Difference between RCBS reloader special 5 and rockchucker?
« on: February 08, 2010, 12:44:32 PM »
Anyone used both the RCBS reloader special 5 and rockchucker presses. I don't see a lot of difference. I used to have a rockchucker, about 20 years ago, remember it was a good press. I have a Lee alum. press and like it, but may buy a heavy duty press, and use the Lee for priming. Thanks, Don

rock chucker is cast and larger opening
rs5 is aluminum and has smaller opening,
mine gets a little tight to get long bullets in mag
brass and even 150's in 270win
