Best press's

The Bonanza CO-AX is a great press.

Bob Hagel who wrote extensively on handloading used a CO-AX.

Like mine though it gets little use these days.

Since I haven't used any others for almost fifty(50) years, I've got to throw in a vote for the Herters line of presses. I have two single presses and one 6-hole turret, still in use. I do have a Little c-h that looks like a mini-Herters that is used for bullet seating and I just bought a cheap Lee to dedicate to an auto prime II. Oh--and a couple of mec jrs. for 12 and 20 Ga. Since I haven't worn these out yet, they must be the best. Steve

I taught myslef to reload on a small lyman single stage press...mainly .38/357 and .44mag.
I later progressed to a Lee Pro 1000....so to speak. For a first progressive press
I learned a lot....enough that I could really appreciate my Dillon 650.
I use the Dillon for plinking ammo....9mm,45acp, 38/357, 44mag...possibly soon 223 for my AR.
My serious loading is on the Rockchucker....223,243, 25.06, 308, and 30.06.

The lyman got sold years ago....it was a simple one useful for loading at the range.
The Lee is gathering dust in the garage. I need to see if I can find something useful
for it to do or I'm gonna sell it....to get another rockchucker or two.
