Redding Big Boss II has 40 years of design improvements over my 1978 Rock Chucker.

I felt as if I was betraying 40 years, and counting, of reliable RC service so I never pulled the
trigger on a BB2. In my haste I bought a Forester Co-ax instead.

I have wanted that press for years and still do... I am a huge fan of just about anything Redding puts out and the BigBoss II is no different... the hollow ram/spent primer capture system is worth the $$$ IMHO. that being said, I still don't have one

Default Big Boss II with up grades

I replaced my RCBS Rock Chucker II with a Big Boss II and have never been happier I did. The BB II is superior in every aspect , especially in the spent primer collection system. The on press priming also works very well once you properly adjust it.
I made a stand alone case ejector for mine, which can be disabled with one thumb screw.
Also added LED lights and just this past month added the final tweak, a case counter.

Do you have any more details on your case ejector system, I have the Inline fab system and dont care for the spring.
