Co-Ax ® PressRELOADINGOur one-of-a-kind press is the most powerful andaccurate press on the market.If you want famous <strong>Forster</strong> <strong>Products</strong> precision, the Co-Ax ® Press delivers. It keeps the process simple and includesseveral unique features, such as snap-in, snap-out die changing that takes all of two seconds! A self-containedspent-primer catcher system helps keep all working parts free of dirt and abrasives, and dual floating guide rodshelp ensure perfect alignment."I received my press today, and I can honestly say I made the right decision to wait for itsdelivery. What a fine piece of equipment it is. It will look great on my reloading table."~Elizabethtown, KY18 forsterproducts.com


Co-Ax ® PressRELOADINGFeaturesThe Shell Holder Jaws are designedto float with the die, which allows the case to center precisely in the die. The top ofthe stroke comes to a rock-solid stop for consistency of headspace and bulletseating dimensions.With three times the mechanical advantage of anordinary “C” press, the Co-Ax Press is so effortless that full-length sizing can actuallybe accomplished by operating the handle with just one finger.Requires no heavy mounting, which means that it could even be used onassembly to a truck gate or to a portable bench.Cross Bolt Die Lock Rings (see page 31).You can actually change from a sizing die to a seater die in twoseconds. This “slide-in-slide-out” die changing also maintains the integrity of yourdie’s setting.There is absolutely no torque on the die holding portion of the Co-Ax Pressdue to the unique linkage and pivots design. All forces are in equilibrium whether thepress is at maximum work load or at rest.The seater isstraight, level and at a uniform distance below the case head. Primers cannot becrushed, nor will they protrude from the case head and cause premature firing.Rugged, automotive-grade, ductile iron has less porosity than othertypes of castings. Baked on powder coat finish prevents corrosion and is easy to clean. A self-contained spent primer catcher system passes all primers,ground glass and dirty carbon through a tube and into a cup, keeping all working parts,as well as the floor, free of dirt and abrasives. The drop tube, which is threaded intothe guide block below the shell holder, directs all residue into the cup below the press.The tube and cup follow the guide block during the sizing and seating process. Simplyunscrew the cup to empty it. There are no frame supports or swinging primer arms tointerfere or cause an obstruction. It works the same for either right-handed or lefthandedoperators. “S” (Standard) Shell Holder Jaws hold 90% of commercialremaining 10%.

Co-Ax ® Press Priming SystemRELOADINGA Primer on Primer SeatingINCORRECT: This primer cup doesn’t rest solidly on the bottom of the primer.Some primer cups are .120" high, and, if seated with the crown more than .006" below the case head,the anvil would be forced through the crown, rendering the primer useless.greater than .006”INCORRECT: This primer cup is seated too high.A high primer is erratic in performance. It is also dangerous and could explode in the chamber of a riflewhen the breech block closes on it before it is locked.CORRECT: This primer cup is seated exactly as it would be with our Co-Ax Press.Anvil ContactThe crown is .004" to .006" below the surface of the case head, the anvils are on the bottom of theprimer well and the primer mix is properly stressed by the anvil for sensitivity. It is also safer thaneither of the two seated primers shown above..004” to .006”Our Unique Co-Ax ® Press Priming System Helps Guarantee Consistent PerformanceProper priming is one of the most critical operations in thereloading process. In order for your ammunition to performefficiently, consistent ignition is absolutely mandatory. For thatreason, we paid special attention to the priming function in thedesign of our Co-Ax Press.This primer seater design is engineered with such precision thatno excessive tolerance or “slop” is required in any of the matingparts. It moves freely in its channel with only .001" radial clearance,other presses. As illustrated in the enlarged views of our primerpost in Figs. 2 and 3, this extremely tight tolerance deliversremarkably consistent seating depth, time after time.Regardless of the variation in the dimension of the case rim orthe amount of force used in seating the primer, with the <strong>Forster</strong><strong>Products</strong> Co-Ax Press, it is impossible to crush a primer pellet orvary the seating depth.AFig. 2 Fig. 3BPrimerPostFig. 2 shows Dimension “A” greater than dimension “B” by .004" to .006".Fig. 3 shows that when force is applied to the guide block of the press,the bottom of the primer cup stops against the base of the primer post.The top of the primer cup stops against the case head. Because theprimer post is longer than the cup by .004" to .006", the primer will alwaysbe seated .004" to .006" below the case head.22 forsterproducts.com

Afterdiamond honing, we use a super cooling Cryo treatment to finishour bushings, which are comparable to or even superior in,smoothness to coated bushings.Cryo treating produces filler particles that refine and close thegrain structure of steel. This denser metal structure createsa greater surface area, reducing both friction and wear. Theyare cryogenically treated in an aircraft-quality lab. The steel issubjected to a precisely controlled slow cooling process whicheventually reaches an extremely cold threshold. The bushingsare then slowly warmed and cycled through a controlled heatingprocess. The result is increased wear resistance, improveddimensional stability and prolonged life.Partial Neck SizingYou can adjust the bushing to allowpartial case neck sizing, allowing theunsized section to better align thecartridge in the rifle chamber.Bump the Shoulderwithout Changing the CaseNeck DiameterBy removing the neck bushing, youcan use the Bushing Bump NeckSizing Die to bump just the caseshoulder without changing the neckdiameter.

Headspace GagesGUNSMITHINGHeadspace GagesThe proper use of a Headspace Gage is the most reliableway to test rifle chamber length.Featuresgages.Three lengths of Headspace Gages for most rifle calibersoffered (GO, NO-GO, FIELD).Manufactured from top-quality, hardened steel and precisionground to ANSI and SAAMI tolerances.Headspace tolerance ground to a very exacting ±.00015".Each Headspace Gage thoroughly inspected with NIST-certifiedmeasurement tools.Ordering InformationHeadspace Gages are available to fit a wide variety of riflechambers. Ordering information is on page 40-41.Rimmed/BeltedRimlessSafety and performance are on the line. Improper headspacemay be dangerous to the shooter as well as an impairment toaccuracy.Excessive headspace may lead to gas leakage around the caseor head separation and the sudden release of high pressuregas. Insufficient or excessively tight headspace may causemalfunctions such as failure to lock. It often makes extractiondifficult and may cause dangerous stresses on the mechanismwhich, in turn, may shorten component life expectancy or lead tofailure.30-30 Win. 300 Win. 22 Rimfire 30 Carbine 30-06,Belted Mag.25-06,270Headspace Gage SetsAvailable for the 223, 308 and 30-06 calibers.Features Each set includes 11 Headspace Gages.

Some shooters are under themisconception that headspace is fixed over the life of the firearm.Headspace can increase after repeated use of ammunition thatcauses too much pressure. Handloaders should routinely checkrifle chamber headspace every thousand rounds.Headspace is measured differently depending on whether thefirearm’s caliber uses rimmed, belted or rimless cartridges.Rimmed and Belted CartridgesHeadspace = distance between the bolt face and the top of therim (chamber face) when the bolt is closed.Rimless CartridgeHeadspace = distance between the bolt face and a datum line(determined by SAAMI) where the front of the cartridge rests onits shoulder when the bolt is closed.<strong>Forster</strong> <strong>Products</strong> offers three lengths of headspace gages per riflecaliber. In order from the shortest to longest, they are:GO, NO-GO and FIELD:1. GO: Corresponds to the minimum chamber dimensions. If arifle closes on a GO gage, the chamber will accept ammunitionthat is made to SAAMI’s maximum specifications. The GO gageis essential for checking a newly-reamed chamber in orderto ensure a tight, accurate and safe chamber that will acceptSAAMI maximum ammo. Although the GO gage is necessaryfor a gunsmith or armorer, it usually has fewer applications forthe collector or surplus firearms purchaser.2. NO-GO: Corresponds to the maximum headspace werecommend for gunsmiths chambering new, bolt action rifles.This is NOT a SAAMI-maximum measurement. If a rifle closeson a NO-GO gage, it may still be within SAAMI specificationsor it may have excessive headspace. To determine if there isexcessive headspace, the chamber should then be checkedwith a FIELD gage. The NO-GO gage is a valuable tool forchecking a newly-reamed chamber in order to ensure a tightand accurate chamber.3. FIELD: Corresponds to the longest safe headspace. If a riflecloses on a FIELD gage, its chamber is dangerously close to,or longer than, SAAMI’s specified maximum chamber size. Ifchamber headspace is excessive, the gun should be takenout of service until it has been inspected and repaired by acompetent gunsmith. FIELD gages are slightly shorter than theSAAMI maximum in order to give a small safety margin.forsterproducts.com 39
