Best press for Ultra Mag Loading
« on: April 12, 2005, 10:10:37 AM »
Im sure this has been asked before, but what is the best option in Presses for loading for a 300 ultra mag.  Or do most have enough height capacity?  I would like to get into reloading and the two primary loads that I will be working with can hardly be more different.  300 ultra mag and the 204 Ruger.  Is this going to be a problem??

RCBS Special 5 works fine.  I am sure the Rockchucker would too.

I use an RCBS Turret press which is large enough to handle my 300 RUM reloading.
