Description
The Redding Ultramag Reloading Press (Redding part no. 70000) is a heavy-duty single-stage reloading press built around a cast-iron frame with a 4-3/4 inch frame opening and 4-1/8 inch of usable ram stroke. It accepts standard 7/8 inch-14 dies and is designed for reloaders who form cases, size large belted magnums, or load very long cartridges such as the Sharps buffalo rounds and British Nitro Express calibres.
What sets the Ultramag apart is the location of its compound leverage system. Instead of linking to the lower half of the press, the long-link leverage is attached to the top of the frame, so the frame is loaded in a way that resists deflection and keeps the ram and die aligned under tons of force. All linkage pins are heat-treated, precision ground and run in double shear. The offset handle stays clear of the work, Redding’s “smart” primer arm swings into position automatically on the ram stroke and out of the way when not needed, and spent primers drop through the hollow ram into a removable tube at the rear. Four mounting holes take 5/16 inch bolts. Redding backs the press with a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

FAQ
Which dies fit the Redding Ultramag? Any standard 7/8 in-14 die. With the optional #70030 bushing it also takes Redding 1 in-14 Z-Series dies.
Does it come with a shellholder? The press (part 70000) is supplied without a shellholder; Redding’s snap-in shellholders and similar-style holders from other makers fit. Redding also sells kit versions that include a shellholder and die set.
Is the Ultramag suitable for everyday .308 or .223 loading? Yes – it loads standard cartridges with ease, but its 4-3/4 in opening and long stroke really come into their own on belted magnums, .50 calibre and Nitro Express cases, and heavy case-forming work.
