Press recommendations for .450/400 NE - 07/10/19
Like the title says, I'd like recommendations on a reloading press for the .450/400 3" NE.
Ran into a bit of a problem yesterday. I had gathered some empty brass, powder, bullets, and dies and went to the reloading bench where my RCBS Rockchucker is mounted. Great press; I've been using it for about 40 years now . But then I encountered an unanticipated problem -- the frame opening is too short for reloading. With a cartridge case in the shell holder, there literally isn't enough room to insert a bullet. So now I'm looking for a new press, something of sufficient size. A quick search online yields some possibilities including the Redding Ultramag and possibly one or more of the RCBS presses (Big Boss / Big Boss II). I'm sure there are others.
Looking for press recommendations from those of you who reload the big Nitro Express cartridges. What do you use?
