Redding Ultramag Press 

At first glance you will see what sets the Ultramag apart from all other reloading presses: the unique location of its compound leverage system. Unlike other reloading presses which connect the linkage to the lower half of the press, the Ultramag's leverage system is connected to the top of the press frame. This allows you to develop literally tons of pressure without the usual concern about press frame deflection or misalignment.

The Ultramag features a huge 4-3/4” frame opening and 4-1/8” of usable ram stroke, making it ideal for loading oversized cartridges such as the old Sharps “Buffalo Cartridges” and British “Nitro- Express” rounds.

Its unique long link compound leverage system has more mechanical advantage over a greater distance than any other reloading press on the market. This makes “childs play” of difficult case forming operations.

Features

• High grade cast iron frame, offset handle, steel adapter bushing accepts standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies and is removable for use with oversized dies. Frame with bushing removed accepts 1-1/4" x 12 die threads.
• The frame is constructed of high grade cast iron for strength, long life and wear resistance
• Four mounting holes provide rigid mounting
• Offset handle is out of the way for all reloading operations
• All linkage pins are heat treated, precision ground and in double shear
• Steel adapter bushing accepts standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies and is removable for use with oversized dies
• Frame with bushing removed accepts 1-1/4" - 12 die threads
• "Smart" primer arm that moves in and out of position with ram travel: “Smart” primer arm automatically swings into position during the ram stroke and flips out of the way when not in use. For maximum sensitivity at the lowest possible leverage, priming is done at the end of the ram stroke.
• Spent primer collection system: Spent primers are automatically collected in the large diameter hollow ram. They then drop into a handy flexible plastic tube that can hold hundreds of spent primers before emptying, or be easily routed to your trash container.
