Re: Thinking about starting reloading

The Rock Chucker is an excellent press to start your reloading career. It's where I started more than 20 years ago. I learned a lot on that press, still have it and occasionally use when I don't want to tear down the progressive for just a few rounds of another caliber.

Feel free to PM with any questions, I'll be glad to try and answer to the best of my ability.

One piece of advise to begin, don't scrimp on the dies (especially the resizing die). Most of the time I use the Redding competition dies (if available). The micrometer on the bullet seating die makes all the difference in the world when trying to dial in the seating depth. And be sure to get carbide dies when doing straight walled pistol - no need to use a lubricant when resizing with carbide dies. Saves a step.

You'll also need to add a decent pair of calipers to the order.
