Whats a good one?
 
Reloader that is? I'm looking simple, one step at a time for rifle rounds. Bench top, single station.

Not cheap mind you, just simple no bells no whistles.

The rcbs rockchucker is solid and dependable.It is the press that is considered the standard to compare to by most handloaders.

Greets,
I use a Lyman, I bought it for the price. That said, I have had the occassion to use an RCBS rockchucker. I have done a bit of price comparing since, as well as a bit of research into reliability and quality. I personnally beleive that the rockchucker is about hte best for the money, and perhaps the best single stage press made.

Just my uneducated opinion!

For a single-station, I am using the RCBS Reloader Special (No. 1 version) press that I bought in 1968. It is as good as the day I bought it, no compound leverage, ner nuthin'!!

I agree with the Rockchucker. The Lyman orange crusher II is almost identical to the rockchucker and would be a good choice also.

I have to go along with the RCBS Rockchucker.I don't used it like I use to, but it as good as the day I bought it 20+ years ago.Over the years I have accquired almost all RCBS equipment and never had a problem with any of it.I have a few Lyman items . Lyman #55 powder measure and Lyman bullet lubricator and one or two sets of Lyman dies which have worked well.You won't go wrong with RCBS products.Ruger Redhawk

Years ago I bought the Lee Chalanger press ( I think when they first came out ). It still works fine and I only paid $ 35.00 for it new. That said I like the Lyman and RCBS presses better as they have a removable spent primer catcher. My Lee press has it built in and it's a pain to empty. If money is an issue I'd recommend the Lee as it has no problems but for a few dollars more you get convience.

Ditto with the rockchucker. Got mine from my dad since he doesn't reload anymore. Its probably 20 years old and works flawlessly.
