What press are you using for your ELR reloading?

Dedicated for 338 and up would be the application I am looking for.

That is why this question is being posted in this section vs Reloading in general.

My Redding ultra mag covers everything from 300win up to 375 ct

I have the redding and the rcbs ammomaster 2. Probably end up selling the redding if I like the ammomaster because you can do 50 cal on down. The redding you are definitely maneuvering the bullet up into the die body before seating for the 33xc and cheytac lengths.

Someone will be along shortly to tell you how awesome the prazipress, and the Italian one are. :)

Buy a 50 BMG press and be done with it. To be honest I usually resize even 223 in mine these days. The hornady is good because of the bushings. Measure it every which way you can when you get it to make sure it is square and just send it back for another if it isn't.

I have the Ammomaster also. My drive to that one was to not have to "scoop" the bullet into the seater die, I'm sure one day I'll break down and order a Prazipress but for now this does the job just great.

Edit- I just looked at the Hornady 50 BMG press, it looks identical to the Ammomaster.

They mostly are, the bushings are the only difference but they make reloading with normal sized dies way faster cause you can just swap dies with a quarter turn.

Using LEE everything, mostly out of frustration. And now that its up and running and load development is complete with some great results your going to be hard pressed to argue the results. Consistently 1/2" out to 800 with a cold bore hit on 1 moa at 600 yesterday. I am annealing every batch and have a very good scale (actually the scale cost more than all the other equipment combined). Will be pushing out to 2 miles with this load in a week or two.
