Good-bye, RCBS Press

[Scrounger]

A month or so ago we had a long thread of complaints about how poorly the RCBS Rockchucker handled spent primers. There were several suggestions of possible fixes, some home spun and some the factory SHOULD adopt. But won't. So a few days ago a gentleman on GreyBeard's forum put a virtually new Lyman T-Mag II Turret Press and extra turret up for sale at a can't-say-no-price and I jumped all over it. It looks like it will be much better on spent primers so I voted with my feet. I'm going to chuck a few rocks at my Rockchucker and send it on down the road. [smilie=l:

Yea I'm that way with stuff too. Last 4 Rolls Royces I had, I got rid of them because the ash tray was full.

Full? Would that have been sheep droppings? You Texas boys really know how to turn a sheep's head. We all know why you wear boots.

I can't speak for the Rockchucker, but I know my Lyman dropped about one out of every ten to twenty on the floor. You'll not have any trouble selling it as it's good in most every respect except that one.
That said, however, I recently bought the new RCBS turret press and am happy to say the least. It gives plenty of room to get big fingers in and the primer catcher has missed once in about 500 resizings. I think it's also faster than a single stage press. So far, so good.
