I got the RCBS Rockchucker press. Does it come with the primer arm or do I have to purchase that separately? Wondering if I lost it.

I was going to get the Redding 3 die neck sizer. Do I have to do one die at a time and change it out each time or can I buy some type of holder that will hold three or four dies and rotate it? I can't remember, am I supposed to buy bushing too? Do the Competition versions need the bushings?

I have the RCBS Supreme Master Reloading Kit. It didn't come with the primer arm, but the hand priming tool was included. It's a lot easier and faster to use, and you don't have to sit at your reloading bench to prime cases.

=====================
After spending a few hours with you yesterday, I now understand what your intentions are. Please wait for a pm regarding your entire strategy.

Just in case so I don't cause confusion. I watched some videos on the Dillion caliber conversion kit. It's not bad to swap out those parts so I think I'll go that route. Probably about 5 minutes. It's the small to large primer plate and all the tubes that's a pain so staying with an all small primer setup on one press is the way to go. Buying another XL 650 for large primers would save a lot of hassle.

The Dillion XL 650 will be reloading 9mm, 38/357, and 223.
The RCBS Rockchucker will be reloading .308 and .338.

Sometime in the future I will buy another XL 650 and reload .45 ACP, 50 AE, and .500.

I sent a pm.
re: another 650...I can't see running a 650 for 50AE and 500 pistol cartridges unless you are going into business.

I know exactly what you mean. However I'm trying to justify a reason to reload .45 acp without doing all the caliber swapping. I dont want to just do .45 on another press. I figure why not just add on the 50 and 500 calibers for a couple hundred dollars? Plus I think I can save about $1 per bullet for those type of rounds.

Does this make more sense? Only reload with on the 650 - 9mm and .223. The Rockchucker load 50ae, 500, 308, and 338. Just have to deal with swapping out the dies. Would it make more sense to go with a turret press to replace the rockchucker since the dies are 3-set dies?

I think you might be happy with getting rid of the Rock Chucker and get a Dillon 550. Set it up as a single press for 338 Lapua with magnum powder measure and small amount reload rounds. I still use a scale for every magnum round. Currently, I have 2 650 and a 550. My setup is 650 for prep 9, 223, with GS Custom small primer pocket swager. I do by the hundreds and after all is done. I take out the swager and start reloading. I like to inspect and hand prime each round when I'm not busy. Takes time but I enjoy doing it. Too many time, when I mass prime, I smash the primer mainly 45acp. Get a Giraud case trimmer first before another 650, that will be your best investment.

In the event that you do use a progressive exclusively, keep the rockchucker. Years ago I toyed with the idea of getting rid of my rock chucker after using my Dillion. A press like the rc can be used for case forming and other duties that a progressive is not well suited for.   

Single stage is great for working up loads.

I have both a turret press and an old RCBS single stage press. I use the single stage to load all my rifle cartridges. There is less play in my single stage compared to my turret press. I use the turret press to crank out all my pistol cartridges. I am not as concerned with the consistency of my pistol cartridges as I am with my rifle cartridges. With that said I get excellent consistent results with my turret press. As consistent as a pistol cartridge can get.

Also, I use the single stage for other uses such as swaging primer pockets and bullet removal.

The whole point of reloading is to make precision ammo, not to save a $1. A single stage press is the most accurate way of reloading ammo since there is no shell plate that can move or tilt up/down while the loading operation is taking place. Hence, most precision bench rest shooters load on a single stage press. This is a tedious means of loading ammo if you are reloading pistol ammo and not using a scoped pistol where you won't realize those gains of spending all that extra time on a single stage press. This is why pistol shooters generally reload on a progressive press.

Use the Hornady lock n load conversion kit to make quick die changes in a single stage press.
