Current Production Presses with on-press priming?

[Landric]

I do all my handloading on a RCBS Rock Chucker II from in the early 90's. It has an on-press priming system where the primers feed from the pickup tube for priming. Generally I prime the cases when I either resize or bell them, depending on the dies I'm using.

Being somewhat set in my ways, and not having any interest in adding yet another step to handloading, I don't want to use an off-press hand priming system. I want to add another press to my inventory to help speed the process somewhat. I'm thinking either a turret or a second single stage, I haven't decided that, so I'm interested in either. The current Rock Chucker is a different set up, which involves either handling single primers, using a hand priming off-press system, or perhaps buying other parts not included with the press to feed primers on the press (not sure about that last one).

I have considered just finding a used Rock Chucker II like the one I already have, but they seem to be going for new prices, and I'd rather buy a new press if that is an option anyway. I'm not married to RCBS, I just want a good press with a priming system I can live with.

So, what are my options? TIA

Here are a couple pics of the priming system on my current RCII in case I didn't do a great job describing what I am looking for.

That whole rig is mickey-mouse at best.

Once you use an RCBS hand priming tool, yours will be in the junque box like mine has been since the early 1970's!

With the hand tool, there is no handling primers, filling tubes, or wondering how much pressure you are putting on a primer when you seat it. You just dump a 100 primer tray in the feed tray, shake it to turn them all right side up, and start priming cases.

I can prime a 100 in less time then it takes to fill the feed tubes on the press set-up, with about 100% more feedback on loose or tight primer pockets.

If you like Lee products, most of theirs have the Safety Prime system for on-press size/deprime/prime without needing to fill those little primer straws I've seen for some oter makes.
