    RCBS Grand

    LGS in Bath, NY has an RCBS Grand, priced at $350. I know they go for a lot more new.

    That’s a steal on a fantastic shotshell press. They can be hard to get, but they come with fantastic warranties.

    At that price I would buy it. The reports I heard early on is that plastic bits and pieces tended to break. Not sure if the newer ones or replacement parts have addressed the problems they had but others loved them. And if there are parts that tend to break, getting a few spares is not going to be expensive.

    My only concern would be that RCBS has never made a progressive that works well but this machine is still supported and the price is right.

    I bought mine right before the price of shot went thru the roof, so I've only loaded a few thousand rounds with it. But it hasn't given me any trouble, and loading with it is a breeze, and you can make a bucket of shells in no time at all. I haven't broken anything, but if I did I'm pretty sure the new part would be sent at no charge. RCBS and Dillon are the only two companies I still have respect for when it comes to customer service.

    So if you have a cheap source for shot then I'd buy it in a minute, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    I've wanted one of those for some time. But I'd need to stumble upon a bundle of shot for a great price to justify purchasing one.

    Midway has them on sale now for $638, and RCBS has a $175 rebate this month. So $463 plus shipping. Not too shabby.

    $350 is even better!

    I had decided that with shot prices, shot shell just wasn't worth it. Then about 7 years ago I was at the Gander Mountain in Ocala FL. They had a 20 gauge Grand marked $500, with a sign saying 50% of lowest marked price. So for $250 it was mine. Also picked up a 12 gauge conversion for $125.

    I shoot a lot of reclaimed shot to keep the price down. Works well for twenty three yards or less. Use premium shot for anything longer.
    The RCBS is a very underrated press. Uses a collet sizer and won’t drop powder/shot unless a Shell is in the station. Way more expensive press still don’t do that.
