Reloading Press Advantage

[Brocky]

In researching reloading press kits I am narrowing the search down to the following;
1. Redding Big Boss Pro-Pak
2. RCBS Supreme Master
3. Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic

I've used the RCBS press and find it very good then experienced people tell me the Redding Big Boss is excellent. The Redding I have seen on display when in Bass Pro in Houston last summer it is very beefy and looks like it will last for generations.

The Hornady I have seen but do not remember it well. The wild card is the Hornady press and I ask is the draw for those who bought it simply the free bullets or does it have distinct advantages over the other two kits.
I am new to reloading and appreciate hearing about your experiences with these presses. I shoot 308 Win and am considering a 300 WSM, please fire away I am here to learn.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of those choices.
It will come down to personal preference.

I agree. All are good presses.

Thanks All for the advice it looks like I will have a closer look at a Hornady then be able to compare better and from your advice I know all the presses are good quality. The Foster CoAX is getting a bit out of my price range if I can find a good second hand one it would also be a consideration.

If you are going to order your gear from the USA you might fit the Co-Ax into your budget. FS

I went with Hornady and have no complaints.

Nice set up you have there Savage Express, thanks for the photo!
I will be keeping my search to the original three in checking the Co-ax reviews its impressive but the price is not. I can understand why some buy the Co-ax but I plan on loading between 200 to 300 rounds a year so the extra cost I would not be able to justify.
The other three come equipped with good equipment that I will be more than happy with for years to come.
Thanks for the pointers on where to buy in the US I even noticed a decent new price on EE for the RCBS kit in Alberta.
Thanks for the advice.
