I found a person who is selling everything I need to start reloading plus a lot of extra for 450. Most of it is rcbs stuff and I was wondering if this is good quality stuff not looking for the best of everything just a starter kit. I saw some post on here about their customer service, which Is a plus, but I am more interested in the quality of their equipment. Can anyone provide some insight

Thanks
Josh

RCBS = some of the best you can buy.

The thing with RCBS reloading supplies, they have a lifetime warranty. If something breaks, call them up, get an RMA, and send it back.

I have not reloaded in years, but when I got started I bought a bunch of RCBS stuff from a guy I worked with. About 2 years later the 9mm resizer die started sticking. I called RCBS up, told them what was going on, and they sent me a brand new 9mm resizer die before I sent them the old die back.

With service like that, I see no reason to buy anything else.

Yep, hard to beat RCBS. The only brand that might be considered better is Dillon, but they make only progressive presses for high volume loaders. I do own several Dillons. But RCBS is a great brand, and I use two RCBS presses all the time. Both are Rockchuckers.

Only precaution would be to try to get a Rockchucker if you want to load very much rifle. That is a slightly heavier press and it will last a lifetime. Most any press will work for pistol ammo.

I agree 100% but what type of press and what accessories are with it? $450 seems a little high for a starter kit but not a bad price at all for a progressive press with all the extras.

This is what they are selling I also thought it was a little bit high. It also includes some 243 bullets but I don't have a 243 or a 300. Does this sound like a good deal I think I could talk her down probably $50.

Talk her down $50 and go for it.

Case trimmer, what, $30 or $40
Reloading manuals are not cheap
The RCBS parts should have a lifetime warranty on them.

The RCBS JR2 loading press does not look like it will work with a piggyback. If you want to use a piggyback, get a reloader special 5 or a rock chucker.

Overall, it looks like a good starter kit.

I do not see calipers listed, so you will need to pick a set of those up. I prefer the dial calipers. I had a pair of stainless steel lee for my calipers.

Get the kit, and get some calipers.

When you decide you want to make the jump to progressive, buy a reloader special 5, RCBS piggyback, and a uniflow charge thrower.

RCBS has some of the best customer service in the universe, they attempt to make a lifetime customer with every interaction with the consumer, they will send you parts for free when you tell them you made a mistake, and it "broke", and they are not concerned if you bought the item new, or found it at a garage sale.
