Redding ultra mag press

Any body have the ultra mag press from redding?

If so, do you like it in comparison to other presses, or if you had to buy over again, what press would you buy?

I have one. It is a well made press that is definitely worth it in my opinion. I bought mine after I got tired of tipping .416 Rigby and .460 Weatherby cartridges out of my RockChucker. It has noticeably much less slop in the linkage than the RockChucker and by feel takes less effort to resize large cases as such. Not to call out the RockChucker as a POS; which it is not. But the Ultramag is a cut above.

IMHO, it is "THE SINGLE STAGE PRESS."

I have both an UltraMag and a Rockchucker. I actually prefer the Rockchucker for general use on "regular" length brass, because the stroke length or swing of the handle is much less, and thus, it is a bit easier to use. This doesn't mean my UltraMag is for sale!
