What can ya'll tell me about this press? I got it awhile back when I bought a storage building. I know its a RCBS Jr. Does it appear to be all there? Any other info ya'll can give would be helpful.

I think the RCBS and JR2 cast into the frame is a dead giveaway that it is an RCBS Junior. I don't recall the difference between a plain Junior and a 2 but it probably doesn't amount to much. Even has a shellholder in place.

Thanks, think I'll be setting it up to do some 308 soon.[:)]

I see 2 "accessories" that are missing, the "press prime" arm and tube mount (most people I know prefer to hand prime anyway, so no big deal) and the "spent primer catcher" which is a "C" shaped piece that fits around the front of the press and is held in place with a rubber band (I load on a cement floor, and find it easier to sweep up the primers than to fool around with the catcher thingy)

You should be able to find all priming accessories if you look around.

I sent an email to RCBS to see if I can buy those 2 parts from them.

They are sending the piece's to make it whole. Man RCBS is a great company.

don't use it to prime,..the LEE hand primer is much more precise and faster to boot.

How can it be faster to add an extra step ? more precise yes.but faster I dont buy that,if you have the primer arm set up correct.

I'm a big fan of many Lee products, including their priming tool, but if you're thinking of going that way, take a look at the Hornady tool. More expensive for sure, but more durable and comfortable to use, IHMO.

the tool allows the user to feel the primer seating and feel the amount of pressure used each time. The force created by the press allows no feel at all.
