RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme kit?

[tv1217]

Since I'll soon be the proud owner of the dumbest handgun and caliber ever devised by mankind, I'm thinking I should get back into reloading.

Just wondering if that's still the kinda "go-to" kit to get started?

I really want to stick to a single stage or turret this go round. I used to have a Hornady Lock N Load but much like with women, I don't really have the patience any longer to deal with tinkering around with a progressive trying to make it work just right.

That is what I started with. I later got a Lee Classic Turret. I still use the Rock Chucker for all hunting loads and resizing and primer pocket swaging on 223 and 300BO. I do everything else on the LET. I love them both.

I love my Rock Chucker. Solid press. You should have no issues with it.

I have that kit and still do 223 on it. It is a great kit. For pistol calibers I prefer the RCBS turret. It’s nice to do more than 1 step without taking the brass out of the shell holder. Since you already have some experience, I would go with a turret press. I don’t know if RCBS has a kit with a turret or not.

I have that and the LNL progressive. Still use the single stage for all my low volume and precision stuff. Very solid press.

Yeah I'll probably be ok with a single for now just because I don't see myself doing more than perhaps a couple hundred rounds a month or so.

The best for me....

Back in '73' or so, I bought my first press=RockChucker=This is better designed than the new model "RockChucker Supreme".
This type can be had on E-Bay, is the old model with the bicycle grip style of operating handle.
Later in the mid '80's I added a Dillon RL550 progressive.
The RockChucker is on the right side of my bench, the 550 on the left.
These two presses have served me well for close to 50 years of the Handloading hobby...Bill.

I’m partial to Hornady, I currently have the AP with all the works for my mass production and the single LNL for my test loads.

Had the AP before and I was not a fan. Could never get it to be totally reliable. It got to the point I would just load one round at a time, only starting a new case when the one before it fell in the bin. Biggest issues were priming and throwing the powder charge. Hopefully the new owner had better luck though.

I have nothing bad to say about the Rock Chucker, but, I chose the Redding T7 turret as my press.
I got the simplicity of a single stage press, with the ability to load quicker and more efficiently.

The journey has begun. I'll upgrade to a turret later... probably. If/when I decide to start other calibers besides the 50ae
