I scored a really nice rcbs rockchucker press for $100. Now I need to find the rest of the stuff I need to start reloading. My plan is to do it on the cheap and purchase all used stuff.
Typical usps.

Very good condition for an older press

It has the primer installer but not the primer magazine, that can still be had from rcbs.

A little corrosion on the top off the die bushing.

It cleaned right off and so did the handle.

Overall im pretty.impressed with this little press, its heavy cast iron and well made,,,, it still works very smoothly.
It's like a lathe, now to get all the other stuff thats needed. Lol.
 
Have two. A rock chucker and I believe a Jr. Check marketplace. You can usually find dies pretty reasonable. Another addictive hobby. What calibers you have to reload?

.38 special, 9mm, .45acp. I've got a bunch of .44 mag brass someplace that I want to trade for something I use.
Yeah I've got a set of dies coming from ebay. Rcbs carbide set. I think it was for 9mm. I did get a set for .45 acp but it was missing the sizing and decaying die and instead it had 2 case expander dies. It's being sent back.
