    Awsome press, plenty of power, rock solid feel, I absolutly love this thing. They could do away with the priming stystem on the press as most people use a hand priming tool any way. The off set frame is a God send. I like this press much better then the Rockchucker I used to own, cheaper too!

    I use this press a lot and it has not failed me. I reload for benchrest competition with it. It is small enough to take to the range. But also strong enough to form wildcat cartridges as well. The only thing better might be the Ultra Mag press. But only if you'reloading really big cartridges.

    Overall a very good press. The fired primer "cup" has a lot to be desired. Very solid, great "feel". I like the offset of the frame. Easy access to the ram & primer arm.

    I've owned my "Boss" press for fifteen years, it was my first reloading press and I know it will out last me. I have reloaded over 10,000 rounds of pistol and rifle ammo with this press, it never has failed me once. The best feature of this press is the offset cast iron "O"-frame with the double CR steel linkage and cast iron ram knuckle. I have case-formed with this press and never had to worry about over-stressing the frame. The only down side to this press is the magnetic spent primer cup could be dispensed with and replaced with a low-profile cup that snaps onto the back of the frame. The best single stage press in the market !

    Like all the other Redding items I have purchased, this is an excellent piece of gear. I would have given this 5 stars if it wasn't for the spent primer receptacle. I can only describe that little magnetized item as a childish attempt. Not that I've ever had a spent primer "catcher" that I ever liked.

    Just passed 3000 rounds of .45 ACP and 1200 rounds .308. Excellent press, but I just snapped the arm at the point it goes through the frame pivot. Just sent an email, so we'll see how that goes. Other than that, the press is great.
