Re: Which Redding Press
Those are 2 big presses for these cases, but both will work. I use the Big Boss for calibers longer than about 4" (408 CT, etc). I would look at the Redding T-7. I love mine. But a standard rock chucker, or other single stage will work fine.

Re: Which Redding Press
I have a Ultra mag and have used it with great success for .260rem, .308win, .30-06 and .338 lapua magnum with redding competition dies.

Re: Which Redding Press
The T-7 is a good press also. I'm using one for my High Power ammo in .223 and .308.
Are you resizing .30-06 to .308? There was poster that did that a few months ago.

Re: Which Redding Press
any issues with the ultra mag loading from the front as opposed to the others loading from the side? i guess just getting used to it is all . zediker calls the ultra mag the LC press for sizing Lack City once fired brass?

Re: Which Redding Press
The big presses with long arm travel do allow you to have more leverage. But a standard size press gives you enough with some good lube.

Re: Which Redding Press
Here's a good deal on a Boss

He upgraded to a Co-Ax which has alot more mechanical advantage and floating shell plate, quick change dies and the best spent primer retention system

Re: Which Redding Press
Especially for the cartridges mentioned by the OP, the Forster Co-Ax is the best designed, best built single stage reloading press available.

I know its not Redding (I use their dies), but I second the Forster Co-Ax, and I believe it will go up to .338 Lapua Mag. Its a beast of a press.

I agree. In the single stage arena, it's hard to beat the Co-Ax.
