RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme stater kits ?
- Thread starter FullDraw

I think it's a great kit for someone getting started because it comes with everything you need to start loading except the dies, shell holder, and components. IMHO you can't go wrong with RCBS. Maybe pick up another loading manual or two and your good to get started.

It's a great kit, and also look into the RCBS Accessory Kit.
The RCBS Rockchucker starter kit comes complete with everything you need to start reloading (it includes the excellent Speer #13 manual). If you decide later on to "move up" to a turret or even a progressive reloader, your Rockchucker will still be a good "back up" press to have for working up loads before going "into production" with your progressive.
ricciardelli suggested looking at the RCBS Accessory kit, which contains all the stuff you're going to end up buying separately anyway.
Once you get your kit, take your time, read the manual until you understand the procedures of safe reloading before starting to reload your own ammunition. It's a great hobby.

P..bullet press
I talked to the old guy at the local gun shop he recommended the rock chucker kit as the best one because its a complete kit less the dies. He also said to load one at a time for Magnums which i will be loading and to stay away from production presses as you can make deadly mistakes with them even greater chances when starting out.
Thanks for the info guy's I think I have my mind made up on which way to go.

It's not just "Magnums" that are subject to deadly mistakes when reloading...every single cartridge, regardless of caliber, can cause a catastrophic failure of your firearm if double charged or if the bullet is seated too deep, causing massive pressure increase. There are other "issues" as well. I'm not trying to frighten you, just be aware that reloading is a very, very serious business. Shut yourself in a (well ventilated) room with no distractions...I don't even have a radio playing when I reload.
Bear in mind that the loads listed in your manual are FACT. They are not a "suggestion"...start out with the minimum listed load and work up from there.
Enjoy!

I bought the Lee aniversary kit, and it has everything except dies, and the length gauges for the trimmer (about $5 per caliber).
It was only $130 with the Lee reloading manual, and I'm happy with it.
The only other thing I bought was another manual (Speer) and a digital caliper from Princess Auto for $20.
