Click "More" button at bottom of search drop-down. You get LOTS of options.

Just remember it stands for Rock Chuck Bullet Swaging dies.

WOW! that’s stuck in my head now!

I've used a Rockchucker since around 1981 also. It's a good press. I suppose any other cast iron press would be fine also. But, If I were to start new and had the choice of any setup, I'd buy a Forster Co-Ax because that's what the Army Sniper School uses and Forster dies.

I also recommend the RCBS (Rockchucker)
I have two of them - one of which is more than 50 years old; and seriously doubt they can be worn out although I have replaced primer “arms” when inadvertently damaged. (My own fault)
Their strength and consistency are undeniable.

When I started reloading 8 or so years ago I was against a progressive for no other reason than it seemed like a lot for someone just starting. I was sure I needed a simple single stage press, and 99% sure it would be an RCBS Rockchucker or something else from RCBS. My neighbor owned one and I was familiar with the brand. I did lots of reading and research and it seemed to me like the most bang for my $$$ was a Lee Classic Turret and that is where my money went. In the past 8-9 years I have spent as much on accessories (from Inline Fab) for my press as I did on the press itself. I have never once regretted my decision, and many times been happy I made it. The option to go from single stage to auto index is something you may grow to appreciate if you ever start loading pistol. The option to change turrets with dies already mounted and ready to go is nice for multiple calibers. Spend you money where you like, there a lots of fine single stage presses out there. Just thought I would share my journey.

I have like most of us several different colors on my bench, green, red, and red again. I think that they all are serviceable, I have done decades on a lee turret and done just fine. Would it work for an F-class guy, don't know, I know it works just fine for me, and don't think it is the weak link in the chain.

I've still got my Lee Challenger 2000 that I got cheap via usenet about 1994, an older orange Lyman turret, Dillon 550b & SDB, and a Rock Chucker of unknown age.
They all work, but I need another bench in here. (and more time)

It's hard to go wrong w/a cast iron single stage. Primer tools, maybe not so much. The Ram Prime II had the "advantage" of being the only primer tool in stock from the shop that closed about '94
