What's missing from your reloading kit? - ruclips.net/video/bCNqymrIu_8/видео.html
I recently bought this kit on sale and with the $75 rebate, I only wish I had watched your video on small base vs full length sizing dies before I bought the FL dies for my .308..very helpful videos for a new reloader...thanks!
When money is tight, Kits are the way to go in my opinion. That's how I started. When I started, I was unable to buy all the equipment I have now. Dillon 750 with auto drive, automated AMP annealer, Giraud case trimmer, and other equipment. If I took the advice "Buy the best now", I'd might have gotten frustrated with my groups. Experience is just we thing we have to go through. I always recommend a kit when money is tight. Reloading keeps you out on the range, and Trigger Time is best practice
I own this kit and am very happy with it
I purchased this exact kit a couple of years ago and I agree with everything mentioned in the video. Everything in the kit is really good except the scale. This digital scale will make you hate digital scales. I'm sure many digital scales are great but this one is more trouble than it's worth. I went out and purchased the RCBS M500 balance scale and I couldn't be happier with it. It is accurate and repeatable. IMO, the only time a good digital scale has an advantage over a good balance beam is for unknown weights in which case you would have to fumble with the counter weights of a balance to manually find the weight. For known weights where you are throwing powder charges, the balance beam scale is your friend. No batteries or plug in required. No warm-up time. NO issues with light or wind. If you forget what charge weight you were throwing at a particular time, just look at where the counter weights are set. Simple and effective. I wish the kit would still come with the balance beam because it works well. I can't say the same about the cheap made in china digital scale that currently comes in the RCBS kits.
I prefer the Lyman brass smith kits myself. They come with a ton of useful stuff and are interchangeable with the three press options (for different prices of course)
This is the one that would get if I was starting to reload, been thinking of buying the press
I started with the RCBS Rockchucker Master Reloading Kit. I'm sure some of the components have been upgraded. Over the last 34 years, I've made upgrades by adding newer components, i.e power trimmer, digital scale, etc, etc. Litterally thousands of reloads later I am most pleased with RCBS products and would highly recommend them, but Honaday, Lyman, and all the others are quality products as well. I use components from all of them.
Perhaps the one fault in that kit is the scale. There is still a Rockchucker kit that has the beam scale avail, but people seem to think a digital is the end all and be all, and it probably keeps the price down. Not incl the powder baffle is silly, it is a required item for throwers of any make, I use the RCBS baffle in my Redding BR3. I saw one weird comment on the Rebel so far, a fella claimed it didn't have as much leverage as a Rockchucker, which I found a wee bit unbelievable. I see they have come out with an accessory kit now too, also worth looking at.
Hey man I love your videos and not trying to be a smartass, but I think you meant RCBS Rebel Master Reloading Kit. not RCBS Rebel Mater Reloading Kit. Great review
Its been a long time since your last video, is everything going well for you? i hope it is !
Lyman All-American 8 is probably the most complete kit imo.
New to reloading recently got the same kit. I agree the scale is awful. Do you have a recommendation for a scale?
Would you recommend the rebel over the rock chucker supreme when it comes to quality and accuracy of ammo for benchrest shooting?
I really couldn't comment on that. I would talk to folks that have the results you are looking for and see how they do it.
That's funny.
I hated my rcbs hand primer. I gave it away. I use the rcbs bench primer
No trimmer?
My handpriming Tool dosnt work...
I wish a kit like that was available back when I started reloading- using an old Lee Loader and a beam balance.
Lee kit was $100-125 back in the day and this kit is $450-500 and you can prime on the press with the Lee kit. $450 entry + dies + brass cleaner is a lot for a maybe hobby. Lee wouldn’t set you back and if you didn’t use it, only lose a small portion of your investment.
Absolutely nothing wrong with Lee products. My kit is mostly Lee and RCBS, with a couple Hornady dies. Stay safe.
My Lee Loader cost $20 brand new; it was the one that required a mallet, and neck sized only. I bought it in 1971.
@@maynardcarmer3148 Nice! Lee products and price point has brought a lot of otherwise vacant reloaders into the market.
@@maynardcarmer3148 My RCBS press is JR3, I think from 1973, still works great. Dies are ok. Wife bought me a Lee single stage press about 13 years back. Handy having 2. I still use my 5-0-5 beam scale (recalibrated about 8 years ago) but have an MTM small digital as backup.
Only problem it has a digital and not a manual scale.
Have a link to the reloading video you made?
I can't link it cause RUclips. If you go to midway its there.
@@BoltActionReloading I still don't see anything on their channel... Shame RUclips won't let you post the link.
I found his series by putting "bolt action reloading" int search window
Is the kit suitable for reloading shotgun shells?
No it is not for that
So this press will not do 45-70?
I wouldn't think you would have and issue. I think you could do 338 LAP if you wanted. I haven't got there yet.
Tallest opening of any rcbs single stage press
So 45 70 easy
Your title has a spelling error btw. 'Rebel Master'
Thanks!
@@BoltActionReloading been watching your videos for a long time. I really want to get my hand on top grade ammo but cannot find it anywhere. Do you have any resources?
you do not need half of this stuff to reload
