[QUOTE="Pointman, post: 1739562, member: 102254"] Not a real fan of the kit concept. It does get a new loader most of what he/she really needs. I had n RCBS JR in the early ‘70’s and it served me well with my old 30-06. I had a custom varmint rifle built in25-06 and since there wasn’t a lot of 25-06 ammo let alone brass available, I had to use an RBCS trim die to neck down old military surplus 06 brass. The JR press just wasn’t cutting it, so I sold it and got my Rock Chucker in late ’71. I still use it but did splurge on a M.E.C. metallic press with a floating shell holder for seating. My concentricity tool is rarely needed to “tweak” a round. I do like my Chargemaster. I still use my “old” Lyman scale (still has the price tag $11.95) to double check the occasional load. Except for the presses, I put my scales and powder measures back into their boxes and store them in tubs on furniture dollies under the bench. Keeps them and the bench cleaner. I prime with a hand tool, better feel and don’t have the issue of the press primer throwing the primer on the floor. [/QUOTE]
