I don't know but I am glad I have the older one. It works great.

I didn't know they had removed it. I own a RC Supreme that was purchased about three years ago and mine has the priming arm.

I also bought a supreme kit, about two years ago. Mine has the priming arm which was supplied as a kit of spares. I have never assembled or used this part.


Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not out to get you....

The RC Supreme does have a priming arm that does come with the kit, but it is NOT like the older RC press. The Supreme arm is more cumbersome to use in that you must handle each primer individually. a real PITA IMO

Removing the priming are from that press is like removing tits from a bull. They are useless anyway.

I just called RCBS and they confirmed that the rockchucker press no longer has the priming arm!
IMO...very bad move on their part!!!!
