The rcbs rock chucker press has been the pinnacle single stage press that RCBS has offered for decades. This press predates the 1970’s but is still used by reloaders everywhere as their go to press. This single stage press is made of cast iron and built to last a life time. RCBS offers a reloading kit based around the rock chucker labeled as the RCBS rock chucker supreme master reloading kit. The rcbs rock chucker is the perfect kit for a beginning reloader because it includes everything needed to start reloading. This kit saves a great deal of money over buying each item separately.
RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme Master Reloading Kit
With this kit, the buyer will receive a single stage press, powder measure, powder scale, priming tool, case loading block, case lube kit, chamfer and deburring tool, powder funnel, and a speer reloading manual. Of course this kit includes the rock chucker press. The uniflow powder measure included in this kit will give accurate powder charges consistently. Powder pours uniformly from cylinder into the brass case, eliminating the hazards of overcharging the case caused by clogging when the charges are “dumped”. Each charge is capable of throwing up to a 50 grain charge and is easily adjustable. The measure comes with two drop tubes for 22 caliber and up.
The powder scale included with the kit is the famous 505 powder scale. With features like its magnetic dampening and three post beam, this scale is a great product to have on any reloading bench because it measures quickly and accurately. With a 505 grain capacity, a digital scale would be the only upgrade option to this scale.
RCBS Hand Priming Tool
The priming tool is hand operated and comes with both small and large primer lugs. Priming cases with a hand priming tool can save time. The RCBS hand priming tool features a patented safety mechanism which separates the seating operation from the primer supply. This pretty much eliminates the possibility of tray detonation. The RCBS Hand Priming Tool can hold 100 primers in the primer tray allowing for minimal refilling time. The reloading kit also comes with a loading block which holds 40 cases in most rifle and pistol calibers.
RCBS also includes a case lube kit which is essential for reloaders looking to load bottle neck rifle cartridges. This kit has the lube -2 sizing lube, lube pad, and a neck brush. Just squeeze a few dabs of case lube on the pad, roll the case onto the pad, and use the brush to apply a small amount of lube to the inside of the case neck. Also included in this kit are chamfer and deburring tools, and a powder funnel for easy case charging should one decide to charge by hand instead of using the provided powder measure.
The speer reloading manual included in this package will get you started charging cases in no time. The Speer manual is packed full of how-to information, charts, illustrations, photographs and history. There are over 9000 powder loads, bullet data, detailed ballistics tables, bullet energy and velocity tables, a special techniques sections, problems solving section and much more.
The only kit that RCBS offers that can out match the rcbs rock chucker supreme master reloading kit is the rcbs rock chucker supreme deluxe reloading kit. This kit includes a Charge Master 1500 powder dispenser/digital scale combo for faster and more accurate charges, trim mate case prep center to make case prepping a breeze, and the trim pro case trimmer to keep all of your case lengths in spec. Each of these kits will provide the necessary equipment to get started reloading.
