Has anyone ever used Redding Reloading presses???
I just bought one because of the price and that it came with the Die threads were 7/8th and also 1 1/4 so I can use my Martini Enfield die on it!!
Well once we got the box out to the Gun room, Me and Son in Law opened it up and were surprised to find that this press is a beast!!!
It makes my Lee press look so tiny and weak!!!!  LOL!!
I got the Redding Big Boss single stage press... Now to mount this thing !!! LOL!!

$166 and some change .... But they put their monies worth into it ....that thing is a BEAST!!!!!!  I dont think you will have any problem with other than the base you mount this one to ....
What ever this Redding gets mounted to should be Beefy !!

Most reloading presses have the standard thread size of 7/8-14 (not 1 1/4) so your dies will fit 99% of the available presses. Good price on your press, by the way.

This one has the 1 1/4" bushing that will accept 7/8 - 14 size dies.....

My first press was a LEE, single stage. I came across at Redding press, and picked it up at a gun show. Again it's a single stage, but your right about its construction its has a much heavier casting than the LEE. All my dies work well in either, but I tend to uses the Redding for the heavy lifting, things like pulling bullets or sizing bullets.
