RCBS 9354 RC Supreme Master Kit

I've had this press for about 18 months now and run about 2000 rounds through it. Mechanically, it's awesome. It works consistently and accurately, and plays well with other manufacturer's dies, though some hornady shellholders are tight on mine. The powder measure is ok, but you will need the baffle to get any kind of consistency out of it. The balance is slow and tedious, though extremely accurate. The kit would be better with a digital scale for starters. The hand primer tool is pointless in my opinion, as it is faster and as just as accurate to use the priming arm on the press. Changing out the shellholder on the hand primer is likewise slow and tedious. The only benefit to using it I can figure is priming away from the bench, like watching TV. Honestly, I would rather have gotten a case trimmer instead. The hand tools all work fine. A primer pocket brush would have been nice. Is it worth the money? Sure, but buy just the press and the accessories you want, instead of a grab bag of things you don't.

When I bought this kit I was new to reloading and got this based on a recommendation from my reloading instructor. However, after a little experience I've found these are not the items I really needed. The RC Supreme press is absolutely awesome. I also use the powder drop and case load block. But instead of the scale provided, I found a digital scale easier to use. I also bought carbide dies which make the lube unnecessary. I found a different priming tool better (Frankford Arsenal), and bought caliber specific loading books instead of using the book provided. The quality of the kit is terrific, but just be sure you really need / want the items contained in it.

I got it from Amazon cheaper than anywhere else I could find it and got it when RCBS was offering 10% off. Very well please with the starter set. I had reloaded before and knew this would fore fill most of my needs. I have added a lot to the set at a cheaper price than I could have bought exactly what I wanted in individual pieces and I am using every piece in the set except I bought a Powder stand. For me RCBS is rock solid and fills my reloading needs.

I haven't had a chance to use the product yet but it seems very solid, great finish, came well greased and packaged. Some of the press pieces came in a bag with other stuff which threw me off at first. Biggest thing I wanted to say though is in the description it comes with the Nosler #8 manual not #7 (at least mine did), and it requires two 3/8" bolts to mount which are not provided. The rest of the package seems solid as well. Everything came looking good, nothing broken or missing.

The reloaded I learned on as a kid, still rocks, everything in the kit works. I bought a digital scale that is much easier to use though. Nothing wrong with the one that comes with it, the digital is just easier

This isn't my first purchase of reloading equipment and I have had formal training so take this review from that perspective.Press: I've never used a Dillon but aside from that this is right up there. Negative would be changing the primer arm size if you prime on the press. Also the primers tend to fly around randomly when decapping vs the Lee press that reliability deposits them in a little tube. Quality is equal to the Hornady that is to say heavy and supurb. -0.2 stars for the priming functions.Dispenser: as good as any I've used. I have an electronic powder measure for max loads, but for cowboy or Target this is fine.Scale: it's a little touchy. Also the major scale is in five grain increments which takes a bit of getting used too. If SHTF and there was no power this would be ok but for now I'd recommend an electronic scale.Hand primer: best I've used hands down. A bit complicated to set up but much better than the Hornady.Book: unless you are really in to Nosler this is terrible. Hardly any pistol loads, limited powder, limited bullets. Stinks. Two stars for vaguely interesting articles on several calibers. If this is your first kit grab a Lyman manual with it.The misc other items included are nice to have and adequate for the purpose.

I received the Supreme Master Kit fine, except it is missing the Universal Case Loading Block.I even have the shipping paperwork showing it was part of a large order (25 sets and 25 more just Rock Chuckers) that went from RCBS Oroville to Amazon in Tracy..What do I need to do in order to get the Loading Block?BTW, I used a Rock Chucker decades ago and was quite happy with it. That is why I choose it since I am getting back into reloading. I happily used it for .223, 308 win (small base), and a few other calibers.

I sold my Hornady L-n-L single stage and picked up the RCBS RC, then I install the L-n-L conversion bushing. The RCBS RC is heavier and sturdier, but its not as ergonomic. Overall I'm happy and would not go back for my purpose. If you are not reloading large difficult to resize cases, the aluminum Hornady it great and maybe a bit cheaper. The Hornady kit comes with MUCH better powder measure, the RCBS only sells the better powder measure by itself or in the master kit (not in the regular or deluxe kits).

resivi mi kit de recarga en perfectas condiciones y me llego antes del tiempo estimado , recomiendo ampliamente este kit

I needed a good single stage for precision reloading. I bought this kit since it wil MOSTLY set me up to start reloading.Quality 5/5The press is a beast! Same with the primer and powder throw. The press is heavy and is easy to manipulate. Im not crazy about the primer catch. Only press better than this i find is the coax.Price 5/5The best thing to do is get this near years end when they have the buy green get green promotion. 175 off 500. Search other prices on amazon as well. Its 300.00 as we speak.I'll probably use everything here..even the scale. Unless you buy a gempro those 40.00 scales wonder off quite a bit. The funnel isnt the greatest.If you think this kit is a one stop shop..it isnt. You will need calipers, dies, case machining tools but you probably all ready knew that. This kit will save you alot of money and will setup the novice to experienced reloaders moneyTime to get tight groups

Works great and easily.Would recommend for anyone

RCBS makes a great, well built, solid product. Easy to set up, easy to follow instructions. If you are looking for a reloading set you will not be disappointed with the RCBS.

Le produitest arrivé intact et en très bon état! Je suis impatient de commencer à travailler avec mon kit!
