[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1636855, member: 93138"] My Rockchucker from the mid 60's has that bushing. AFAIK they all do. Mine also came to me with every primer box flap it had ever loaded. Over 50,000 .357/.38's alone! Can't tell to look at or operate it. I think that a key consideration is to buy a steel or iron frame in one of these big presses. My prior Pacific press was an aluminum frame and I could see it springing under the load of FL sizing .30-06 cases. I bought a kit when I first started reloading, it served me well however the only piece of that kit that I still have is the Pacific .30-06 die set and the balance beam scale. So the above comments about kits held true for me. I've been looking at buying this: [URL]http://harrellsprec.com/index.php/products/compact-reloading-press[/URL] for taking to the range on load development days. If I didn't have the RC I'd be buying it for home use too. Be careful with electronic scales in rooms with no temperature/climate control. A friend had some large variations in charge due to an RCBS electronic scale varying with the temperature in his garage. No idea if it was that particular scale, or is indicative of all such scales in that situation. So just be careful until you know how it will behave. [/QUOTE]
