Thread: Best single stage press (Which model)?

Ooh this man is cheating. Nailed it.T7 has been a huge and satisfying investment.

I have a Rockchucker made in 1965 it is still as tight and smooth as when it left the factory you will never wear out any of the big name presses in a couple of life times.

cheers shooternz for the feedback

I have a bb2 and like it except for seating primers. I prefer seating primers with a lee primer seater which attaches to any press.
I also have a forster co ax which is excellent but does not suit hornady dies with drop sleeves although these are ok in the bb2.

you must be another one of these forum gear hoarders. with back ups for your back ups. ill have a look at these lee primers never heard of them i assume they speed things up a tad. I am started to get into the way of thinking dont sell anything.

Anyone had any experience with the rcbs summit press? I'm looking between that and the rock chucker for reloading a 30 nosler and 284

if you look at the ultimate reloader 14 press shoot out, look at page 14 on the website and there are all the results for the shoot out including summit and rockchucker. The summit dosnt have factory on press priming, they are both excellent presses by the looks of the results page. Ive got a 30 nosler coming.

go to very bottom of the first page. Then go to page 15 of the results. He also talks about features of all the presses.

I have both RC and Redding BBII set up. Personally the over cam on the RockChucker, to me makes it the better press. The build quality of both are outstanding. The primer collector on the Redding is more convienient, but not enough when compared to the other advantages of the RCBS. Personal preference at the end of the day.
