Update to my earlier review - RCBS Summit Single Stage Reloading Presses

Not long after I wrote this review, and having shared the same concerns over the negative aspects with RCBS, I was contacted by one of their people.

Some of the issues with the setup instructions have been acknowledged. A new manual may be included with newer production. They are addressing the lack of QC on factory assembly
I expect some new parts soon to address the "slop" issues with the top casting and column fit.

After using the press for several hundred more loading sessions I've found this press to produce the STRAIGHTEST sized .308 cases. Straighter than any other press or die system (hand dies) I've used in 40+ years of hand loading. The last 100 sized cases measured LESS than .0005" TIR. That works.

I cut the bottom out of the primer catcher cup, added a long piece of vinyl tube to it, and now the primers all fall into a collection can under the bench.

This is one fantastic press now. I've raised my rating on all but the setup. It's a little more time consuming than an old Rock Chucker but worth the time spent.
Pros: same as before
Cons: fewer than before
