The priming system on the Co-Ax Press might look a little different at first glance, but don’t let that intimidate you! Designed with versatility and user-friendly features, it’s perfect for both seasoned reloaders and those just starting their reloading journey.

Built-in Fail-Safes for Precision and Ease

One standout feature is the built-in stop that ensures consistent primer seating depth. No matter how much force you apply to the handle, it will seat primers to the exact same depth every time—guaranteeing reliability and accuracy.

Another key advantage is the system’s use of adjustable jaws instead of standard shell holders. With three adjustable jaws, the system is incredibly universal, eliminating the need to search for specific shell holders. You’ll always have the right fit for your press, saving you time and effort.

Introducing the Co-Ax XL Priming System

For users of the Forster Co-Ax XL Press, we’ve developed the Co-Ax XL Priming System—an add-on that expands your capabilities by allowing you to seat both large primers and 50 BMG primers. This affordable upgrade is a game-changer, especially when compared to the high cost and limited availability of other priming options for these sizes.

If you’ve faced challenges setting up the system, the most common issue is not using the locator tool included in the “Important Parts Packet” that comes with your press. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Check out this video tutorial to see how to use it and get the most out of your Co-Ax Priming System.

Need More Speed? Try the Bench-Mounted Co-Ax Primer Seater

If you prefer off-press priming or want a faster method, consider the bench-mounted Co-Ax Primer Seater. It uses the same adjustable jaws as the press-mounted system but adds a convenient primer feed for efficiency. While it doesn’t include a built-in seating depth stop, it allows you to seat primers by feel, giving you more control over the process.
