Wanted - Reloading Press or advice.

[Blktail]

I am looking for a reloading press for my 30.06 and 44-40.
I have the dies, but borrowing a press is a pain. Which brands do you recommend, and which are adequate and cost effective?
Thanks.

I use an RCBS Rockchucker and it more than does what I need it too. I know that they're more expensive than some of the others. A few friends of mine use Lee presses and haven't had any issues. It's just whatever you want to spend, and how much use it'll get.

I'll second the RCBS press, probably the best buck for the money.

I have a Lyman that I picked up used, it works great, but its not as strong as some of the others.

We broke the handle on it, and had thought of getting a dillion.

I use a Rock Chucker for everything from 223 to 338RUM in rifle and 40 S&W and 44 Mag in pistol. I've no complaints and is easy to use as a base to build your reloading set up.

The Rock Chucker is hard to beat, but any press that is as heavily made as the Rock Chucker will do as well. The main thing is to get a good heavy press. Do not but anything that`s made by Lee if your going to do much reloading, it`s not heavy enough and wont hold up, especially under heavy use.

I have to definately agree on the rockchucker. It is super solid, smooth action. You can tell it is built to last a lon time. I have also found that the lever action on it seems more centered than some others. I got a rockchucker supreme at http://www.huntersdiscount.com/pressesandkits1.html
Best price I had found on it.

I found a Lee Turret press locally for a steal. I am sure it will suffice until I decide if reloading is for me. I will keep a lookout for a Rockchucker at garage sales etc.

Thanks.
