If anything needs replacing contact RCBS and it will soon be on the way-most often at no charge.

Haven't seen one of those old RCBS progressive presses in years. They were really super presses and way out of my price range back then. Great find, enjoy it and good luck with it!

...really nice setup... I have and use an old RCBS Rock Chucker, it works as good today as it did when it was new.... I added a primer feed to it... and yes, I am a dinosaur...

From another dinosaur, and this will be a bit hard to believe, but in right at 66 years of constant use, my old Rockchucker finally had way too much tolerance, and was giving .006" slop on my precision rifle rounds. My dad and I used it for ten years before it became "mine".

I finally retired the old girl and got a Redding Ultra Mag single stage press. No better than my old rig, just a brand I use their dies for those precision rifle rounds. I won't live long enough to ever wear this new baby out, she's purty dang skookum.

I probably could have sent to them, and they most likely would have replaced it. They have some of the best CS I ever experienced. High marks to RCBS.

I do some precision loading but it is with the Holy Black Powder not that heathen smokeless powder that will never catch on.... I use a 30" drop for the Holy Black... ...load .45-90, .38-55 precision long range rifle loads with the long drop... all other calibers get a normal drop from the Black Powder loader....
