I was reading the rundown on this Area 419 Zero Reloading Press in the August 2021 Handloader . After reading 3 pages of glowing praise ... I got to wondering ... just how much does this thing sell for ... flip to last page and wasn't quite ready ...
A brand new RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme is available at Midway , right now , for $209.99.
The Area 419 , you pay for it and it will be built and shipped in 3 months for ...$1,200.00.
Holey Manolie ... I don't think there was ever a time in my life when I could afford to buy a reloading press that expensive ! They sell other stuff ...$40.00 funnel ... I had to stop looking . This old boy just drives an old Chevy ... them prices was way out of my league .
If any of you buy one of these presses ... tell me how you like them and if they are worth $1,200.00 ... I'll never own one .
My best presses are a Pacific Super Deluxe and a Eagle Cobra 300 . I'm not going to count my two favorite a pair of Lee Hand Presses or my Lyman All American Turret .
