[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 2557952, member: 12282"] OK, the OP wants a the best press. But he gives no specifics. That Redding Ultramag press will have a tremendous long throw. If you ever decide to reload 200 .223, you would HATE it. I have two presses, and am contemplating a 3rd. One is the vaunted Forster C0-Ax, which for some processes is the absolute cats meow. But after a couple years, I bolted my old RCBS-2 onto a mobile base because certain things just went better with that one. I have a relatively cheap LEE cast unit that I got cheap too. Laying around. Seems to be really well made. Got it for friend who has cold feet now. Looking for a spot on my 8' of bench for another press! In short, I think there is no "right" press. Tell the group more what you are planning to do, and you will get better answers. Of course, many people buying a press are just starting and don't know what they plan to do.. At least tell us you cartridge palate currently....... Do you want to dabble into serious necking down? Big stuff like aforementioned? Or does volume and speed appeal (Co-Ax for a single stage gets nod here, for instance) Kind of aside, but my biggest enjoyment in terms of equipment upgrade has been better quality dies. Carbide expanders. Micrometer seaters. etc. Press is a press is a press. More or less...... [/QUOTE]
