[QUOTE="simmonzz, post: 2244088, member: 118783"] Rather than create a new thread I’d kinda like to revive this for a minute and ask the same question the OP asked. I’m really looking at the BB2 and ultramag. Anyone with advice on either one now 5-6 years later? The bb2 has a 4.5” opening and the ultramag is 4.75”. I’m used to a rock chucker and it’s done fine but I just got a 300 Norma and having to lift the bullet into the seater die is getting annoying so I’m gonna get a new press that doesn’t require that. Is the ultramag worth the extra $120 or should I be just fine with the bb2? I don’t have a preference for o frame or open front, the open front does seem nicer. I’m basically looking at this from a “starting fresh” outlook because I’m not gonna be keeping the rock chucker since it’s not mine, it’s my grandpas that he’s loaned me and doesn’t want to sell to me because you “never know if you need it” lol the guy hasn’t reloaded in 15 years but it’s his so I won’t push.
