Just wanted to give a Shout out to RCBS?s Rockchucker?s durability and over all quality. It may be slow, but gosh, this press has, and continues to be amazing

Yes indeed Ken!  The Rock Chucker press is very strong and the compound leverage really helps with the heavy operations like sizing and case forming. 
If I had to start over I'd start with the RCBS Rebel kit.

I started with the RCBS Jr. but it lacked the compound leverage to make sizing long bottle neck cartridges easy.  Later I managed to get the RCBS Big Max a very robust heavy duty press and it made things much easier for the tough operations.  I still like the "feel appeal" of the RCBS Jr. press for seating and crimping operations!

Thanks Wade, Like I said, it?s a bad a** press 😊

I've been using mine for 40+ years, loading for pistol and rifle and converting brass to other calibers brass.  If I had a dollar for every pull of that handle I would be a millionaire.

I am not sure you can break or wear one out with normal use.

I have horribly abused mine and never managed to damage it.  While I think Lee makes fine presses, especially for the money, and I have several of them, I am so glad that they were out of stock when I bought my first press.  I never would have known what I was missing.
