Finally! An $800 single stage press that does everything thing my $200 Rockchucker does but at 4X the price. I've been waiting years for this......
Right lmao. Id rather get a forster co ax
But it's the best in the world! Ignore the fact he got it for free from a sponsor
😂😂😂😂
I have the rock chucker (supreme) as my first and only press thus far, and while it seems to work well, there's something to be appreciated when it comes to precision machining, that this press clearly has. It seems to be a few steps above the rock chucker, in more ways than one. This appears to be a precision made, well though out, piece of equipment, made in the US it seems, and I don't think that price sounds unreasonable. If I ever decided to upgrade, I think I know what I would get, if I could afford it. That said, I love the rock chucker! It seems to do everything I could ever want. It's just a simpler piece of equipment, made to lower specs, it seems to me. It's obvious you are paying more for the Nexus, because you are getting more, and it required much more time and tooling to produce. They might both produce an equally performing cartridge, but the Nexus looks much more ergonomic and practical, and yes, even more precise. When these guys get around to testing the products of this press, we will find out if that money is well spent, and in which ways it is better, or worse.
Crazy to get all the mods from the douche club all in one comment post 😂
SAC makes top quality stuff but I think I’ll spend the extra coin for the Zero. Thanks for sharing Gavin for everyone to complain about what you do… 🤦🏻♂️ 🤣
The Zero actually had less run out when he tested it so does amazing for a turret press.
I have both the zero and the NEXUS. I have used Zero for 2 years and loaded 1,000s of rounds. The devil is in the details, I now exclusively resize brass on NEXUS and seat bullets on Zero due to speed. It's has been significantly easier to keep consistent shoulder bump on NEXUS. I run AMP annealer and soon will be using AMP press for seating. Both will do excellent job but I may sell my Zero or use it for my hunting rifles.
I’ll stick with my MEC. As someone recently said, you can engineer a $100 mouse trap but the $1 one will still the mouse.
It's pretty and so is the Zero but I don't see much advantage over any single stage press. Being able to bump shoulders beyond cam over can be accomplished with Redding Comp. shell holders. I do like the ability to secure lock rings eternally.
Love it, looks like the gate shifter for a 1970 camaro
Would like to see an accuracy comparison.
Size and load 20 rounds on RCBS Rockchucker and size/load 20 on Nexus.
Then shoot some 5 rd groups.
That will tell us if it's worth the cost
Go reload 20 rds on your RockChucker and check your concentricity. Take your die out and back in and check your concentricity. You’ll begin to see the point.
But you do have to ask yourself if a couple thousands of precision is worth several hundred dollars extra for a high end press. For most people it’s probably not. Most people don’t drive Bentleys either……..
My Rockchucker is almost 50yrs old and still works like it did when new. If it 'aint broke don't fix it.
Definitely a quality looking press with some nice features. Just out of my price range.
The 57 Chevy was a great American Classic Car but anyone who thinks that it is as Safe, Comfortable, Fast and efficient as Modern Production cars simply doesn’t know what they are talking about! The Rockchucker is a classic press. Today’s Chinese forged Rockchuckers can certainly load good ammo. Anybody that thinks they are as smooth, accurate and precise as a Nexus or Area 419 Press simply doesn’t know what they are talking about! As in optics to get a little better you have to pay a LOT more. If you can’t afford an $800 press no worries, keep enjoying your RockChucker just don’t make yourself look stupid by saying a Camaro is just as good as a Bugatti……..
I will have a tough time giving up my Zero press! But it is cool that here in Ohio we produce the two best single stage presses.
Why did you put an apostrophe in "presses"? Is Ohio education really that bad?
@@lytening79 Autocorrect. 🤣 you bellend.
@@lytening79 I typed that very quickly. Quit crying.
@@airenthusiast1071 A likely excuse. Be better.
@@OFFICIALUND sorry Dad I will be.
It would be interesting to see a direct comparison between this Nexus and the Präzipress. Maybe with the same test procedures as you did at the big "14 Reloading Press Shootout" 5 years ago?
I just set mine up today. And rhis press is smoother rhan the Forster coaxial. More open space to move the brass.
Pretty cool but in a day when f class shooters are loading on dillon 650s…
Processing not loading. Lol
@@jaymiller393 Yes, processing. That includes everything but seating the bullet. All those operations influence accuracy just as much as seating the bullet. A 650/750 with a powder thru die (fed from an AutoTrickler or the like) is very capable of creating ammo that will shoot sub half inch.
Oh ok I’m still on my Lee Classic single stage. Wanting to step up but not sure which direction I should go. I’m only reloading 30-06,6.5,6.5 prc
@@YellowCab524 I have a nice single stage but I use my Dillon 550 mostly. If I use it to size rifle rounds I only size. Once they’re all sized then I do the rest of the operations progressively.
He built that table hes calls the ultimate reloaders bench.
Ive built a table top with the same t tracks concept.
Nice, I've been thinking about building one also!
So in some countries , the price is NOT double that of the Co-Ax press , its only 50% more expensive , so given that it closes the gap more , if that makes sense , so when I had to chose between them , I went with the Nexus , and on 1st impressions , yeah its very well made and very compact form factor , so yes quite impressed .
Looks awesome but I'll be sticking with my co-ax. SAC makes awesome stuff though
Nice👍🏻Greetings from Germany
I love my Zero and AMP Press, but I'll be first in line for the XL SAC Press when they make it. Hopefully it'll be large enough to load 20mm
I've just been using an electrically powered hydraulic press for resizing 20mm and larger cases. Push 'em in, push 'em out.
Not seeing a reason to consider replacing my PRÄZIPRESS
Don’t think anyone is trying to convince you of that 🤷🏻♂️
@@American.Divergent Not sure where you determined that inference? The question that came to mind for me is: What does this new offering do that an existing press doesn't?
@@albertthesecond210 It's not what it does, it's how it does it.
Into my 50th year and over 40 different calibers reloading and I'm still using my very old RCBS rock chucker. I've found it's the dies, not the press, the really make the difference. Where possible I now use Wilson full length bushing dies, followed by Redding full length bushing dies (if Wilson doesn't make the one I need), with Redding bullet seaters, Wilson case gauges, etc. I can almost do everything blindfolded anymore. It's all about the touch. I like the look of the SAC nexus, and to be honest, the big window for inserting and removing brass from the shell holder is attractive. Still noodling over the cam-over bushing stuff. Was it cam-over w/o cam-over? A little confused. The thing I really like was the desk and the mounting system. Where did the desk with the built in slide channels come from? Very nice setup.
Cool stuff! Thanks for showing! If I ever need something tricked out I know where to go.
It’s really too bad this stuff is getting so expensive. I have a coax that I bought along with everything else in 2015 but only used it for a few rounds. I’ll keep the press but there’s a lot of new gear out there that I’d like but costs a fortune. I’m just kinda getting back into it and it’s been an eye-opening experience
I think theres one or two somewhere on the back benches. I'll need three when the research tunnels are done.
been watching you for while and ive never commented before. Ive reloaded for years and i replaced my tmag with a area 419 after watching one of your videos. I shoot with my son to 1000yrds. On both presses. But the 419 is definitely "easier " to use. But the same results. With that being said id be interested in seeing a series or video of "real world reloading " cause damn it gets expensive. (Not like it use to be) with a buget press and a premiere press. For me ive seen little change
I get + or - .0005 on my Forster co ax with Forster fl dies. Heat treating is important.
Great video I love the interchangeability I just don't like the price. How about featuring an older press they still make like the CH presses, you know they make adapters for everything along with presses. Also there is an in-line press they don't make any more the B&M press.
I’m looking at a RCBS summit with a mod they sell on eBay. Think it’s on par worth these $800+ set ups
I have a Lyman victory and it works great for me, my first Bench rest match I shot a 250 18x, the newer design single stage presses are over priced. They look nice but bottom line it’s a press that has less to do with precision more to do with the reloader over the Press. If you load a lot of calibers and want to save time swapping dies.
So you are not contacting base of sizer die to shell holder at all? Is that the whole difference?
Dont get me wrong, this press looks amazing!! I'd love to own one, but I can't see enough benefit over my 25 year old rockchucker to spend 700 bucks on one. If I was new to precision shooting and didn't have a press, maybe I'd consider one, but there are many great presses for under 400 bucks that will get the job done and last a lifetime
Sounds like Track Tribe. THE best royalty free rock music anywhere. Come get with us is a great one to check out.
I love the “better mouse trap”. I’m sure it works well and looks cool. I just wish I was 40 years younger so when all you guys think that a better press will get you higher scores and have the revelation that that doesn’t work I could buy your used press for 1/3 the cost.
As nice as it is, and I have zero doubts about the quality and fit and finish, it is kinda expensive, shell holders and die lock ring will definitely add up in a hurry on top of the press price. It could have been done just as well, without some of the bling, and worked out a lot cheaper than it is.
Yes, but obviously they weren't going for cheaper, it appears they were going for most practical and most precise, IMO. We will see if it's actually worth the precision ($) when they do a test on the cartridges produced by this thing. I hope it performs as well as she looks, that thing is a beauty.
If features didn't matter as much as consistency of brass after sizing, how would it compare to a prazi press?
They made a forster coax that requires shell holders.
Wasn’t that a ton of shoulder bump for just screwing the die down to the shell holder?
Mine will be here July. Ready to test it out. All I use are SAC dies so why not have the press
You're going to love it!
I've looked everywhere I'm unable to find one in stock
They’ve sold every one they’ve made.
I am interested in the press. Where can I buy it - in Germany or Europe?
Hi, I have this press - got it approx 3 weeks ago, but I have not used it yet, just installed it to the bench. Right now I am doing some other reloading with dies which are not fitting into the Nexus press.
What I would like to understand in a better way are the 2 different size of "stoppers" for cam over and non cam over. When you showed the sizing with the cam over stoppers (the shorter ones) the result was approx -0,0075" of shoulder bump. What would have been the result with the non cam over stoppers - the longer stoppers? In both cases when the die is touching the shell holder? And would the result for the non cam over stoppers also be consistent? (it should be from what I understood from the SAC presentation)
The next question is how to handle 2 different rifles, same caliber but a different reamer and therefore a different chamber for the optimal shoulder set back??? How to adjust the die in the press in a way that you can reproduce the result between different work sessions for the 2 different rifles and different should bump requitrements?? My problem is that there is no need that the die is always touching the shellholder, because the stopper is the reference for the final end position of the press (SAC presentation: Less shoulder bump: screw it out; More shoulder bump: Screw it in), but than your die is "hanging in the air" you have no reference point - it is optimized for 1 specific chamber/rifle. My conclusion would be that for the best consistent result for 2 rifles, same caliber but different shoulder bump I should use 2 dies??? Or working with shims to "measure" the position of the die??
I have a number of SAC items and and like very much their "out of the box" thinking to bring new ideas to the reloading procedure. The Nexus press is another great and solid piece of equipment.
Why won't your other dies fit in this press, does the Nexus use a proprietary thread / system to connect the dies? I presume (I'm pretty new to reloading) that one has to readjust the dies for every loading session, if you want to change between loading for different firearms, as you describe. Or else just load to the standard COL, or less than.
@@BRENDANTHERED The Nexus press is accepting 7/8" dies and 1" dies (which is a new form factor for me). The dies I am using at the moment are 1 1/4" diameter size (Warner Tool for example) Those dies are not fitting into the Nexus press.
He made it. It’s a piece of butcher block with a couple of T tracks
Can't get it. Eternal backorder. Just like Berger bullets, dont matter how good they are, if you cant get them.
Hate the black background! So hard to see
The light on the back left didn't look right. His whole left was dark.🤷♂️
I like to be able to hold onto the bullet and case while lifting up to the die. Whit the design of this press you can’t do that. I’ll stick with the mec and the rock chucker.
Nexus vs. Prazzi vs. A-419????
It looks nice, but not $800 worth of nice. Retired fixed income sucks for reloading equipment purchases. What about showing what the good budget presses out there are?
He already did years ago.
@@StuninRub I was hoping there might be new stuff out there.
@@IWatchedWhat Lee and Frankford Arsenal already perfected that.
imPRESSive 😅 I crack myself up
Anyone know what table that is?
not a good idea to show a black press with a black back ground
You lost me at "parallelism." 😅
I'll keep my Forester CoAx, thanks but no thanks. WAY too expensive.
Thanks for letting us know.
Probably sell a million of them at 400-500. 800 is just to much
They’ve sold out of them at $800 and they are selling so fast they won’t take backorders.
@@djpaintles100% truth
total pass for me
🤩👍‼️
👍
"Boujee"
Yea, not seeing the value here. Way over priced.
Maybe you are going blind? You don't see the ammount of machining that went into this equipment? I'd guesstimate there is 10 times the machining in this press and associated tools. That might be an exaggeration but I doubt it's that far off. Most other presses are mass produced and it's easy to see it, plenty of rough spots. This press looks hand made (or better) with precision, and that takes time and special tools. Maybe they could perform equally as well, but that is doubtful, as I can see a few advantages that this press has over most others, and that is just at a glance.
@BRENDANTHERED Great, then you can buy it, however, I won't.
@@AllFouRoux I likely wont either, just pointing out why the difference in price. We'll see when they test the cartridges made in this press, just how well this performs, compared to the cheap (er) presses.
@neilpowell - So perfectly proclaimed. I laughed for 5 minutes. We’ll put my friend, we’ll put!
I’m glad we don’t see any of this overpriced gear on our shelves in Australia.
