I have seen a co-ax at a BR match. Worked fine, though most use the arbor press. IMO, I like the free floating dies in my coax. That feature with a Redding Competition Seating Die and good brass loads some great ammo. ie: very low run out, if any. I have a Redding Boss and the Co-ax. I prefer the co-ax, though the Ultra-Mag might be nice !

For precision, it ain't the press, it is mostly the dies (and the skill of the user).
For coolness and ease of use with conventional dies, the CO-AX and T7 can help.

Co-Ax, then set up your 550 for bulk reloading rifle ammo too.
I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.

"Buddy had a co-ax, back in the last century (when they were Bonanza Co-ax). It was a great press. I kind of lust after a T-7 cause I really like Redding stuff and it's probably what I will replace the old Pacific single stage with if I can ever get it to wear out." from cra1948
Follow your dreams, 'cause the Pacific won't wear out!
The Redding T7 is great, built sturdy (read "heavy") and well. It is always set up and ready. The Bonanza Co-Ax is unusual and has some design features that are examples of engineering genius; it's also ready and waiting for work. And the Dillons and Hornadys are quite capable of producing quantities of very good ammunition that are the envy of shooters from the olden days. Having all the shell plates and powder measures gets to be an equipment race, just sayin'.
How big is your reloading room?
