Who makes the highest leverage press?

[06]

Wondering that myself. My Lymans and Co-Ax load anything with relative ease.

RCBS Ammo Master

Biggest ram and longest throw. Built for 50 BMG. Not pretty but tough.

Seriously, I've seen people FL resize .30-06 operating the lever with their little finger on the Forster Co-ax. Proper lube does a lot more than extra leverage. You're just more likely to mess something up without feeling it with a super high leverage press.

If it don't fit, force it!
If it breaks, you needed a new one anyway.

I have 2 CO-Ax's, and have loaded more than 80,000 rounds on one of them.

There's NO WAY a Co-AX is a do all press, and there's no way it comes close to having the leverage that a Rockchucker has, let alone a Big Max ,that i also have.

When it comes to tough jobs, like fl sizeing big cases or case forming, the RC gets the vote every time. You won't be doing that on a C0-Ax useing two fingers, no matter what lube you use.

Some case forming can't even be done on a CO-Ax and that's why i don't consider it a "do all" press, ever though for "average" reloading chores, it's a GREAT press.

It's really about what you plan to use your press for in the future...

Redding Ultramag

Here's a pic of my bench. Note the Ultramag and the Lee Classic Turret and Classic Cast Single Stage presses. There is really no comparison. The Redding Ultramag has a LOT more leverage than the Lee Classic presses and presses of similar design. The Lee presses are really nice and I will not give them up but if you are comparing raw power the Redding wins hands down.

That is the cleanest reloading bench I have ever seen, and I congratulate you. Mine is a pig sty compared to that one. Shoot, mine might be a pig sty to many of them

To the op, wouldn't a can of resizing wax be a lot cheaper to buy than a new press?

How about a Hollywood Senior Turret press?

Good Question, Imperial Sizing Wax can make a huge difference.

Yes it can, i've been useing it since the 70's or so, but it doesn't make up for needed leverage whern you have a "tough" sizeing job!
