    RCBS Auto 4x4 press.

    I picked up one of these a number of years ago at a local show and have been quite happy with it.

    Researching it on the web, I don't find much information on it. Was this a popular press in it's day?

    Have ya checked the RCBS site?

    You can download the manuals, at least for current production presses.

    I have the manuals. Will put up photo tomorrow.

    It’s a great press, just surprised that it never seemed too popular.

    It's popularity would depend on a few things.
    What was its price & advantages compared to the competition, and maybe even the general health of the economy.

    Also, if it was on the market long enough for word to get out about how good it was
    before a 'new and improved' model came out.

    Holds 4 stationary dies. Shell plate rotates automajically. Nice solid press.

    So it is essentially a Green Dillon 650? And that would be the best reason why it was not that popular. It's not a Dillon 650!
