Redding Big Boss II Pro Pak

• Complete bench starter kit: The Big Boss II Pro Pak combines a single-stage press with core measuring, case-prep and lubrication tools, so a reloader can assemble a capable bench around one matched package instead of sourcing each item separately.
• Single-stage precision workflow: A single-stage setup favors deliberate, one-step-at-a-time loading, which helps maintain consistency when building hunting or match ammunition and makes process control easier for careful handload development.
• Heavy cast-iron press construction: The Big Boss II press uses a substantial cast-iron frame that resists flex under sizing pressure, helping maintain alignment and repeatability during demanding brass work.
• Cleaner primer handling: Redding’s Spent Primer Collection System routes spent primers and residue down through the ram into a collection tube, reducing debris around the working surfaces and helping keep the press cleaner during long loading sessions.
• Useful case-preparation tools included: With the scale, trickler, deburring tool, case lube kit and case preparation kit in the box, the package supports the practical steps that matter for uniform ammunition, from brass prep to careful powder charging.

About the Big Boss II Series

The Big Boss II series sits in Redding’s line of heavy-duty single-stage reloading presses for handloaders who want a rigid platform for careful ammunition assembly. It is aimed at shooters who value control over each loading step, whether they are building hunting loads, refining precision rifle ammunition or processing brass that benefits from strong leverage and stable press geometry. Within Redding’s press range, the Big Boss II is known for combining substantial frame strength with a layout intended to keep operation smooth and repeatable over long service life.

A defining feature of the series is the cast-iron frame, which provides the stiffness needed for resizing and case-forming work without the spring or movement that can affect feel and consistency. The design also incorporates Redding’s Spent Primer Collection System, which sends primer residue down through the ram and away from the frame-to-ram bearing surfaces. In practical use, that means less mess on the bench and less abrasive debris around the parts that matter most for smooth operation. The series appeals to reloaders who prefer durable, bench-mounted equipment with straightforward mechanical feedback rather than high-output progressive systems.

About the Redding Big Boss II Pro Pak

The Redding Big Boss II Pro Pak takes the core strengths of the Big Boss II press and turns them into a more complete reloading kit. Instead of starting with only the press, this package adds the supporting tools that make a single-stage setup practical from the beginning: a Model 2 Powder and Bullet Scale, Powder Trickler, case lube kit, deburring tool, case preparation kit, powder funnel and the Hodgdon Annual Manual. That combination suits both first-time reloaders building a serious bench and experienced handloaders upgrading from lighter or less complete equipment.

The press itself is the foundation of the package. Its cast-iron construction and strong leverage are useful when resizing brass, especially on larger cases or operations that place more load on the frame. The practical benefit is steadier feel at the handle and more confidence that the press is staying aligned under pressure. The Spent Primer Collection System also matters in daily use because it directs residue away from the ram and working area, helping reduce cleanup and limiting abrasive contamination where smooth movement is important.

What makes the Pro Pak especially useful is how the included tools support consistent ammunition building rather than simply filling a box. The balance-beam scale and trickler help with careful powder measurement, while the case-prep and deburring tools address brass uniformity before a primer or bullet is ever seated. As a result, the kit is well suited to reloaders who want a durable single-stage reloading kit focused on methodical, repeatable work.

About Redding

Redding Reloading Equipment was founded by Burr Bement in 1946 in Virgil, New York. The company focuses on tools for handloading ammunition and has built its reputation around presses, dies, powder measures, scales and case-preparation equipment made for reloaders who value repeatable results. Redding’s product range also includes specialized die systems such as Type S bushing dies and Competition series dies for rifle cartridges, which are widely associated with careful load tuning and concentric ammunition assembly.

The company was incorporated as Redding-Hunter, Inc. in 1956 and later marketed its products under the Redding Reloading Equipment name in the 1960s. Today, Redding is based in Cortland, New York, United States, and remains closely identified with equipment for serious handloaders who prefer durable, bench-oriented tools for precision loading work.
