Re: Best single stage press

I had the same doubt when decided to reload 375H&H and 416 RM ... did my own search and finally I decided for the new Rock Chucker Supreme

Never regreted my choice

What single stage press has the most leverage... requires the least amount of effort to resize large magnum cases. Will the Redding Ultramag, RCBS Ammomaster, or Hornady 50BMG press work any better then a Rock Chucker?

Large magnum cases are easy to FL size or even size for case forming. A smooth die and decent lube is what you want.

I use an RCBS A2.

I think you might want to look at C+H's 50 caliber press for the best leverage! It uses a rack and pinon stystem and operates with every little effort.Here is the link to them.also they are a great bunch of people to do buisness with in MHO.I can drive there in 45 minutes and like the service they have always have given me!

......Untill the size gets to the 50bmg size I haven't had any problems with the Rockchucker.....but the Redding Ultramag does have slightly better leverage and ramtravel length....I haven't used/seen the new Rock chucker supreme but according to articles it is mainly the same press with larger cartridge length and ram travel for the extra long cartridges......I would look hard at the Ultramag if the 50bmg isn't in your loading plans.....hth good luck and good shooting and loading!!

By far the best leverage is the Forster Coax.
