- This is a complete review of the RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme Master Reloading Kit. . We will go over what is included in the kit and then use this kit to reload 10 rounds detailing the operation of the press and the performance of the Kit.
I just bought one of these. I've never done any reloading/handloading before, so I'm trying to learn as much as possible to make sure I do the best job possible. This video was tremendously informative to me. Presented well and simply and made it all very clear. Thank you so much for making it.
That is awesome congratulations! Welcome to the wonderful world of handloading. We have a lot of other videos on how to handload and working up loads for individual cartridges as well as running load developments on said cartridges. I am very glad you enjoyed the video and most importantly found it informative. Thank you for taking the time to watch. We are always happy to help fellow Handloaders and share good reliable information with others. --Jeremiah
Having gifted all my reloading equipment to my eldest son because of a medical issue, I said goodbye to my 25 year Rock Chucker kit. Things improved greatly and i purchased another Rock Chucker kit in 2017. Noted the bronze bushing for the ram had been done away with on my new one but the press performs like my old one. Also got an Inline Fabrication mount for it with their bin and die racks along with the case ejector. Great stuff all the way around.
Indeed they have made quite a few improvements over the last 25 years. All in all they are wonderful presses and they have put out some of the finest ammo all in all they are great presses and inline fab makes a fantastic product!
I just got myself one of these kits! Stoked I found a How-To video for it! Thank you!
That is awesome! Congratulations on getting into handloading! If you have any questions don't hesitate to leave a comment! I think you'll really enjoy the kit. Thanks for watching! --Jeremiah
Excellent walkthrough, Jeremiah! Thanks So Much from a first-time reloader!
Glad to see these videos. It's great to show guys that are on the fence about starting.
Thank you we plan on doing a lot more!
I believe there will be a good number of new or soon-to-be handloaders that check out these reviews as they try to decide on their first loading kit. I would like to reiterate, there is Nothing wrong with a balance beam scale. In fact there are a few advantages to using them. I myself prefer a balance beam scale and have models that are 40+ years old that still deliver remarkable accuracy.
Using a balance beam scale is not a step down compared to an electronic scale.
Our thinking exactly! Hopefully, this helps the new handloaders be more informed when it comes to pulling the trigger on a reloading kit. We do agree in full there is nothing wrong with a balance beam scale. In fact, they are usually more accurate than a lot of digital scales and they can last a lifetime or two. I suppose it's a matter of preference when it comes down to it. personally, I think they are a little easier to read and a little faster for newer handloaders. however, I still find myself using a balance beam all the time. We appreciate the feedback! Happy handloading!
When using a balance beam scale, I’ve found it’s nice to set it up on a higher level, as close to eye level as possible. I also clamp one of those full size magnifier sheets in front so I can see the scale better. After throwing the charge, I trickle up the last grain or so, and can get it consistent to a single kernel when necessary….
Indeed that is very helpful, Sometimes I will even use my phone's camera and place it in front of the balance beam scale to make it easier to read, I may not have too old of eyes yet but I find that it helps especially if I am trying to be accurate to a kernel or two. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! --Jeremiah
You were 10 only 10 yrs ago..... still just a lil feller. Thanks for sharing your videos
well I am young but not quite that young 10 years ago I would have been 15 years old, but I have been handloading since I was about 10 years old. I no doubt still have a lot to learn but that is half the fun. Thankfully I have had a lot of great folks mentor me and help me out over the years as I continue to learn. Thanks for watching and the kind words! --Jeremiah
Actually, the thing this kit does not include that it really needs to, is a brass trimmer.
Agreed!
Thank you for showing this, I recently bought one of these second hand at a pawn shop, and am currently working on a bench to put it on, any advice you could share with me? It's not exactly my first time reloading, but I'm still quite new
You are very welcome thank you for taking the time to watch and comment we really appreciate it!
Oh gosh there is so much advice I could give you... learn as much as you can early on it will save you a lot of headaches and mistakes in the future read a reloading manual or two and see what you can learn and pick up on and go from there. Be careful what you read/watch on the internet make sure it can be backed up by hard data or is a reputable source. Have fun with it, you can really go crazy chasing accuracy and precision and there is so much to learn so long as you are having fun doing it that is what it is all about for me. I thoroughly enjoy handloading and sharing what I know with others. And of course as always you can ask us questions here in the comments section! Thanks again for watching and best of luck in your reloading adventures! --Jeremiah
Why doesn't anyone make a demo film of the unpacking and
installation/setup + assembly of the RCBS Pro 2000, 5 station progressive press system?
Now that would be useful for us newbie’s. Cos the manual, at best messes with
your head trying to follow some of it
We would be happy to do a video on the unboxing and setup of the RCBS pro2000 progressive press, however we do not have one on hand at the moment. The feedback and suggestion are always welcome. Thanks for watching!
So the only thing I would need with this kit is a brass trimmer, calipers, dies, reloading components, and a way to clean fired brass correct? Do I need something to remove the previous primer as well?
The Brass trimmer would be a great addition to the kit although it may not be needed depending on brass length and cartridge your reloading for. In some cases you only have to trim after every few firings that being said we highly recommend getting a trimmer. Other than that yes you would need a good caliper, dies, brass, bullets and primers for your cartridge, you can wipe your brass down with a cloth and some cleaner until you get a way to easily clean your brass such as a dry or wet tumbler. you do not need a decapping/depriming die as the sizing die will remove the fired primer. However some people like to deprime before they clean there brass. This is entirely personal preference though. Thanks for watching and if you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask. I recommend following us on Instagram as well. We answer a lot of questions there as well.
@@HandloaderTV Thank you!
@@payne2086 No problem have a great day!
Will this work with 7.62x39, 9mm and .45 acp?
It will easily reload all of those cartridges and much more you would just have to purchase the appropriate dies for each cartridge. Thanks for watching and great question! --Jeremiah
@@HandloaderTV thanks bud. God bless.
@@justintyme4690 You are very welcome, anytime! God bless you as well! --Jeremiah
Watched a few of this series. Safety glasses when priming. Get the lube off the cases before heading to the range!
Safety glasses probably should have been used while priming, However the lube was removed before heading to the range.This was just to detail what the kit entails and shows you what it is like to reload using the kit. Hopefully you found it informative and useful. Thank you for watching we do appreciate it!
Will this kit reload .500 SW magnum, .50 AE and .44 magnum?
Indeed it will, All you need to purchase are the dies and components to do so such as primers, powder, brass and bullets and you would be ready to go. I would suggest checking out our Reloading 101 video which I will link to. ruclips.net/video/tQ6agaXw0tA/видео.html
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! --Jeremiah
@@HandloaderTV thank you so much, as far as the bullets go are there separate ones for 50AE and 500 magnum or are the bullets just .50 caliber and they work for both rounds? I really appreciate it I am trying to learn as much as I can
@@spaceace4387 you are very welcome it usually takes me a bit to reply these days just to the volume of comments we get but I do get around to it eventually. When it comes to 50 AE and 500 S&W Mag the bullet diameters are the same so for the most part bullets are interchangeable and will work for either application. No problem I am always happy to help! --Jeremiah
Could this be adapted to load 12 gauge shot shells?
I am not going to say it is impossible to load 12 Ga on an RCBS Rock Chucker however, I will say it is a lot of work, finding dies to be able to perform shotgun reloading would be very difficult as well as they are no longer in production. I think you would be much better off to get a dedicated Shotshell reloading press. Thank you for watching and for the question!
No
So the only thing I would need to buy to start is calipers ?
You would only need a caliper, dies (for the cartridge you are reloading) and the components (powder, primers, brass and bullets). All in all it's a great kit to start on and build off of. Thank you for watching!
Handloader TV thank you for replying. After leaving that comment and watching your video I came to the same realization about the dies and the shell holder. I am excited it’s a big investment. But going to be worth it. Have you ever cast your own bullets? That would be the biggest way to get my cost down per bullet
@@joshuahawkins8828 Once you get those you should be all set. It is a big investment especially when you factor in components. However it is certainly worth it especially for those that shoot a lot. I do cast my own bullets quite frequently for handgun and a little less than frequent for Rifle however I am familiar very with the process. I would love to do a video on how to cast your own bullets in the near future. Bullets are the most expensive component next to getting your equipment. I would highly suggest you follow us on Instagram (HandloaderMagazine) if possible we are always answering questions on there and it allows for a little better interaction with our followers/subscribers. Thanks for your comment and interest! -- Jeremiah.
Handloader TV oh ya I subscribed for sure. And yes please make a video on how to cast bullets. My business model is based on 9 mm and 223
@@joshuahawkins8828 Excellent we greatly appreciate that! I will add it to the list for sure I think there would be a great deal of interest on casting bullets. I would be happy to start working on putting together a video on how to do it properly and safely.
Хороший набор... Но в России стоит больших денег...😕😕😕(Good set... But in Russia, it costs a lot of money...)
indeed I can imagine the shipping just to get a kit like that there is expensive.
Get a 100 round tray and spray them instead ...
You certainly could do that however that was not what was included with the Kit. We wanted to showcase what it was like loading using only items included in the kit. Thank you for watching!
