I have been admiring the Coax from afar for some time but just acquired one and had my first session with it.
My reloading history goes back to 1975 and a RCBS Jr.
For 35 years that's all there was for a press. Then I bought a Lee Classic turret, good press.
A bit later I added a Redding Boss. That's been my main line single stage until the Coax came along.
As far as the Coax goes with my frame of reference, I like it!
But it's not magical. The claims about some super leverage ..... no. My Redding is easier in a significant full length resize on a 270 Win case (yes, I am lubing with good stuff). The difference is not bad but I can tell.
The shell holder: I think it's great but the first time a spring goes to outer space while I am swapping jaws, I am going to say some bad words.
Swapping dies: This is a big one for me! I like being able to click them in and out. The Coax press came with two of their rings and barring using Hornady rings, I will likely buy a bunch of the Forester rings. Getting the die adjusted the first time is a little fiddly but once it's right and "tight", it's peachy!
I load mostly sitting down and part of the leverage issue relates to whether a press is at the right height and for sitting my Coax is likely too high right now. I will be working on that.
I have not seated any bullets yet so I will be testing run out next.
