RCBS A2 compared to Rock Chucker

[Rifleman]

How does the A2 compare to the Rock Chucker for case clearance ? I am looking for something with more room than the Rock Chucker.

Also what is the difference between the A2 and the 2A ?

What is the difference between 2A and A2? Well they are reversed.

Try the new, improved, Rock Chucker. They,ve increased the clearance. Maybe they shoud have renamed it the Chuck Rocker.

Look at the Lee cast press its bigger. Also its made in the U.S.A not cast in china like the rcbs.[smilie=1:

I have a A4, Anyone tell me more about it. Thanks- Joe

The RCBS A2 is a tad larger than the Rockchucker, but either have plenty of room to load the long magnums, and neither is tall enough for the 50 BMG.

There is a huge difference between the A2 and the RC, but it is not size. The difference is material. The A2 is made from cast STEEL and the RC is made from cast IRON. The A2 is much, miuch stronger than the RC and has a service life just short of eternal.

A2 = Peterbuilt tractor

RC = F-250 pickup (That makes it more than enough press for common uses)

Joe,

The A-4 is the larger and much heavier duty brother to the A-2. RCBS also at one time made an A-3.

I bought a NIB A-4 for $150 off of an online auction back about 5 years ago. The best money I ever spent. It uses a universal shellholder, 3 fingers grab the case and adjust to any size case up to the Weatherby cases. I have never had it rip the rim off of a case. There is also an adapter to use regular shellholders. If you can find an A-4 for a reasonable cost, buy it.

I use my Lee Classic Cast to resize my buddy's .50 caliber. Not sure why anyone would need anything any bigger.
