Single stage presses take a lot of time and patience. RCBS makes a great product though. Kudos for taking that first step into reloading!

IMO... no matter what brand or type press you have, single or progrerssive or turret you still need to have a Rock Chucker too.
 
How many rocks could a Rock Chucker chuck if a Rock Chucker could chuck rocks?  :rolleyes:

I have been watching a lot of videos on reloading, and most everyone has a Rock Chucker setup doing something.

Oh for sure. It is much faster when first working up a load, die adjustments, etc.

A lot of people say they're best for small experimental batches. If you had 5 on a bench, you could do 100 each station in a reasonable amount of time. LOL!

Five for the family. Junior does the resize, Sister seats the primer, Mom drops the powder, Dad seats the bullet and Baby puts them in the box. Crunch out around a 100/hr!

I envision it more like the drum kit of Neil Peart of Rush.

 :laugh:  thats funny! I'll try to keep that advice in mind. Sounds like really good advice. But the money trail ran out setting up what I have and this forum, so it may have to wait a bit.
