I was thinking about a press for 300 Win Mag and this sounds like a perfect press. I have a bad feeling that I am going to have too many presses very soon.

Anyone know if the Dillon 1200 case trimmer will fit on the Summit?
Ah, just looked at a video -- no way the Dillon trimmer will work on it, too bad.

So I couldn't resist any longer. Cabelas dropped the price and with rebates, coupons, etc, I got out the door on a RWB version for under $170. Now I have to wait for the brown truck...

That's sound like a bargain
In the little bit I've used my Summit (RWB #87) I have quickly found that it's not a good primary press. An RCBS bullet puller won't work in it nor will any accessory that has a handle that rotates at the top. I still like it, though. I'm kind of easing into full production with it because I want to be able to switch LnL equipped dies between it and the RC; just have had other things to do but it won't be much longer before the adjustment is machined.

I noticed that RCBS has released fittings to turn this press into an arbor press.

Scroll down.
My press was machined from Unicorn horn. It is magical and loads everything I need to single stage load. It's so smooth and amazing.
I bought one. I really need to try it with my Wilson dies.Originally Posted by VHoward

Sweet. I get to decrease the unicorn population and load great ammo. Win-win.

Mine was cast from pixy dust and does the loading for me
Hmmm. Careful, someone may question the "manliness" of the Summit; Unicorns and Pixie dust?

I bought a red, white and blue Summit (number 0209)at Green Top in Richmond a couple of weeks ago. After playing with a mounted display model for a good bit, I found it impossible to resist in spite of several less than favorable comments on this site. Several things about it appealed to me even though I certainly didn't need it-I have thirteen other presses. I mounted it on an RCBS base plate I had handy-found the linkage to be adjusted correctly, and the ram properly lubricated. I did tighten the screws that ride in the groove on the rear of the ram. I loaded some 222's with Federal match brass and Berger bullets. I used Redding S sizer and Competition dies and the short handle. Checked runout using a Sinclair tool-much to my surprise I found it quite similar to those loaded on my Co-Ax using same lot of cases and same dies. I have no complaints and will be using it a good bit.
Just got an email from midway. Red, white and blue Summits are on sale for $189.
RWB 0329 arrived last night, and I got it bolted down today to do a quick test. Everything on it is right and tight. I put the handle on the left side, which leaves my right hand free to move cases. It also gives my overused right arm (Dillon 550 workout) a break. It feels somewhat like running a Co-ax, except that there is a lot of space around the shell holder.
I really didn't need it, but I'm glad I bought it. I don't think it will completely oust my Co-ax, but it's the first press that's been a threat to it.

Yeah, Buddy! Congrats.
