RCBS Kits?

[beezy619]

I'm looking to buy reloading equipment and from the reading on this forum, a lot of people suggest the RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme Kit:

http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=cat20728_feat-cat602564-cat20847&id=0018937214924a&navCount=7&podId=0018937&parentId=cat20847&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=IJ&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat20847&hasJS=true

But then, I found this kit on Cabelas website:

http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0031379215728a&type=product&cmCat=Search_Results_NYR&returnPage=search-results2.jsp&No=18&Ne=2510&Ntt=rcbs&noImage=0&QueryText=rcbs&Ntk=Products&Ntx=matchall&trueNum=83&N=3729

Do you think the second kit is worth it or should I just stick to the basic Rock Chucker Kit? Thanks in advance.

Get the 2nd kit if you can afford it! It makes life SO MUCH better...... HEAVEN and EARTH difference..... just cuz the ChargeMaster auto dispenser and digital scale makes reloading so much more enjoyable!!

Also, get the Hornady L'N'L bushings, they make changing dies quick and accurate!! (you would have to do that A LOT cuz you are using a single stage press - RCBS RC) http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpag...110&t=11082005

Now.... this kit is for "accurate" handloads..... if you want to produce "massive" amount of "accuracy not the most important" arounds.... you should look into getting a Dillon Progressive setup like the RL550B.

Personally, I use my Dillon RL550B setup for my IDPA/IPSC 9mm rounds, and .223 3-guns plinking rounds. And I use my RCBS RC2 single stage for my .308 longe range match rounds and my accuracy .223 match rounds.

Thanks for the info Jicko. I don't shoot as much, so I think the RCBS would suite me. With the prices of ammo going up, I figured I would save a little reloading my own ammo. Now, I just gotta convince the wife the second kit is better. . . .wish me luck.
