    RCBS Turret Reloading Press Priming System

    Hi:
    I am looking at a used one and would like to know how well the priming system works.

    Thanks,
    Terrytm

    Evening Terry, I had one I sold after only a year of use, the turret is sloppy, so was priming. Get a hand priming tool and take on the press priming out of the equation. One friend has a Lyman tmag, one friend has a Redding, they are both a fine turret press. I’m not a fan of the RCBS as you can tell, I now have a Hollywood.

    The priming system is not good but the press is good I have not had the problems described above. It is a better made press than Lee or Lyman.

    I have the RCBS turret and it works great. Mine stays setup for small primers and the priming is pretty much flawless. You just need to get it adjusted right for the primer size and keep the track likely lubed so it doesn’t bind. I have one of the primer catchers from a gentleman that 3D prints them and it’s flawless. The small amount of clearance ‘slop’ people talk about is inconsequential and has not affected the quality of ammo.
