RCBS RS

Looks like these came with optional primer tube feed that I don't have.

Does this mean priming the case on ram down stroke from sizing? Handling primers and case lube together?

Does anyone do this?

This press has been in storage for a long time. Thought I'd call RCBS and ask about an overhaul kit. But after clean up, I don't think it needs internals.

Accessories?? Always lol.
 
Most likely you run handle down (case into the die, decap), handle up (expander through neck, primer moves from tube to shellholder), then push the handle (seats primer.)

If you're running rifle brass with case lube, you may want to rethink the process. For pistol (with carbide dies) it's not an issue as you don't generally need lube.
 
A lot of us also clean primer pockets before putting in new primers, so there's that too.
I have an RCBS press, but I use their hand-priming tool, which gives me a better "feel" than priming on press.
