New single stage press

[30noslercam]

looking for a new single stage press to put in the garage. I load a max of 400 rounds a year for a 284 win and a 30 nosler. I'm looking at the rcbs rock chucker and rcbs summit. Anyone got any other recommendations around that price point.

Thanks

Both are reputable presses. I have a Rock Chucker and am happy with its performance.

Loaded many thousands of rounds from 308, 223, 45acp, 9mm, 10mm, 22 hornet. 30-30, 243, 30-06, 7mm WSM, 300 WSM, gees the list go's on and on all on my Rock Chucker and buddy press. One at a time each measured for every load. I started with my Dad at age 12 and am 75 now so the RCBS does the job.

That was very informative!
The RCBS RC faired very well which is good to know as I have one but I love that Summit press which sounds like it produces a very high standard on concentricity.

I Recently got a MEC Marksman Single Stage Press. It Doesn't have a Priming feature but has an awesome feel. You Should check it out.

I agree the MEC is a really good presss

The tie breaker to me, In favor of the RCBS Rock Chucker is its internal power from within its linkage. It does not require a big heavy table to allow no problem full length sizing of larger cases.

I have a RCBS Rock Chucker bolted to a 2"X6"X 16" wood base, I C Clamp the press to my kitchen table and FL size 270 Win, 308 Win., 300 WSM and 338 WM brass. With no problems.
My job took me away from my big reloading bench on the road.

I have a RCBS turret and Forster Co-ax I like them both I would say the Co-ax is nicer unit but that's reflected in its price.

+1 for mec marksman, if I didn't run a coax, that's what'd I'd have.
