Is the Rock Chucker Supreme as good as the old ones?

[1$Chuck]

I'm looking for another single stage press. I've got an old rock chucker and ideally, would just like another one of those. I've been watching Ebay, and they all bring $80-$90 +shipping so I really hate to spend that when I could just buy a new one for a little more. I've heard some comments that the supreme isn't as good as the old presses. Is this the reason the old ones bring good money? I'd really only like comments from people who've used both the old and new.

look at the forster co-ax. Its by far the best press I have used

I learned to reload on a neighbors old Rock Chucker and then bought my own new one. In my opinion the new Rock Chucker is just as good, if not better than the old one. There are also a few accessories that will fit it.

My rock Chucker has never let me down in the 2 years that I've had it.

My RC Supreme has never let me down, although it does seem that my Old-school Rock Chucker is a bit smoother. My RC supreme seems to want to "bind" if you put the slightest sideways pressure on the handle. The old Rock Chucker doesn't.

What web 50 said , the co ax press need only one shell holder, it has large and small built in .

I have been using the same Rockchucker for over 45 years. It has reloaded thousands and thousands of rounds. It still works good as new. There is not a bit of play or sloppyness in it.

Love my RC. Only had it about a year, but loaded thousands with it. The action is smooth and strong.

I'm sure those are nice, but for what those sell for, I can buy two Rock Chuckers and two shell holders. I'm looking for good quality and reducing my setups, not world class precision.

As I mentioned in my PM, Rockchuckers haven't changed much in 20 years. But when you buy a used one, you never know what kind of use it has had. You could prop up a car with one of these things. Having said that, personally, I'll spend the extra $30 and get a new one over a bargain on Gunbroker.
