Hi all I have an RCBS Rockchucker and I am looking for some 9mm Luger dies. I found a Lee Carbide 3 die set for a great price, but will it work on my Rockchucker or should I just stick to a set of RCBS dies?

Thanks!!
 
The only problem you will have is the monotony :) 50 rifle rounds aren't bad to make and last a while, 50 9mm's empty themselves really fast.

I shot IPSC last year reloading .40 on a rock chucker. I sure hope you have a powder measure, I made a box of 50 .357 magnum as soon as I got dies and went to the store and bought a powder measure before I would even think of making another box.

Since then I've reloaded probably 3000 .40, 1000 .357, 300 45-70 and 100 6.5x55...

If you do every step in big batches, maybe size/deprime 1000 one night, bell and prime the next and finish the 3rd, it's not too bad. It helps if you really think about where stuff on your bench is and how you pick up a casing and where you put it after it's done, you can really economize your motions to make it easier and quicker.

Yes, the dillon is coming soon, but I'm putting it off as I might be selling my house and moving soon and fancy toys have to wait. :( This forces me to make the most out of Grandpa's old rockchucker.
 
i have the rock chucker and its great ,but if your gonna be do'in hand gun ammo get the RCBS pro 2000 i did 300 rounds of 9mm in an hour with it and not even pushing myself,try that with the rockchucker, yes the lee dies work fine even in the pro 2000.
 
Lee 9mm dies worked great in my Rockchucker, its just slow and harder to hand feed each tiny case than say .308 in a single stage press.
