Added a Forster Co-ax to the bench.

Go to Inlinefabricartions.com and get the roller handle for the Co Ax press.

So this handle is not made by Forster?

...like most measures, it does not like long grain powders

Best I've found for cutting long grains without sounding like a coffee-grinder is the old B&M. However, I don't like using the separate measuring tubes, which prevent dropping directly into the case, so next-best is my antique Ideal #1, which is a Cadillac compared to the common #5.

Sure is nice to have a little discussion going. To opine is as American as it gets.

Your photo shows the exact roller handle I use. I have 3 of them...different lengths. The one in your photo has proven itself to be the only one I truly need...after figuring out how to effectively full length size rifle brass w/o gorilla leverage. Only took me 60 years !....Its lanolin and you can make this lube up or buy it direct from Dillon. I use 50 50 blend of pure lanolin and rubbing alcohol. Make sizing effortless. Comes off easily in tumbler.

Pretty neat how it keeps the spent primers and associated yuck in a little bottle rather than all over the press, floor and operator.

That is not as amazing as the reloaders inability to fix something; I will never understand why they spend more time complaining than they do in research. I do not know of a reloader that owns a Rock Chucker that knows the Rock Chucker is not a cam over press. And now they want me to take them seriously when replacing the Rock Chucker.

If I was going to choose another press I would choose the 2 ram Herter or the 'U' type press and there is the Super 3s. When using the Herter presses I would not choose to take instructions from Internet instructors because they quit using the Herter press before they understood how it operated.

All I expect a reloader to be is fair and objective.

The USAMTU used this @ Benning to load their 300 Win Mag I was told some time ago.

OP is a year old.
However, you don't need to trim unless you need to trim. As in the cases are longer than the max case length. Set your calipres to the max case length and use it as a gauge first. It way faster than putting 'em in the trimmer.

I love my forster press, but the only thing I didn't like was not having the ability to measure seating force. Well, I think I found a solution. I attached a torque wrench to the armature. Torque is directly related seating force.

This is a quote from another forum, it seems the poster is trying to avoid saying neck tension and or bullet hold. He invented a new description called seating force.

And then there is his torque wrench all the way out on the end of his handle and that is not the end of it because there has to be some kind of leverage under the ram. Someone should go over to that forum and remind him everyone understands what he means when he says neck tension.

If he is going for foot pounds he needs he needs a lot of help. I have tension gages, all of my tension gages are marked off in pounds.

Since you found this information why don’t you go over and tell him. You do a pretty good job of telling everybody on this site...

Mr Cook, you speak the truth

Not my intention to drive you members to the curb or lock you up; I am told reloaders understands what the other is saying. I have strain gages and tension gages, that puts me at a disadvantage with reloaders that understand what the others are saying because my gages measure in pounds. It is not as simple as A times B = AB or is it?

I bought a ergo roller handle from inline fabrications for my Lee 4 hole turret press. Sure makes it easier to use and better for my arm.
