There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
Good for you!. It's your press, your bench and you know what's best fer you. I was a heavy duty construction equipment mechanic/electrician and when I saw those bolts I immediately thought of the times I've ripped flesh off my arms, legs, butt, on bolts sticking up, from squeezing into a tight spot to work on a crane or man-lift. A careful operator won't have no trouble wif them bolts...Originally Posted by Love Life
My Anchor is holding fast!
Can we see another picture of the bolts?
The press is neat but those bolts. . .
"Is all this REALLY necessary?"
You should see the Lee Classic Cast I mounted yesterday for sizing. There were THREE bolts sticking up. Miraculously I survived.
If the superglue ever fails I suggest using acraglass.I no longer use bolts. I super glued the press to the bench...
I liked this press so much I found and ordered one. It didn't hurt that part of the money goes to disabled vets either not to mention the red, white, and blue paint. I wonder if my old tired Rock Chucker will mind sharing space on the bench?

Well my press finally showed up last night after touring 5 different UPS facilities in AZ.
I'll do some loading on it later this week.
Anyone else get one of these?

An update:
This press is still awesome and I have loaded a boat load of rifle ammo on it. Smooth as silk, Very low run out, and still looks cool.
I'd say the quality is there and I believe there will be no issues with longevity.
This press is so awesome.
Yep. I have #49. It's right next to my Dillons too!
I got #41...and it sits next to my Dillon!
Could I please ask someone to measure for me what the longest round would be to fit in the opening?
And I see it is set up for 1.25" dies as well.
Thanks,
DC
Any updates on this press???? I sure like the way this press is designed, looks to be another winner by RCBS!!! My RC II is my "go to" press for all my rifle reloading but I can sure see one of these on my bench.
With shell holder & die, there is 4 1/2" of clearance for case & boolit.
BTW...I have #120. but no Dillion to mount it next to.

My RCBS Summit Single Stage Press Review
Being a fan of single stage presses (and I’ve owned quite a few), I decided to pick up a RCBS Summit single stage press and thought I would to share a few thoughts on this press. I’m actually not sure what RCBS was trying to accomplish with this newer entry. While the concept is new for RCBS, it not new at all new to the shooting fraternity, (take a look at MEC Shot Shell, Hollywood, older Pacific presses, etc.). To me it appears to be more of a marketing project, rather than an engineering design improvement.
One claim is that it produces more accurate ammunition, I believe this could be debated heavily by any serious reloader. It does lack priming abilities, which would be somewhat of a negative to those interested in getting started in reloading. Ease of access?, actually no different than any common C press or Turret. I sometimes wonder how close they looked at the early Hollywood presses prior to working on this design. From my short experience with this press I find to be somewhat top heavy, meaning that the handle in the full upright position seems to be too long, requiring me to reach much higher than normal for a bench top press.
On the positive side, it is a well built unit, and does sizing operations with little effort (still far short of the old A2 which is still IMO their best ever heavy duty press). Being a bench top mounted press, it does make for less obstruction below the bench, this might not matter to some, but to me, I do like less obstruction.
I feel that maybe they didn’t quite hit a home run with this product and maybe should have focused on something more like a re-introduced A2, or a real H type press, both of which IMO would appeal more to the serious reloading fraternity.
One last thought, if you offer a single stage press that retails for over $280.00, it should include all the parts needed to make it a complete package, offering a shorter handle as an option for reloading shorter cases is being a little tacky, come on RCBS, you skipped the priming operation, throw in the handle?
^ This seems consistent with reviews I have read. Good quality at high price and nothing special to write home to mom about.
NO OVERHANG...all the force is downward...not trying to tip the bench over from overhang.

Those are the things I looked at before buying.

I got SN 0085, I like the press and I do have a 650 to mount it next to!
It will accept 1-¼" dies but don't try 50 bmg with it per RCBS! I have the LNL bushing in my RWB #24.
Take care

Your bench is built wrong if this is happening to you. Anchor it properly and you have no issues.
