New toy
This is why I haven't posted much for the last few days:
Welcome to The Grand by RCBS.
As always, there is a story behind any new acquisition. One of my shooting buddies recently upgraded from this machine to a Spolar Gold. He sold the press to another of my shooting buddies who used it for a few weeks and then realized that the green press clashed with his "all blue" reloading room. That shooting buddy upgraded to a Dillon SL 900 last weekend and sold the RCBS press to me for $200. Such a deal!
Both of my buddies pooh-poohed this press because it will only load about 400 rounds per hour. Considering that I've been using a 100 round per hour MEC Sizemaster for the last 20 years, the new RCBS seems just fine to me. {grin}
I haven't gotten rid of the MEC, but I think it will be retired to load development and short runs of hunting loads. I've loaded more in the last few days just playing with the RCBS machine than I did in the last two weeks on the MEC. Woo-H00! More time to circle and count little holes......

Nice and a sweet deal. I don't reload shotgun ammo but I have an RCBS Ammomaster progressive press I use for pistol and some rifle reloading. RCBS has been real good to me, replacing small parts free with no questions asked.
