Wow rock chucker what a beast!

I have the same feeling with my iron single stage Hornady press.

I bought a Rock chucker tonight at Walmart. Spur of the moment thing. I was browsing sporting goods. And picked it up off the shelf. When i felt the weight i had to buy it. Boy am i impressed with the quality. It's hefty compared to my other press's.

bolt it down with the biggest bolt and nut that will fit… Zero play!!

Now you might finally have the leverage to size those dam cbc 9mm cases. Those cursed things are the hardest case I've ever sized.

Its a great press! You will like it.

everyone needs a Rock Chucker!

Couldn’t be happier with the one I bought in 1991. 30’years, still going strong!

Largest case was .338 win Mag. Smallest case .380 ACP.

It will bring you years of you, congrats.

I've actually used mine for its intended purpose, swaging .224 bullets from .22 cases.

It's a lifetime purchase!

I haven't made it to that rabbit hole yet but it sounds very challenging. When I get casting figured out that will be the next adventure. Can one really ever completely be done exploring the depths of this hobby.

I've only been reloading for a little over two years and I knew the answer was no before I even finished reading the question.

I've had mine sense 1975, Got the press, set of .308 dies and a shell holder for 42 dollars new. I load for 6 rifles and 7 handguns, and never had a problem. Took it apart a few times for cleaning and lubing. The only issue was the spent primer tray broke { my fault ) and RCBS sent me a new one FOR FREE. Great products, Great service

RCBS will send you anything broken for free! Their stuff is that good

My Rockchucker ll was bought in 1990 and it still doesn't have any play in the ram when it's completely up. No wiggle at all.

Pretty sure they send you stuff that's not broken for free, too.

Bought mine in '75. Still use it 95% of the time.

Resizing .270 Win brass to into 7x57 will make you appreciate that leverage and strength.

Have resized almost every belted mag cartridge available into 7mm RemMag.
Just another day at the press.

Get ready for many years of service, use, satisfaction, happiness and shooting.
Outstanding purchase, congrats.

the only thing free I got from reloading companies was a mean Email from Dillion ( during the plandemic, so I ani’t mad)

My first press (mid 70s) was a Rockchucker, and I used it clear up until the late 90s - not long after I got my .45-110 (2 7/8 inch case) Sharps. I then bought the Rockchucker "Supreme" that I'm using nowadays. The taller Rockchucker "Supreme" with its larger "window" makes it easier for me to move those tall .45-110 Sharps cases in and out of it.
I'm 74 now. I doubt I'll be around when and if my Rockchucker "Supreme" wears out. As a matter of fact, I sold my original Rockchucker probably 15 years ago. And as far as I know, it's still going strong.

Dillon has a similar policy. I bought a used Super Swage and one of the shell guides was bent. One phone call, new guide in less than a week.

I like my old RC2 press better then the new RC.

The RC2 has a primer feed. The prime catcher is not great, but allows more working room then the new RC.
Bought the new one on sale & with rebate, a good investment.
