All I want for Christmas is a really precise reloading press

Can't see in the pics but: do you have, or could you incorporate, some threaded something under the shell-holder plate to keep it higher when working on smaller cartridges?.....versus using the full stroke of the press for the smaller rounds?
Not a big deal, I know, just imagining using it. (Being down to one or two presses would be neat)

Already ahead of you on that 1.
We have a "ram stop" that will limit the travel of the ram to about 50%. By simply reversing the handle it then puts you with the handle lever back in the upright position so you are back to using the top of the stroke.
For single stage, only 1 press would be needed to do everything. I have several presses now to sell as now I can cover absolutely every situation with my Dillon for the spray and pray ammo and the ACCU-MAXX for everything else from 25 ACP to 20MM:D

There is of course no comparison between the 2 presses, ATRS's being far the superior. Thats not the issue. The issue is that the Ultramag is nowhere near 650 bux, "thats all".

Being as we are a Redding dealer, and get the best pricing level available from Redding, I do not know nor can explain why some companies elect to sell products WELL BELOW cost. They must be making money somewhere but taking a severe hit on a press and trying to make up the loss somewhere else does not make much sense to me.
Even taking their price into account you still have exchange and customs fees to pay which will escalate that price somewhat.

SImply unbelievable the price they are putting on their web site.

There must something under that deal.

Best price here is from Alberta Tactical.

There must be some Zombies involved, I have to go there for my next hunt.

Have a nice Zombie day

Sounds great. Well designed, as I should have expected. (But I'm not buying one.........well, not yet.......maybe......)
 
Wow looks very nice. I am going to be in the market this year for a single stage. Mostly I will be loading 308 on it and had been considering the Forster Coax. How would this stack up against the Coax? I would like to consider a Canadian made product.

The Co-ax is a fine press but also a VERY different animal. It will work fine for 308 and most of the smaller calibers. The ACCU-MAXX is more versatile for those who either do or intend to load larger calibers and do not want the expense of room lost on the bench of having to have multiple presses. Having used a Co-ax I was not fond of the lever being up and having to pull it down and towards me.
Our press is more than a Co-ax but if the plan is to at some point to go larger caliber then our press would be the better option.
I believe once our press is in the hands of the consumers the feedback will be extremely positive, we have pulled all the stops in making this product and believe there is no finer more precisely made press on the market.

Give it a few months on the market, if you are not looking for an instant solution. The Canadian market is like dropping raw meat into a shark pool when it comes to new products. The feeding frenzy is fierce and if there are any shortcomings or issues the public will certainly know in very short order.
 
25ACP up to 50BMG with room to spare on top..Canadian made with pricing to put that Corbin press company in its place !! Mine was ordered tonight by EMT deposit and I can't wait to get it when they start to ship next week..Thanks for helping me out on this Rick !!

Not really - some in Canada for CA$315.... http://www.x-reload.com/redding-ultramag-press/

But what's nice is yours can also do 50BMG - which I like a lot. One press vs having to own 2.... There's the saving.

The steel parts came back today, so here is what the finished product looks like.
For those who have already purchased presses, we will start to assemble your presses Monday and ship them ASAP.
The initial run has sold out, we have ordered more material and will start a larger production run of presses as soon as material comes in.
Final analysis of costs including the increase in cost of materials has set the pricing of the next run of presses at $750.00
The 7/8 adapter bushing to use 7/8 dies is $30.00, the small shell holder adapter is $35.00 and 50 BMG shell holders are $30.00
For those wishing to order a press please advise whether you want right hand or left hand version so we can assemble it to your needs.



 
I have tried this press at ATRS... Truly built to last a lifetime... and your sons, and his son....
Very well engineered and impeccably built.
