    I have recently switched to 6.5 PRC (and also have a 7mm WBY). With the larger jaw on the Coax and the "spreader" screw set all the way in, I can barely insert the case head, and have to manually open the jaw further to remove the case. Not only is this a pain, I am worried it may cause misalignment. Is there a solution to this?
     
    1. Check that you are using the correct side of the jaws. The 'large' side of the 'standard' jaws should handle most regular magnums, at max spread.

    2. If that doesn't work, there is a second set of jaws available, ie 'LS'. Usually it's just for really teeny (Hornet) and really big (338LM) case heads.
