I'm into new things, so I've never even heard of the press brand or the calibres he's looking for. Anyone with pointers? He said he didn't find much of anything online. I'm pretty clueless with reloading anyways so I don't know promising places to search.

A Forster Co-Ax reloading press and full length dies for 9.3x62mm and 358 Winchester

Forster is the Cadillac of single stage presses.

As for the calibers, those are niche-ish.

Yeah, unusual, but not unheard of.

I think Scheels carries the Press, but you will have to find the dies online, I have not seen those calibers in any store that stock dies

Midway has both calibers in RCBS die sets in stock

358 Winchester was chambered in lever guns for a couple of decades. I ended up with the 375 Winchester. And I agree Forster CO-AX = Cadillac

mewe.com join, then get in to the reloading forums. There's always stuff FS, or WTB. Even saw some dies and a press that you were looking for.

Maybe it's just me, but I find MEWE to be a very confusing and frustrating site. I'm getting better with it, but it's a difficult place to navigate.

It is, until you find out once logged in. It defaults to the chats and not actual forums. Click on the Groups and you avoid all that chat/ confusing crap.

I forgot MeWe existed. Just logged in and applied to the 3 Colorado loading forums I could find. Maybe I will be able to find the bullets I need!

I would love to have a Forster Co-Ax press. Those things are money though...I keep hoping I'll find one for $50 at an estate sale some day.

Forester Coax are pricey and almost always out of stock. When they become available, they sell out fast. PMS/NRL dorks love them. They make good ammo, but an RCBS Rockchucker will do everything a Coax will for 1/2 the price. Good brass and good dies is more important in making good ammo.

I love my Coax. I also got 'lucky' of a sort. They called me up to tell me there were two chips in the powder coating that they touched up with flat paint. Asked me if I would take it, or wanted to wait. I said it didn't bug me at all. They gave me a substantial discount, unprompted.

Anyways, a great press. Just wanted the opportunity to gloat.

I still load on my ancient Spartan single stage I bought, broken, at a gun show 20 years ago. It seems to make accurate ammo, so I guess I can't complain.

Outside the CO forums, there's the Everything reloading forums. One for presses and dies, the other for components.
