Sometimes less is more. Many presses are large, bulky, and very heavy. However, from time to time, a handloader may want a smaller, lighter press. The RCBS Partner Press is an interesting alternative to large, heavy presses.

Guy, your like the Bob Ross of reloading! Reminds me of the, Lee breech lock reloader press. And also I enjoy the Lee Classic loader kits. They do work. Looks like RCBS did a update. 😊

@bob_mosavo Год назад

I wonder what Guy's happy little accidents would look like 😉

@pbeardy Год назад

I am a new reloader and I follow your channel closely to learn what I can. When I went shopping for a press the only one that was available at my local store was a RCBS Partner Press. I have been feeling like it’s not a “real” press (i.e. Rockchucker) so I have been wondering what I was missing or if I was being hampered in my learning process. This review has come at a perfect time for me and I am relieved to hear you give it a positive review. Thank you for all of the good information you provide on here. I will continue to watch for every new video.

@wayneparris3439 Год назад

I started loading 45 years ago on a Rockchucker. I just passed it to my son. I have no doubt that this press will work just fine and hold up for a long long time. I have moved on to Dillon decades ago and never looked back. RCBS makes good tools. You should be happy and fine.

@christiansmith9414 Год назад

@rom14141 Год назад

Good review. Liked that you loaded .30-06. RCBS is never a bad choice.

@guyminer2384 Год назад

My 30-06 has been so good to me over the years. Elk, mule deer, antelope, black bear and even grizzly. Literally a cartridge that can do it all for North America.

@laurencemiltonbell6951 Год назад

I bought the RCBS partner press kit when I just wanted to see if I’d like reloading. It’s now some 30ish years later and I’ve got better presses now but I still have my partner press and I only use it for single operations like lead hardness testing. Turned out I didn’t like reloading, I love it.

@barlitone Год назад

I have four presses. For "production," I use a Lee Classic Turret (the 4-station one). I love it for churning out ammo for my 9mm guns mostly, but I also use it for 45 ACP or 38 Spl when I just want to load a bunch of them to build up some stock. My favorite single-stage is the RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme, but I have two compact loading setups for when I don't want to load out in the garage. My main "compact" option is the Lee Breech Lock Challenger, which attaches to a desk in my office with their mounting system. My "sub-compact" option is the Lee Hand Press. I've loaded up plenty of rounds while watching TV in my living room, and it's great for decapping and/or resizing brass while sitting around pretty much anywhere in the house.

@machiningcoolstuff9124 Год назад

Still using my RCBS Rock chucker I bought over 20 years ago. I've loaded thousands of handgun and rifle rounds with it. Works fine for me. Might get a partner for a second stage now after seeing this.

@nathanjames7030 Год назад

Just got a Partner press from my dad and I'm looking forward to getting into reloading. Glad to hear a good review of the little press. As soon as I can get my hands on some primers I'll start reloading 270 win and 40 s&w.

@CHenry1951 Год назад

Forget all the frills, I purchased an RCBS RC back in 1982, and still use it today producing some very, very accurate ammo for my 6BR, 6.5 CM .......................slow and steady !!

@fiorevitola880 Год назад

I started out with the single-station RCBS press many years ago and advanced to progressive pres, later on, that is what introduced me to reloading. That is an excellent start!

@charlesgauldin8010 Год назад

@SigmaBallistics Год назад

I’ve been using the same single stage Lee since the mid 90’s. My grandfather gave it to me. Now I am considering one of these to setup as a portable reloading press.

@guyminer2384 Год назад

@wadelandeche8632 Год назад

When I started loading I started with the RCBS Jr. (still in use). It lacked the compound leverage for easier resizing. But I do like the feedback feel when seating and crimping rounds. RCBS has made great strides in press quality and strength with the styles.

@guyminer2384 Год назад

Dad used an RCBS Jr, and it's mine now. Good old press, but yes, I remember the lack of leverage.

@michaeldunn150 Год назад

@pilot4them2010 Год назад

I have 3 presses. And old Lynman Spartan press that is set up for de-priming and priming. The Partner press is used for my pistol rounds, .40 s&w, 45 acp and .357 mag. And I have a Redding big boss I use for my rifle rounds. The Partner press is a excellent press for loading pistol rounds and is very smooth operating.

@robinj.9329 4 месяца назад

Nothing wrong with the cast aluminum presses! Their great to get started "Re-loading", with a minimum cash out lay. Even if you don't have kids at home, almost everyone has a spouse or partner who "monitors the finances". And we want to keep him/her happy too! 😮

@kovach505 Год назад

I’ve have had the partner press for awhile now and been very happy with it from loading 9mm-45acp and 5.56-6mm creedmore I’ve had very good results and have been impressed with this small budget friendly press

@DanielBoone337 Год назад

This was my very 1st press and it worked pretty good but it wears out fast and if you're a seasoned reloader looking to squeeze everything out of your handloads it will give you inconsistencies in shoulder bump and seating depth after several hundred rounds. I have to remember to push the handle to the left while I'm pulling it down in order to get the same shoulder bump or bullet seated to the same spot. I've tried pushing the handle to the left, right, and pulling it straight back and I'll get in the neighborhood of .004" to .007" of variation in seating depth or bump and that's been repeatable. I thought I was crazy at first and it was the cheap Lee dies I was using but I ordered a set of Forester competition dies and it done the same thing. Then I ordered a Rockchucker Supreme and the variations went away with both set of dies so it was definitely the press. That said this was a $40 press and now I keep this setup with a universal decapping die and that's all I use to decap my spent rounds before I throw them in the tumbler. I even bought a 3d printed primer trey that connects to a tube and it plugs up the hole in front of the ram that helps keep primers off the floor. All in all its a great starter press or just like the name says a partner press to your others.

@guyminer2384 Год назад

Interesting input. Thank you. Ya, I don't think RCBS intended this little press to compete with their top of the line presses, but it seems fine for what it is.

I bought the partner press and a lee pro 1000. So far the Lee pro 1000 has left me wanting more from a progressive press. I love my partner press. I exclusively load on the partner press as it never breaks down! I load 9mm, 350-legend,.223, 30-06, and will soon be loading .308 and .357 Magnum

@shanerhodes925 Год назад

I had a old rcbs I can not remember what they called it now. But it was about the same thing as that one. I liked it. Just didn't have the leverage of the supreme I have now. So like the 300 win or 3006 sometimes was a little harder when sizing. But you could feel everything with it. So nice in that aspect

My first press. I still have and use. I would not sell it still has a lot of uses as a second or third press on my bench. My personal opinion is rcbs probably makes the best quality press for the money. The bigger your hobby grows the more diverse your brand of equipment may very, everyone will have some items that will suit their needs or preferences better for different tasks. At least I do.

@strugglebusbonsai Год назад

Even though I already have 2 RCBS Rockchuckers and a Dillon 550, I picked one of these up on Monday (today is Friday). My plan was to use it at the range to seat bullets when working up new loads. Lo and behold, it's missing the shellholder retaining clip. Been trying for 4 days to reach RCBS. Phone message keeps saying it's after business hours. Headed to Sportsman's to return it. Too bad, it was perfect for the task. Great review, glad your press was complete.

I use a single stage Lee press that I bought in a kit. I’m starting to load 9mm and 357 mag. When I bought the kit I was new to reloading and had a 300 BLk pistol that I put together. I recently started putting together die’s and gear to start reloading 6.5 CM since I just bought a used Ruger American in that caliber and I’m learning to use it and trying to dial in on some small groups with that gun.

@ISPhotographic Год назад

When seating your bullets, why didn't you flip the primer arm over out of the way? This would let the ram drop lower and give more room to put the bullet into the case neck.

@30321495 Год назад

My reloading room is confined to the corner of a closet that is a little over 2' wide and 16" deep so I'm very limited with space. But I installed an RCBS Rebel press. No complaints with the Rebel. I did consider other more compact presses like the Partner, Special-5, and Summit but ultimately decided on the heftier option. I have begun depriming as a separate step prior to resizing and I think if I had more room for a 2nd press, the Partner would be a perfect dedicated depriming press.

@jamesb3199 Год назад

I bought one of those for taking to the range. Sizing bigger cases cases kinda sucks lol. But just using it at the range to seat bullets in prepped cases it’s ok. But when we moved all my stuff was in storage it was used but ended up getting my rock chucker out as well.

Tons of play in the ram and the threads for my die were not even cut fully, there was aluminum shavings still in the partially cut threads, had to finish it myself. Spent primer catching sucks. barely has the leverage to size .223. The Lee breech lock for under 80 beans is 100x better. You get a better primer catcher and the breech lock. Come on man, give a real review. This SUCKS. And it sucks compared to other under $100 presses, not comparing it to expensive presses.
