If none of the ones listed are big enough Atrs makes a massive one that should do absolutely anything

Yeah, our press kinda kills everything else on the market for sheer size, mechanical advantage and precision.

Had 1. Was disappointed with it so was inspired to make a better press, and did. Better product and more affordable too.
How about some Germany technology? Expensive as hell but ###y (700+ Euro for the smaller model in the video and 900+ Euro for the larger) Now not an old press but if I had the money I would buy one.

They will export it if you send them a mail and ask, and so would mr Turban himself if you made contact.
Reason for not exporting to the US in general is your import/export policies, when it comes to gun parts etc.
But a reloading press has no import restrictions.
It's completely CNC machined from quality billet steel(minus F . Misumi bushings) mine weighs around 36 pounds.
The centering accuracy guarantee of 1/100 mm( 0.00039370in) for the whole stroke length is true.
The press stroke is smooth as a ball bearing while solid as a bank vault.
A solid an accurate stop, no cam over, no backlash wobble or anything, like most other presses i've tried.
Certainly a joy to use.
The handle is solid steel and 1' in diameter so good luck with breaking it, the picture is not correct as it is not colored.
The thinnest linkages is over a cm thick, except from the plastic primer bottle i do not see how one could break anything on it.
The fit and finish of the whole product is really top notch, the primer system works excellent.
The 1 1/4-12 and 7/8-14 reduction bushings are incredibly well made.
And it has enough leverage to press anything you want to.
Takes any standard shellholder, or extended ones if desired.
My co-ax went up for sale as soon as i got it,as it certainly does not make more concentric ammo, i tested with it before it went up for sale of course.
You will need some metric hex keys for mounting though, mounts with 3x M12 bolts, nicely recessed into the mount.
Currently working with Dan to get a custom Ultramount press riser made for it.
Comes complete with mounting bolts, the needed keys for the thread adapters and to loosen the shellholder part and primer bottle fixture.
I've owned/used a lot of single stage presses, and certainly this is the best one on the market, makes my old rock chucker seem like a toy.
It comes at a hefty price though."

CORBIN CSP-1 or CORBIN CSP-2 Mega-Mite Reloading/Swaging Presses. The CSP-2 model handles up to 20mm Vulcan cases. It can also swage up to a 25mm bullet.
PICATANNY ARSENAL, BARNES and BERGER all use Corbin presses... more info at corbins DOT com
Ammosmith Reloading channel on YouTube has an interesting video featuring the CSP-2 here. Notice how insignificant the Rock Chucker looks beside it:
The CSP-1 sells for USD $739 and the CSP-2 is USD $1398.
I am still saving for a CSP-2...

I have a CSP2, it is for sale. Frankly it pales in every manner compared to our ACCUMAXX.
I bought the CSP2 specifically for loading 20x138B cartridges for my L39 Lahti. It takes nearly 3 times more effort to size a casing and the stroke of the handle is fully 180 degrees so the mechanical advantage is lost beyond 90.
I have both mounted on a bench and am happy to let you work both. You will discover precisely what I am talking about.
Watching the video it does not show the press mechanics or the fact that the operator HAS to stand to work the press, this is due to the handle having to travel over 180 degrees of movement from bottom of stroke to top of stroke.

Rick is correct, i have been to the shop and have seen it in action, a work of art and functional yes sir ree
best value for the money and it will outlast your kids lifetime,
probably the best press on the market bar none at any cost,
you have to see it in person to fully appreciate it,
as a BR guy I know the value of a good press and have owned lots of them,
ATRS is the best and I do not even like Rick (just kidding but really it is the best)
and I do not own one as I only load up to 308 but if I went bigger I would own one or if I did not have 6 presses already for the cartridges I load for,
wish ATRS would have made it a few years ago I would have bought two of them
