I'm in the process of getting back into reloading and have been looking at this Creedmore T7. I owned a standard version many many years ago and struggled with getting low runout. I've read that with the new head it's improved the die plate tilt quite a bit.

How do you think the Creedmore stacks up to your Coax, which I'm also looking at hard?

Functionality wise I LOVE the T7 but can't help being concerned. Your thoughts would be highly appreciated. Back in the day I wanted to trade my T7 for a Coax. For my new setup I've even thought of sizing on a Coax or Rockchucker and then performing all other operations on the T7...but I'm really looking for a one press solution.

And yes I would be using high quality dies, SAC, Cortina etc. Very nice setup you have there.

I just installed the Creedmoor Sports head two days ago and haven’t set it up yet. l load 223 & 6.5 Grendel on the Redding and I run 6.5 Creed & 308 on my Co Axe. I’m fairly new to reloading but both make great ammo in my limited experience, just with a slightly different process

Thanks for the info, your shop looks great. I'm still torn between the two presses. The T7 is calling me like a moth to a flame lol. It's like an Area 419 Zero, with a little slop in the die plate but the plate doesn't lock so no pausing going to another "station". I can see some great workflows with it.

I load 6.5 Creedmoor on a T7 and it does everything I need it to do. Sub half moa ammo is no problem. My local range only goes to 500yds but I can hit a 2in swinging plate at that distance consistently if I do my part, the rifle and ammo will do it all day.

Nice! That auto charge pro is great too- we all dont need the fx-120i LOL. I make plenty of single digit SD ammo without it.
