dicehorn Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 If it was me I would get the RCBS Rockchucker - new or second hand. I have had mine 16 years + and that was secondhand when I bought it - its loaded thousands of cases still as good as when I got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swift Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 been using a RCBS rockchucker press for many years and it's a great press also used a RCBS partner press when I first started reloading also a good press always reloaded good accurate ammo.

Redgum Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Lee gear is more on the budget end of the market I know but my 4 hole turret press does a grand job loading 243 win and have had some excellent results so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamie g Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I have a redding big boos 2 press its great. if I was buying again though i would get a Wilson press. I like they fact if your testing loads you can take it with you to adjust them. then again saying that you can buy a cheap lee hand press to adjust col when out in the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 then again saying that you can buy a cheap lee hand press to adjust col when out in the field I've done that with my RCBS Partner Press. It is light enough and compact, I found I did not need to bolt it down if all I was doing was nudging a bullet in a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 another vote for the rock chucker not cheap but its a press you will never break, I bought mine in the rockchucker kit from the USA has most of what you need and I saved about £100 buying it that way.

Thanks for all the replies. It is going to be a Rock Chucker or Checker as I put in the wanted forum!! I love the grammar is important, ever time I reload I will be thinking of a jack and a horse.
