don't use it, it's like hidden gold, along as you don't let it rust away, a wise investment if you ask me.
