Product Information
RCBS has been manufacturing high quality reloading equipment for over 50 years. The Summit Single Stage reloading press is no exception. This press will work with standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies, 1" di bodies with (adapters, sold separately) and has enough leverage to handle any difficult sizing task. The innovative design mounts the entire press to the top of the bench and actually lowers the die down to the case. The steel linkage and cast iron frame help to ensure that the press is stable and rugged to hold up to years of serious reloading. The solid construction and design allows reloaders the ability to achieve great precision and accuracy which is paramount to accurate Handloading. This press will easily work for both right and left handed reloaders with the ambidextrous design, while the 4.5" opening gives ample room for sizing the largest cases reloaders need to size. This press has a massive 2" diameter ram with a Zerk fitting for easy lubrication. The spent primer catcher is in a very convenient location under the Shellholder and the press is manufactured right here in the USA.
2. Eclipse Sunshades, see http://www.eclipsesunshades.net/. On our long term trips, taking advantage of free solar power means pointing the vehicle in a southward direction. It also means that the dash and the passenger compartment get a full dose of sun. Operating the radios and sitting in the front seats can get a little toasty, not mention a little bright. The solution is a product that Larry highly recommends - the Eclipse Sunshade. As seen in the wind turbine photo above, I have the Eclipse installed on the H2 and it makes working the radio a pleasure in full sunlight. Easy to install (especially if Larry does it for you) and easy to deploy. Thanks, Larry!!
