RCBS Summit Press?

[Skeetman59]

I’m thinking about adding this press to my bench. I was wondering if anyone has one and what are your thoughts on it.

I’m currently using an RCBS Rebel press and I’m happy with it. I just gain some more space on my bench and wanted to try something different.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I don't have one (I have a rock chucker) but doing a quick search here reveals many negative reviews. Most recommend Forster Coax. I'm sure some will chime in soon.

I hated the Summit and replaced it with a Rebel. First, the odd design of the Summit made it very difficult to use a collet bullet puller die. It also required much more force to size cases than other presses.

I love the Rebel

I deleted my reply as a waste of my time.

To be fair, it is good for seating bullets. If I had the space I would maybe use the Rebel for all the heavy lifting and dedicate the Summit to seating bullets.

I had one and sold it . Went back to my Ammo Master and never looked back but that was my thoughts on it .

I have one as well, but only use it to seat bullets. Which it does a great job.

Seating bullets and decapping is all ive found it does

I use 2 presses an older RCBS Jr2 and a Coax very happy with this. after reloading shed is done I have a Hornaday LNL to add to the mix.

I own one. RCBS has an arbor press attachment for it. I use it with my Wilson non-threaded dies, and it works great for that purpose.

I load a lot of 300 PRC so if I get one it will be a $200 bullet seater.

My brother got one when they 1st came out. He liked it until he realized he couldn’t seat primers. Sold it for a T-7

Great decision. Don’t forget as post number 8 brilliantly points out you can ‘decap ‘ also.

He could have used this unit from rcbs. Ive seated a bunch with one.

I know a few guys that have broke the summit but dont recall the details of it
