Rossi Rifleman

Last week one of my buds called me up and said he'd ordered a RCBS Rock Crusher Supreme for $110.
I wound up picking up one myself. Also got a Hornady bushing conversion kit and a Inline Fabrication Quick Change top plate.

The Hornady Conversion kit replaces the press die bushing with on of their quick change Lock n Load style bushings and includes 3 die bushings with it.

The Inline Fabrications Ultra Mount with Quick Change Plates is a pretty awesome system if you have have multiple presses or other items you want to bench mount with limited space.

I'm mostly planning on using this one for primer pocket swaging but it may come in handy for other operations.

No such thing at "... didn't strictly need"!

Yeah, I can talk myself into tools pretty easy.
This is a massive press quite capable of doing the swaging operations I plan on using it for and it should easily size anything I decide to use it for.

The on press priming system is somewhat remedial but I'm more likely to prime using an old single step Lee hand primer from before they started putting out the two step elevator style with the easily broken square tray lids.

Yes indeed, no such thing that I didnt really need.
I do the same thing, if something comes up at a real good price, And I have the money, it gets bought.
midway and brownells have been running specials on primers with free shipping and midway had free shipping and free hazmat for one day only.
I bought 10,000 primers for a real good price, one case(5000) of cci small standard pistol and one case(5000) of winchester large standard pistol primers.
I could have never bought them at that price at a local shop.
local shops want around $38.00 / $39.00 per box of 1000, and that isnt counting 6% state tax,($41.34)
I ended up paying $28.00 a box delivered to my door.
Same with dies or anything to do with reloading, including firearms.

That is one heck of a deal considering today's prices!

I couldnt pass it up.
I will seal them up and put them back, eventually I will use them.
Back in May I walked into a local shop and they had a winchester 94, made in 1956, new,unfired.
Price said $900.00, owner said he would sale for $825.00
I couldnt walk away from that.

THAT sounds awful familiar.
I picked up my BLR more or less that way.
