    Was checking the sales and clearance items on Midway USA and saw this:

    Redding Big Boss II On-Sale

    This is the one that has the spent primer collection system as used on the T-7 and Ultramag presses (spent primers drop through the hollow ram into a plastic tube which will hold hundreds of spent primers, or can be routed into a trash can).

    I've owned one of these, still have the T-7. The ram still has a slot in the top portion of it for priming, so it will not catch 100% of your primers.
    You could eliminate this with a wood shim jammed in it.

    If you ever forget to empty the tube, and spent primers are half way up the ram, you have issues! Compressed air is almost a must.

    The newer Rock Chuckers send the primer out the back, looks like a pretty slick system. And my RC has stayed tighter longer than any Redding press that I've owned.

    Get a lee classic cast press for about 80.00.It will do you right.Or buy any used rockchuker as it is the industry standard by which all others are judged IMHO.
