I've dealt with McAvoy's on several occasions & they carry a fair range of RCBS stuff.

Their prices are as good as it gets in the UK & there's always someone who knows their stuff available to talk to.

Kits can be very good indeed - RCBS Rockchucker Supreme Master Reloading Kit (what a bleedin' mouthful....) being a case in point.

I bought RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme Press and definitely it is one of the best reloading press on the market . I found great reviews about it on the net and ordered on amazon . It is worth for every penny .

It is indeed a very nice (and very heavy) press, I only bought one so I could use the In-Line Fabrication auto case ejection system to make my life easier when sizing lots of cases :)

Not as expensive as it sounds as it was on offer at Midway USA at the time for just over £90 :D

In fact it's back on offer at £100 for anyone going over to the USA :)

Lee Breech Lock (pref. the cast version) will do everything most reloaders need a lot cheaper :)

When I started ,money was tight so all I bought was Lee stuff. On ebay in the olden days including ebay in US. Have not regretted it.

I also have a Lee Classic Turret that was supposed to be a temporary press...until I could afford 'better'...I still use it every time I reload & that 'better press is still in the shop. I did remove the index bar though as I prefer to move the turret myself. I don't think Lee presses are inferior in any way to more expensive ones. Just my take on it of course..
cheers

I can't remember when the Lee turret press first came out---late 70s or early '80s I think. Anyway, I bought one then. It has loaded tens of thousands of rounds without a problem of any sort until last week. The little plastic ratchet that turns the turret wore out. Fortunately, it was supplied with a spare which I had kept safely. The question now is: how long will the replacement last? Will it see me out? (I am 75).
I also have single station presses, a Lee and a RCBS. These tend to be used for decapping and case forming.

Fred, is it the small plastic square?

If it is PM me your address and I'll send you another spare one as I have one or two sitting in my Lee spares box :)

No its round! The square one is for the four hole press which wasn't even a gleam in Mr Lee's eye when mine was made,

I started out with the RCBS Rockchucker Master kit some 25 years ago now... a very good press that I still use for all of my single work to this day. I do have a Piggyback, but now have two progressives alongside the RCBS that negate the former.

Dauntseys Guns will match or better on price.
