Roller handle for RCBS Rock Chucker?

[Citadel99]

Just noticed the roller handle for the RCBS Rock Chucker at Inline Fabrication's web site.

Curious to see if anyone here has used it? I really like the roller handle on my Dillon 550B and, outside of the $60 price tag, it seems like a good idea for my single stage.

Thoughts?

Have not used it with RCBS, but I did check out their booth at a local show recently.
The handle they also produce for the 550 and 650 is ,to me, a nice improvement over Dillons roller handle.

I really like the LED down through the center hole on the toolhead.
Makes seeing the powder level a breeze.

They are stand up folks selling a quality line of niche products.
I suggest you contact them about the particulars of your reloading set-up, i.e. whether you work the press standing, height above your seat , things like that.

Not meaning to sound like I work for them or something.
They just struck me as honest in their sales approach.

Yeah.....looks nice. I've got the old RCI, but $60?!? $30 would be more like it.

I bought their press stand for my RCBS single stage; fast service, good product so i can recommend them from that perspective. USA made in Oregon.

I have roller handles on my Dillons and they are nice. Tried one on my RockChucker but later found a custom knob made out of a billiards ball that works even better for me. The larger size makes a huge difference.

I bought one for a Lee Classic Turret press and have not regretted it one iota.

I got one for my LnL AP and it is a well made product and the service was fast, and my questions were answered quickly.
However, I could never get it lined up at exactly 90°. As a result, it made using it somewhat awkward for me, particularly when seating primers on the upstroke.
I went back to my regular handle but soon added a pool ball as kelbro said. Large size and very smooth makes it very enjoyable to use.

I have roller handles on my 4 PW shotshell presses but I prefer the feel of the standard handle with the ball on the end better.

I put on one my pro2000. Very nice and well worth the money in my opinion.

I put one on my 650 and my LnL progressive. Very happy with both.

Bit the bullet and ordered the roller handle and the sky light. Thinking their mount might be close behind...

Citadel you just cost me $55 haha. I figure I'll try one and see how it works on my Rockchucker. I do find that with the standard ball my palm gets a little sore when loading a bunch of ammo.

Thanks for the heads up on the handles.

If the ball makes your hand sore, first make sure there are no ridges, etc on it. Then sprinkle a little baby powder in your palm. Makes it smooth as a baby's butt.

Used baby powder for years while trail riding. Really helps a day in the saddle.

Maybe he needs a chalk bag like the rock climbers use. Just hang it on the front of the bench.

I purchased this roller handle for my SDB, works great and no hand issues.
