I am just getting into casting and reloading (thank you S&W 500). I know the rcbs is not as good as a star but with funds being tight its seems like a good option. I have an opportunity to get one at a scary price, so cheap I could sell it used at a profit. I have used the search feature, and it looks like the RCBS is a good unit with the occasional issues.
1. Will the RCBS size and lube the 500? I have seen punches for it, so I'm assuming it will. Will the Star size 500?
2. Should I buy the RCBS and use it while i save the difference. Then sell the rcbs to fund the Star? Orth oils I just pan lube till I can afford the Star?Like I said I can get the RCBS so cheap I can sell it at a good price and still make a profit.
Any opinions are appreciated.
