The Forster Co-Ax XL is a precision reloading press engineered to accept both 1 1/4″ and 7/8″ dies, providing flexibility for a broader range of dies. It is constructed as a steel weldment and features a 13″ handle, ball bearings at the handle-frame connection, an integrated light, and the familiar Co-Ax floating jaw and quick die-change system. The press omits a priming system and retains a spent primer catch.

The Co-Ax XL combines the proven Co-Ax mechanisms—floating jaw, mechanical advantage and quick die changes—with enhancements for extended-range and heavier-duty reloading tasks. The steel weldment chassis and longer handle provide rigidity and leverage where needed, while the added bearings and integrated light improve everyday usability. Two adaptor lock rings are supplied to enable the dual-die-size capability.
