I saw one auction for the Rockchucker Supreme that stated it was developed for use with the UM calibers. Hmmm I can see maybe 50 cal (what press would one use for 50 cal???). I digress.

I have an old Hornady C press and a Dillon 650. I am looking for a Redding T-7 or other brand turrent press.

Will any of these accept the 338 RUM or the 7mm RUM? I haven't been reloading in a while and have not tried these.

  EasyGo6,
  
  My buddy and I use the RCBS Ammo Master for 50BMG Reloading.

  If you plan to do this, BUILD A VERY VERY VERY STRONG BENCH. Reloading for that caliber is no joke and is a pain in the arse in my opinion.
  
  I use the RCBS Supreme for everything else. But I think if I had a Ultra Mag to load for I would go with the bigger Redding press.

  I use the same Rockchucker that I've had for about 30 years for all my metallic loading, which includes 300 Wby and 375 RUM. It works okay. I'm not sure what the dimensions of the other presses are.

  I have a RCBS rock chucker and a Hornady lock and load AP progressive press. I load the UAM's no problem with either one.
  I know Hornady makes a press just for the 50 BMG as well as RCBS.
  much larger press to fit the much larger Dies.

  I load RUM's on a standard rock chucker just fine.

  I use the Rock Chucker Supreme to load 7mm 300 and 338 Ultra Mag. Plenty of clearance.

  I've never had a problem with the UM's and my Co-Ax. Works like a charm...

  Easygo6,I have a very nice RCBS Big Max that takes the work out of loading any shell,the only feature that isn't satisfactory is the primer catcher.If you can find one,buy it,you won't regret it.
