...It should be a Reloader Special 3....the current version listed with reloading Starter Kit is a RS5....midway shows the complete kit with press,loading block,lube kit,primer tray,funnel,505 scales and Speer manual for 207.95 and press only for 89.45....it is a lightweight less durable version of the Rockchucker and I don't have ANY PERSONAL OR SECOND HAND experience with them....but RCBS stuff is usually great and their warranty is very good and hassle free.....good luck and good shooting!! |

| The RS-5 is an improved RS-3 with a larger (but bushed) die opening to allow shotshell loading with the larger dies. Dealer pays $86.10 for the RS-5. Aluminum frame, but quite strong.

| I have an RS 2. It's kept on ticking all these years. An excellent piece of equipment. Not a ding on it. |

| Thanks everyone for the replies......Ive been using a Challenger press for a number of years and after putting the handle back on about a thousand times I think I've figured out where they came up with the name....Thanks again, CSJ |

| C.S.,
I have 3 JR3 presses. IMHO one of the best presses RCBS ever produced. If you can find one for under $40 buy it. One other nice thing about them RCBS still warranties them at no cost.

| It is an "O" frame press made of cast iron. Does not have compound leverage like the rock-chucker. I load 416 Rem on it so I'd say it was full size. I bought mine in 1971. Still works fine. |
