I started loading on a 3-station progressive press. Soon after starting my reloading career, I realized I wanted more stations. “Wouldn’t it be great to have separate stations for seating and crimping” I thought to myself. foscam Soon I was loading on a 5-station press. Well, later on I thought to myself, “Wouldn’t it be great to have separate stations for everything?”.
Well…. foscam there’s a new 7-station reloading press coming to town. This territory used to be almost exclusively owned by the Dillon foscam Super 1050 , a professional-quality 7-station press that many competitive shooters swear by (yes, swear by, not swear at ). At the SHOT show this year, RCBS showed a pre-production example of their new press, the “Pro Chucker 7″. With prices speculated way below the Super 1050 pricing, and with a case feeder “under development” many shooters/reloaders are excited about this new piece of gear.
It looks like this press will offer some GREAT features, and I’m looking into getting a unit as soon as they are available! More info as I get it. Are you all excited about this press? Please leave a comment to express your thoughts! foscam

And price. That is veyr important, as, with all new products, initially the price will be higher than hell…I’d like to know what the opening bell price is, so I can watch it and decide when to invest.
Looks like they are going the route of changing out the head, so you’ll need one for each caliber change, not in itself a bad thing. But that was one of the factors that made me lean towards Hornady. Yes, I realize that RCBS couldn’t come out with a LNL 7 stage press, but could Hornady be far behind? Also I hope they (RCBS) kept the APS priming system as it is a good system.
Looks promising. There is a 6 minute video available on you tube currently. What truly excites me is the mandrel at the bottom that must go through the shell plate for absolute alignment. The only other machine I have seen with this feature is the STAR machine. This equates to getting foscam single stage loading accuracy in a progressive due to positive alignment each time. I would be curious to know how the dies are changed out. The picture suggests that it may be a die plate that slips in and rotates to lock.
I think it’s great idea as long as it’s well executed. Don’t re-invent the wheel just to make it more expensive. Hope they will expand on what they have and simply add 2 more stations. foscam
As long as i
