12Ga in a RCBS Rock Chucker?

SRide:

WOW!! For $187.09 + tax & shipping, I sure hope they produce a very nice shotshell!!

Yeah, I hear that. I didn't pay anywhere near that when I bought the RCBS set years ago, not even considering inflation.

Pete, I could've sworn that RCBS sold RC dies for 12Ga back around the time I got my press (1999) & I couldn't remember if the dies would work or were even still available hence my OP. I only wish I was into reloading as much back then as I am now....

You know what they say about hindsight.... I'm sure there's a few Dem's thinking that very same thing right about now re: POTUS

Thanks Ruger4570! The price of reloading 12ga isn't really an issue for me. I can't see buying a top of the line shotshell press just to have the ability to reload a couple hundred rds. of 12ga should I ever find the need to.

I have 17K+ rds. on hand (500=12ga), & have not bought factory fodder since 12 Sept 2001. (33 5rd boxes of 3" 000B) I can reload 10 diff. calibers (7 handgun & 3 rifle) & can't do anything w/12ga except look @ empty hulls.

I've never compared prices (ammunition or firearms) with wallyworld's because they buy it direct from the manuf. in such large quantities that nobody in the business can compete. :barf:

Thanks to everyone who posted in this thread! Thanks also to the few who sent PM's w/ info re: inexpensive reloading gear for 12ga!! All very helpful to me in my quest!! Reloaders are definitely a RARE & FINE breed!!!
