As always....another great video! I have the 3BR powder measure and its great. Consistently +/- 0.1grain when throwing 35 - 40 gns. Also Redding has great customer service. I called about a bullet seating die and they sent out the part right away, no charge. Very rare nowa days.

New to reloading, been reading and watching your videos for awhile though. I settled on the Big Boss pro pak, not the versa, and love it. Im very happy I got it. Kind of wish I got the versa but couldnt afford at the time. There is nothing about the kit I dont like. Im beyond happy with it. Thanks for posting this video on the kit Got mine at Graf & Sons for $280 with free shipping but mind you this was just the Big Boss pro pac, not with the versa kit, however they sell the versa at Grafs too

Great video, just bought my first Redding press recently (T-7), am really impressed with the quality, plenty of finger room. Perhaps newbies should be warned about long term storage of powder in dispenser (might melt the hopper). Let us know how it handles stick powder.

This is the highest quality press I have seen that is not a custom press. Far out shines RCBS and Lee doesn't have a chance.

5 stars my friend. Can't wait to see what you can produce with those.

Update, as of 2015 this kit does not come with press or dies. Just the powder thrower and shown accessories. still retail at around 485 USD on Amazon...mind boggling.

Ammosmith, you're my hero.

Great review! Thanks my friend!

It is. However...if you are shooting benchrest or you want a setup to last several lifetimes this is the way to go. The kit is for video production but the press by itself is a great tool.

Very nice video. I am thinking about buying this same kit very soon. And I really like the Redding Big Boss II press also. How has it been performing for you since you first made this video? Did you upgrade and stop using it?

I will. We are using this equipment for our next DVD production.

Very nice AmmoSmith!

@Rounder308 The sizing wax is not used on the pad. It's used for most rifle sizing operations and the liquid lube I have not used it yet. We will go a

Thanks for another great video. Several questions: 1) is the imperial sizing wax used on the lubrication pad? 2) how many oz tin is the wax? 3) how is dry neck media used? Thanks again

@1978CWoods I wanted to try Redding since I already have 2 RCBS presses and a few Lee presses. I wanted to see how the kit was put together and the tools that it was shipped with. I am going to use it for video production so I wanted something not so beat up.

Great video. I have a question can you tell if why you picked this kit over let say something like one of the lees kits. Thanks

Did you move? What happened to your old bench? Do you like Birds eye, Denty More and Apricots?

@Rounder308 I hate the new reply option...we will go a lot deeper into the gear. I am under the gun for the next DVD but I will get some vids out soon. The computer crashed so we are taking the opportunity uo upgrade some stuff while we're at it.

The Redding presses will accept 1-1/4"x12 dies, same as the Lee dies, and I think there's a few other companies making dies in that thread.

Where can one buy said dvd your working on?

Great review. Aren't you concerned about lead exposure to your Dinty Moore and Del Monte?? :p

nice !!!!

@ammosmith Oh cool, i didnt think the press came with it, now Im interested. I wish I got this rather than the hornady classic kit. Not saying there is anything wrong with the hornady, but there are some things in the hornady kit that are junk like the hand primer, also the powder measurer handle doesnt run smooth it gets locked up on the upstroke I wanted to build a setup buying things separate but the kit was just way cheaper, but now I wish a spent the extra money and built it up separately

Also where did you buy this kit and how much was it?

New studio in a gun friendly area.

sweet

@freestylmx311 Yes the press comes with it. The Kit is nice but for the money you're paying I wish for a better scale, eliminate the powder trickler and include a set of decent calipers. The best bet would to include a set of dies of the customer's choice. The Powder measure takes some getting used to. You can do better by building your own kit online. Get what you want and need and you're set.

@freestylmx311 I'd like to see a real kit put together for us shooter to buy. A kit where all the basic stuff is included and a few extras...all premium equipment too. It seems the companies build the kits around a press and forget the importance of the other crap they throw into the box.

It retails for $549.00 US.

@Juice56107 Redding direct. $450.

$450 and it didnt include the press?? Holy hell

No.... ;-P

thats one expensive press kit / set up
