Just got a single stage lee for Christmas in no small part because of this channel, it just looked like so much fun I had to get into it!
Just bought this press. Well actually, I bought the PC5 for 400 and the conversion kit for 268 dollars. Everything went smoothly. However, the PC5 came with the updated primer transfer bars but the PC7 kit was packed with the old ones.
I contacted RCBS and they are sending me the new primer transfer bars and an extra endexing arm.
For now, I’ll prime my brass on the old trusty Hornady.
Finally, I have to say, Once you go 7 it’s going to be hard to go back.
All your films are very, very good. Started 3 monts ago with self charging, have a one station rcbs, thinking over this awsome rcbs 7.
Greatings from Vienna, Austria, where the famous Glock was founded.
Great video and great setup
Think I am liking that pro 7. Your close up of the powder cop gave me an idea. You obviously saw the one lower powder throw and kept on going since it was w/i visual range of acceptance for you in regards to where you are at in the start to max range. I will make some practice throws and purposely range the grain thrown to see where the variances are on my cop visually w/ each powder type for awhile until I get a handle on my range of acceptance. Looked around but didn't find a vid by you on the Lyman "M" die. Some day if you htink of it and have time for it, would like to see/hear your thoughts. Thanks for the vid. Nice reloaidng job as usual.
Yes sir! This from my eye is the format or sequence that works fantastic for you! Great vid! I like the reloading first then explaining second it works. I have to say I was looking more at the Chevy truck in the background though lol! love that old iron! Love your vids I've been watching them for a couple years now.
Great Video been looking towards reloading again..........Been some time. The RCBS PRO CHUCKER 7 is what I'm learning towards.
I love that old Chevy you got at the outpost.
looks like the tool head moves quite a bit during the top stroke. Got to believe this would lead to big tolerance swings in your ammo. May be fine for loose chambered pistol rounds, but for tighter chambered performance barrels, would think there may be a higher failure rate in ammo reliability.
wow great point!! That's alot of movement
+dvatp Hey guys- I run these presses with the set screws slightly lose on purpose. I personally like some "float" between the dies and the shellplate as it enhances die/cartridge alignment. That's one of the positive virtues of the Hornady Lock-N-Load bushing system (inherent float). I have a friend that runs his Dillon RL550-b with only one toolhead pin for the same reason. I haven't yet checked consistency in COL (on ogive) but that will be a good "measure" of the precision. The important thing is that you have a consistent and positive "hard stop" for the toolhead which the Pro Chucker design does have. More data to come!
I know this is old. But I seen the same thing.. I'm thinking maybe good for auto pistol rounds but no way for any type of rifle rounds.
Happy New Year, like the setup, especially the Frankenlöder feed die!
Keep showing and teaching! Learning alot!
Are you kidding me! That rocks! Great video
Awesome setup, Happy New Year!
+vborg001 Happy New Year to you as well! Hope you are shooting and loading :)
gavintoobe just a newbie here but any concerns about the die plate wobble?
Good video. I love the 9mm. I wish I had your setup to crank them out faster!
I appreciate your reloading videos, especially on the RCBS Pro Chucker 7 since there are so very few videos on this press - and most reviews are are very dated. From your experiences, has the PC7 primer slider issue been resolved by RCBS? I know that many reloaders would like to consider the Pro Chucker 7, but they have reliability concerns as do I. Your honest, candid feedback would be appreciated by the reloading community. Again, many thanks for the quality equipment and reloading videos you produce - they are among the best on the Internet.
I'm totally not blown away. Considering the Time RCBS had to study the progressive presses there already where on the market some Details are not as cool as the could be. But good Video, nontheless!
I think it has some of the nicest features of all of what's out there, but still some of the handicaps. Odd as it sounds, I think Lee got more of the small details right with theirs. i.e. retainers that can't fail, and don't need replaced with a different size for caliber swaps. This one primes on the down stroke which is right, and has enough stations to break out seating and crimping without losing place for a feeder or a lockout die. That's the real draw. IIRC it lacks automatic primer pocket swaging which the 1050 can do, but that has the same priming on the upstroke issue that Lee has.
I like what your doing on the channel
Good video on the press
Which station is priming the case? I missed that bit and also don't see the primer sleeve? I'm guessing it has to be before 3 as you're adding powder? But 1 is de-prime and 2 is resize?
Thanks for putting some crap on your bench..... I am less disturbed about the state of "too Cleanliness" that was there before...
Keep makin ammo...
Where is the priming station? 1 is size and deprime, 2 is case mouth bell, 3 is powder charge?
Hello I bought the same press as you and I have a blocking problem with the powder dosing machine (Powder Vihtavuori N340). What powder do you use? Thank you
I want to get started reloading, not sure where to start any suggestions? I mainly want to load 9mm, 45, 300blk , 556, .308. Thanks
Seven stations an no priming ?
Hi Gavin, in the past you've mentioned that you have a couple of Hornady Lock and Load that you keep setup. At the pro chucker 7 been released at the same time as the the Hornady do you think you would have chosen the RCBS for the horn Hornady? Thanks.
Happy New Year Gavin! Just wondering of you found that your Glock was hard on the brass. My 10mm Glock has always chewed up the brass a bit where the extractor grabbed it. It leaves a ding on the rim that mades it just about impossible to get into the shell holder without extensive fiddling.
what would be the best way to set up a pro chucker 5 for 9mm? i have rcbs 3 die set and double alpha powder checker. should i upgrade to 7 station? i would like to use a mr bullet feeder and possibly a case feeder.
Anyone know where I can buy a large primer plug for the chucker 7. I live in the UK so parts here are impossible. I bought the rcbs 7 stage here in the UK and when assembling I found it had 2 small primer plugs instead of a small and a large. Tried to buy a large from rcbs in America but they sent me the wrong part. What I need is the hollowed out bolt with spring and large primer punch. I'm willing to pay a hundred pounds for one of these as rcbs don't have a clue what they're doing.
Why is there so much movement in the tool head when you are cycling the press?
i prefer the rcbs lockout die to the powder cop.
Hey there, Nice video as always! If you really want to see how your 9mm ammo are doing why not shoot it in a ransom rest, that would be interesting to see. Thanks!
Where did you get the bullet feeder die
When do you lube and tumble the casings?
What are your thoughts on after market die plates for this press such as the one UniqueTek makes for it?
Also, have you seen the new case dispenser for this press made by RCBS and if so, what do you think about it?
Please explain each of the 7 dies, im lost on why i would want to separate a few features needing more equipment to get the same result.... such as de capping and sizing as with my lee pro.....truly looking for info and reasoning..
You still decap/size on the same die/station but having more stations lets you use a powder check die, bullet feeder, factory crimp die etc.
Can you sell any of your presses I'm looking for a dillon 1050 or 1100 for .223
Is this a good beginners reloader? and where do you purchase your reloading machines?
thanks and happy new year
How did you get the Lee factory crimp die to sit low enough without messing up the case ejector clip on station 7???
How smooth is the indexing? I can't see through your hands - they keep getting in the way & I can't see the action. My Hornady AP will index hard enough to flick a bit of powder out of 9mm cases.
Same question as mike Ruffo: Are there any updates on the pro-chuckers? Or did you give up on them? I like the idea of 7 stations to allow the maximum amount of versatility but still the negative reviews around the internet worry me.
I've featured the Pro Chucker 7 in several videos recently, see the 224 Valkyrie series: ruclips.net/p/PLApPU7t86M4svpsuV0n7BphlTTOJHD1BG
Not sure, but I believe this model is on hold, numerous primer feed problems, etc. It has been out for a year and I cannot find hardly any detailed reviews and it seems to be back-ordered indefinitely. Tried to get some info from RCBS and got nowhere. Love the idea of 7 stations but seems the bugs need to be addressed before it returns to the market. Plus, changing calibers is really expensive as you have to buy a new powder dispenser with each plate.
I ordered a Pro Chucker 7 when it first came out on the market and it had several bugs to fix. The first problem I had was the ejector wire which was inconsistent with ejecting my .45acp brass which would then lead to problem #2, which was the indexing arm. The indexing arm would break and I would have to order another one which would take a couple of weeks before I could reload again. Finally the 3rd bug was the plastic primer sliding shuttle bars would easily break if a primer would get hung up. RCBS should have kept the APS system. This ruined my trust for RCBS products.
@@ouruiz LOL! Sounds just like a Lee Load Master. Can't do 100rnds without something jamming. Everything must be perfect, then 9's will fly.
Are there any updates on the pro-chuckers? Or did you give up on them?
Good vid
Thanks!
Buddy, you need to holster that steel when yer talkin to me.
Nothing beats thos LE FACTORY CRIMP DIES. I don’t understand why I never see anyone else using a factory crimp die from another company. Why is that?
They are great, agreed!
Not the answer I was looking for but I know your busy answering a million other questions. Lol
At half the cost of a Big blue machine how does it stack up Gavin?
why use the hornady powder cop over the RCBS lockout die?
What is the best progressive press that you have used? looking into buying one please let me know
How do you grease all of the parts of the Pro Chucker?
Hi Gavin, can you do a video on how you made the your press mounting rail system thats on your bench? And if you didn't make it, where did you buy it?
I think there is one, look back at some older videos, pretty sure I remember seeing it.
+Chipperowski , MSUbulldog21 is correct. Gavin has a few videos about his bench. You'll find them and they're worth watching several times to refresh the memory.
Nice
Great video! What are your thoughts on a casefeeder for this setup?
I have one, and haven't tried it yet, getting geared up to do a video on it! (The standard Pro-Chucker case feed setup from RCBS).
Sounds good, I'm looking forward to it.
Is precision rifle reloading is compromised by the shellplate flex?
Thnx
They key is sizing off press for precision rifle cartridge reloading. When I do that I can get an SD on COL variation of 0.001" or so...
What I don’t understand is why you can buy the shell plate for the PC5 without having to buy the powder measure for about 35 dollars but you can’t buy the shell plate without also having to buy the powder measure for for the PC7 for 268 dollars minimum.
That is rediculous and product suicide.
is an older stripped chucker worth $70?
Total cost of the set up?
See Midsouth Shooters Supply
Nice video, thank you. Question: is the length of the cartridges (COL) regular? Sometimes, on some progressive presses, the length of the cartridges varies a lot, and this is not good for the pressure when shooting.
Also, why is there so much movement in the tool head when you are cycling the press?
Does this affect the accuracy of the LOC?
Thanks for your answer.
Buddy whata the difference between a 5 and 7 is it the number of stations?
Yes, essentially.
Hi Gavin, quick question. I see that you are using station 7 with the Lee factory crimp die. I am trying the same thing but having a heck of a time with the ejection of the round after it's crimped. Any tips or tricks on how you set the case eject spring? any ideas would be much appreciated. Great video!
I have the little ejector leg right at the back of the case, and use it as my gage for how low I can screw in the factory crimp die. Basically the plug is bottomed out in the die and it spaced just slightly off the ejector leg. Works great.
I've got a couple questions about the Pro Chucker:
1. Can this reloader load old shells, meaning remove old primers & size up the old shell?
2. I'm assuming this reloader can load rifle shells, like 22-250, 204 Ruger, 30-06, 270 shells?
Yes, and yes!
@@Ultimatereloader Thanks buddy!!!
why would you put that pistol under your arm without proving it empty. and its not by the way
