There's a new single-stage reloading press in town from RCBS, and it's called the Rebel! I was fortunate to get my hands on the first "public copy" of the press, and in this video I'll get this press out fo the box, cover setup/mounting, load some 6.5 Creedmoor rounds, and compare it to the RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme. Plus an announcement you'll want to hear!
**Note: Correction: The RCBS Rebel has a slightly wider mounting pattern compared to the RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme. Be aware of this if you order an Inline Fabrication Ultramount. The correct mount/plate is #26 (Summit / Rebel).

@albertan9386 4 года назад

The silence about concentrically and shoulder bump consistency is deafening. Why RCBS decided not to use over-cam on the REBEL like the Rock Chucker and the PRAZI-PRESS is a mystery and, in my opinion, a mistake. A minor revision to the toggle block that would allow for cam-over in one guise and no cam-over with a simple reverse installation of the toggle block might be doable. For now, I'll keep my old Rock Chucker and skip the REBEL. If the dies and brass are up to it, the run out is virtually nil on every cartridge I load. This has been the case for many years, and I suspect many more years to come.

@garrytalley8009 2 года назад

@@albertan9386 I have over camming presses and those that are not. I think that the over-camming doesn't do much if anything. Of course you are entitled to your opinion. If anything pushing a shoulder back more than necessary is a negative thing. Think about it. If you have a die bottom out how is it going to go any further unless it crushes the die? If using neck sizing collet dies in fact you can damage many necks just with dealing with an over-camming press before getting your setting right. Pros and cons of everything. Hype in many cases like over-camming.

@markyoung7470 2 года назад

I just got my new Rebel so far I love it, This is my second RCBS Press I have an old Jr Press that's at least forty years old and still running fine will probably set it up as a depriming station only. Converted the Rebel to the Hornady lock and load system, Wish Hornady would have made the bushing like a nut instead of rounded, hard to get it tight enough that it doesn't spin off when changing dies. Probably use some lock tight on the bushing and see if that help keeps the bushing locked in the press. Gavin would love to see a runout comparison of the two presses!

@JJW3 3 года назад

Good video. I was on the fence between the Rock Chucker Supreme and the Rebel. I normally use a Lee turret press but I just bought the RCBS Rebel to accommodate large base .577/.450 Martini Henry dies, which wont fit in the Lee turret. The Martini Henry case is large, so the extra clearance and strength of the Rebel fit the bill.

@rwmagnus 4 года назад

I expect both presses are good. I’m part of the 1% crowd as I use the RC Supreme on press priming system. Didn’t see a need to make the new press heavier. Never had an issue with spent primers. I put a piece of plastic with Velcro to take up the slack between the frame and back of primer catch assembly. Works 100%. I like RCBS its just time to market a new press. BTW my RC Supreme was about $65 less.

@echosreloadingchamber7306 4 года назад

What about comparing the rock chucker Supreme against the rebel and do resizing and check neck concentricity and bullet concentricity using the same dies and the same caliber like 6.5. Supposedly the ram is supposed to be very tight with the cast iron Base??

@stevenmarcus2709 Год назад

Me too, I have never owned an RCBS press until the rebel, I was surprised immediately at the sloppyness. The main bearings in the linkage have a pop to them at a certain point of the stroke. (Wallered out) and the ram has at least a 1/16” or 1/8” wiggle when it’s topped out in the stroke. Not cool. My handle will move side to side almost an inch.

@Central_Desert 2 года назад

Gavin, Reloading 101 question: I have just finished mounting my new Rebel press to the bench, I found a clip in the packing box which I suspect is part of the press. Best described as a wire half circle clip. The shell holder sits fairly loose in the press, does this clip provide tension to the shell holder? You mention in your video the the shell holder should have tension when pushed in. Please advise. I have not used RCBS presses before, just Wilson in-line dies. Appreciate any assistance.

They are always in the way and don't work as well as stand alone hand or bench primer seating methods or tools. I do hope all your subscribed people are in the drawing. Be nice to win one of those.

I neither decap nor prime on my Rockchucker as I use a little Lee to decap and I prime on a Lee bench primer. So my Rockchucker is strictly for sizing, seating and crimping.

@LunaRendezvous 4 года назад

About the ejection of spent primers and primer crud, does the exit hole at the lower part of the ram protrude clear of the press body when the ram is in the upper most position, or does the exit hole get blocked by the press body and bearing surface, thus contaminating the bearing surface?

@garrytalley8009 2 года назад

So much about nothing. If over-greased it can clog the primer hole. All one has to do is run something trough it to clean it out. And it is ridiculous to think that primer residue is going to damage the ram contaminating the grease. Where do you fanatics about little things that mean nothing come from?

I like the primer system on the rebel and the extra mass. But I actually like my supreme more. I'm one of the few that use the on primer system. I don't like greasing the ram. I've seen what grease does to a high use situation that it would endure. Unless there is a bushing Between the two to prevent wear on the frame... That's the truck mechanic in me talking. If it came with an ergo roller handle like the inline fabrication, and lighting in the frame, I'd be really interested in buying one. But I'll keep using my supreme.

I prefer to prime my cases with my press with my primer tubes and primer mechanism. My press has the green plastic spent primer catcher and it never has gotten in the way like the newer rockchucker press. I load everything from .204 Ruger up to .416 Rigby and .470 nitro express and have plenty of room for them in my good ole faithful rockchucker press.

I wish the Rebel came with shorter handles for operations that do not need all the pressure using a long handle ie. Priming, expanding. Erogermacis says this will take less wear and tear on your body. I have been using 2 shorter handles for years on my rock chucker.

@Burris19D 2 года назад

I also prefer a slightly shorter handle as well. Just curious, where did you get the shorter handles for your RC? I imagine I could have someone make me one for either press but would rather not have to find that person. I like the handle on the Lee Classic Turret I have for pistol calibers where you can adjust it to any length you want and it has a slight cant in the angle so you can move it where you want. A shame more presses don't utilize something similar for a custom fit. I believe 2-3" off the RC or Rebel would be perfect.

@charlied3732 2 года назад

Gavin, many thanks for your videos, loved the 14 single stage press shootout. Would love to know your thoughts between the Rebel and the Big Boss 2. I’ve one issue with each of them. When loading, I mount the charged cases from the right (right hand) and place the projectile with left hand, simultaneously. The 0 degree/perpendicular O frame presses suit this. Therefore, I think this rules the Big Boss out for me, unless I can squeeze my right hand in from the left, when seat of the left side of the press. Do you think this would be possible to do? The one issue I have with the RCBS presses, including the Rebel, is it only has two fixing points, and they are centred, leaving less leverage to the front edge of the base plate and bench. Does this allow much flex on the bench in your experience?
