I found it concerning from the attached add on post from jakewire regarding their customer service, I have found them to be excellent, When I bought my coax primer the included large primer assembly had a weak spring . a quick talk ( that they initiated via conference call ) had them sending a replacement.
I have bought stems and dies and bushings from them direct no problems too.
Word to the wise, the ultra micro stem and the bench rest stem arent interchangeable.
Some of their stuff is a bit proprietary but they are aware of their downsides and try to improve.... the coax seater is a bitch to recharge the primer tubes.... they now have a nice plastic device that makes recharging a breeze!

And as has been said Lee make some good stuff too.... I like the way they think outside the square ( just like Forster ) and end up with some proprietary gear.... the Lee multy stage presses and their collet die being to prime examples.

Just to throw a curve ball though.... T 7's are bloody nice for similar money, a mate got one and had a couple of thou skimmed of the turret head ..... took out all the play, very nice!

Good info.

I have a Hornady Lock and Lock 5 station progressive that I get great results from for the 260 and 308. Very consitant powder thrower and would use this for the new rifle if I wasn't going to try and shoot 2,500m
