The Redding Big Boss II Press is built with some of the same features as the original Boss press but built on a heavier frame with a larger ram and more usable ram stroke to make loading large magnum cartridges a breeze. Some of the new features include an innovative spent primer collection system which has a tube that redirects the primers away from the press and the "Smart" primer arm that automatically swings into position during the ram stroke and flips out of the way when not in use. Dies and shellholders sold separately.

Ten Commandments

Set up your reloading bench where it (and stored components) will not be exposed to heat, sparks or flame.
Establish a comfortable loading procedure and don't vary it.
Keep your reloading bench, equipment and area clean and uncluttered. Label components and reloads for safe, easy identification. Never use powder from an unlabelled tin.
Understand what you are doing and why it must be done in a specific way.
Follow loading recommendations exactly. Don't substitute components for those listed in metallic data without reducing the load and working back up.
Never substitute smokeless powder for black powder or Pyrodex because smokeless powder is much more powerful than black powder. Never mix two powders together.
Wear safety glasses.
Stay alert when reloading. Don't reload when distracted, disoriented or tired.
Don't smoke, drink alcohol or take drugs while reloading or while in your reloading area.
Keep everything out of reach of small children.
