The Redding Big Boss II Pro-Pak is a complete reloading starter kit built around one of the most capable presses in the industry. If you're setting up your first handloading bench or upgrading from basic equipment, this kit gives you the essential tools to start loading ammunition with confidence—all from a maker that's been refining precision reloading equipment since 1946.
The centerpiece is Redding's Big Boss II press, a workhorse designed for both standard and large-capacity cases. Every Big Boss II is cast from high-density iron at a family-owned Pennsylvania foundry to Redding's proprietary specifications, then CNC machined and hand-fitted in their Cortland, New York shop. That American manufacturing backbone means the press is built to last decades of hard use without loss of precision. One standout feature is the spent primer removal system: primers drop straight down through the center of the ram into a captive tube below, keeping dirt and grime away from the critical frame-and-ram interface where wear happens fastest. That design detail alone keeps your press running tight through thousands of rounds.
The Pro-Pak bundles the Big Boss II with the foundational tools you need to start reloading—everything from basic case preparation through primer seating and powder charging. Rather than buying pieces individually, you get a coordinated set of quality Redding components at a price advantage, so you can focus your budget on dies and components specific to your calibers. This is the kit that's launched generations of serious handloaders, and the Big Boss II's reputation for handling tough forming jobs on magnum cases makes it equally at home on a precision rifle bench or a high-volume pistol reloading setup.
