Rock Chucker - What era to buy?

[Ackman]

My Rockchucker was used when I bought it at a gunshow in about '80, it's seen a lot of use. Works perfectly, I doubt you could kill one.

Mine Rockchucker is stamped "76". My other RC is used for loading at the range was bought around '02 ( box say's made in USA). Only a few cosmetic differences and they function equally well.
Also use 2 Redding Boss presses dedicated for competition rounds that also serve me well.

I bought my RCBS RockChucker kit around 2010 and it's still like brand new...
After every sizing batch I clean the RC and Lube some of the moving stuff and wipe off excess lubricant.
Make sure the Ram piston and the primer slides in it are piston ram are clean from as well as all the surface around the piston. Then I put some lubricant on my finger and lube the bottom half of the piston and run it up and down several times. Then I wipe off the excess at the bottom of the piston and 1/4 of the way up the piston. Then I use a lubricant with the little straw and spray a little bit on every moving part, and again, wipe the excess. 13 years later it's at 98 % brand new condition.
