RCBS Pro Chucker 7 reviews

Good Afternoon Hide,

Does anyone here own or have experience with the Pro Chucker 7 from RCBS? I have an RCBS Rebel plus single stage press, but was considering what to get if I want to go progressive. I know the Dillon and Lee are popular but want to hear more about this setup. Also, I have dies for reloading 6.5 Creed, will these dies still work with the Pro Chucker 7 if I decide to go this route? In the link posted below it seems that the Pro Chucker 7 has separate dies.

Pro Chucker 7..... OK Finally! .... I'm Tempted!

1. They improved the breakage problem last year and have instructions given to help prevent user breakage. 2. And Finally! They have Pro Chucker 7 die heads (on sale $40) without having to buy another Uniflow. 3. And They now sell separate powder dies!!!! fits my Pro 2000 too, (on sale...

Cant reply on RCBS but a few years ago got the Hornady. Biggest mistake on my reloading bench could not get it to work some on me im sure but still money not well spent. Now i just got a Dillon for my pistol rounds works perfectly every time . Now im rethinking on getting the bigger Dillon for 223 and 308. Maybe RCBS will work for you but I'd look at Dillon 1st.

You can't go wrong with Dillon. You can go very wrong with the other companies.

I tried the RCBS PC7 when it first came out...had problems with priming. Returned it and bought a Dillon XL650. Very happy with the Dillon.

Looking at the same press. I thought Dillon is limited to 2.8” overall cartridge length? Not suitable for reloading long action like 338 Lapua?

Not many folks out there reloading larger cartridges on a progressive anyway. While I use a progressive for bulk loading various handgun rounds and maybe a batch of 5.56, all of my usual rifle stuff is done single stage.
