SAFETY
Reloading is an enjoyable and rewarding hobby that can be conducted safely. But carelessness or negligence can make reloading hazardous. This product has been designed from the beginning with the user’s safety in mind.
When reloading, some safety rules must be followed. By observing these rules, the chance of a hazardous occurrence causing personal injury or property damage is minimized.
GENERAL
•Use all equipment as the manufacturer recommends. Study the instructions carefully and become thoroughly familiar with the operating of the tool. Don’t take shortcuts.
•Observe “good housekeeping” in the reloading area. Keep tools and components neat, clean and orderly. Promptly and completely clean up primer and powder spills.
•Reload only when you can give your undivided attention. Do not reload when fatigued or ill. Develop a reloading routine to avoid mistakes. Avoid haste — load at a leisurely pace.
•Always wear adequate eye protection.
•If any unusual resistance is encountered when moving the operating handle, STOP IMMEDIATELY and investigate the cause. To proceed against unusual resistance may damage equipment and/or cause serious personal injury!
LOADING DATA
•Use only laboratory tested reloading data. We highly recommend the use of the SPEER Reloading Manual or RCBS.load reloading software.
•OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS ABOUT THE USE OF MAXIMUM LISTED LOADS.
PRIMERS AND POWDER
•Store primers and powder beyond the reach of children and away from heat, dampness, open flames, and electrical equipment.
•DO NOT use primers of unknown identity.
•Keep primers in original factory container until ready to use. Return unused primers to the same factory packaging for safety and to preserve their identity.
•DO NOT store primers in bulk. The blast of just a few hundred primers is sufficient to cause serious injury to anyone nearby.
•DO NOT force primers. Use care in handling primers.
•DO NOT use any powder unless its identity is positively known. Discard all mixed powders and those of uncertain or unknown identity.
•If you use a powder measure, replace the lids on both the powder hopper and powder can after the powder hopper has been filled.
•Before charging cases, settle the powder in the powder hopper. Load and check the weight of at least ten charges. This will assure you that the correct powder charge is being loaded.
•After a reloading session ends, pour the remaining powder back in its original factory container. This will preserve the identity and shelf life of the powder.
•DO NOT smoke while handling powder or primers.
RECORD KEEPING
•Keep complete record of reloads. Apply a descriptive label to each box showing the date produced, and the primer, powder and bullet used. Labels for this purpose are packed with SPEER bullets.
Since RCBS has no control over the choice of components, the manner in which they are assembled, the use of this press, or the firearms in which the resulting ammunition may be used, no responsibility, either expressed or implied, is assumed for the use of ammunition reloaded with this press.
INTRODUCTION
The Rock Chucker Supreme Press has been designed specifically for heavy-duty reloading, case forming, and bullet swaging. It is engineered to handle the largest and longest magnums down to .17 caliber. The compound leverage system of the Rock Chucker Supreme Press can fulllength resize cases with less effort than other presses neck size. Using RCBS Case Forming Dies this press will form .30-06 cases into many other calibers.
By combining the famous RCBS block “O” frame with the compound leverage system, the Rock Chucker Supreme will develop work pressure that would spring other presses out of alignment. To insure alignment under these pressures, the Rock Chucker press frame provides a full four inches of ram-bearing surface to rigidly support the one inch diameter main ram. The compound leverage action is similar to that of a power punch press. As the handle pressure increases, the leverage is compounded, building up a maximum work pressure in the main ram as it travels the full length of the stroke. The toggle block, links and pins are engineered to withstand the punishment of heavy-duty reloading. The handle is made of solid steel and features a comfortable ball-type handle grip. The Rock Chucker Supreme Press has standard 7/8-14 thread for most popular reloading dies and accessories.
ACCESSORIES
The Rock Chucker Supreme Press is designed to utilize a primer arm. This priming system is equipped with interchangeable primer plugs and sleeves for seating large and small primers.
The Primer Catcher keeps spent primers from dropping to the floor and is easily removed for emptying.
