Frequently Asked Questions
Are these jaws compatible with my Forster Co-Ax Press?
Yes. The S Shell Holder Jaws are the standard replacement jaws for the Forster Co-Ax Press. They're a direct fit if your press came with a Co-Ax shellholder assembly.
How often do I need to replace the jaws?
That depends on volume and how you maintain them. High-volume loaders may need to refresh jaws every few years; casual reloaders much less often. Visually inspect them periodically—if they no longer grip cases firmly or show visible damage, it's time to swap.
Do I need any tools to install these?
Installation is simple and requires no special tools. The jaws snap in and out of the Co-Ax shellholder assembly as part of normal operation.
