RCBS Rock Chucker Reloading Press Mounting Template & Dimensions

Cal July 17, 2012 Ammo & Handloading, Reference, Tips & How To's 5 Comments

I have needed the exact dimensions of both the RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme Press and RCBS Partner Press a few times, as I was working on custom ways to mount them (like this portable reloading press stand).  Unfortunately, RCBS doesn’t publish anything to help with that … so I made a template and thought I would share it in case it helps anyone else.

The mounting template, contains the exact dimensions related to the mounting surface, but here are a few more dimensions for presses that are also helpful (and not published anywhere).

RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme (RC IV) Reloading Press Dimensions

  • Mounting Surface Depth = 3 5/8″
  • Mounting Surface Width = 4 1/2″
  • Total Depth = 6 3/8″
  • Total Width = 4 1/2″
  • Width Between Mounting Bolts (Center to Center) = 3″
  • Min clearance below mounted surface = 8 1/2″ (handle may extend below that further out, see photos below … I might allow at least 9″ to be safe)

   

RCBS Partner Reloading Press Dimensions

  • Mounting Surface Depth = 3″
  • Total Width = 2 5/8″

Update: I’ve provided full plans for building the portable reloading press stand shown above. Check them out at: Portable Reloading Press Plans.

    Nice, I haven’t used my Rock Chucker in ages but need to remove primer pocket crimps on my LC 5.56 brass prior to loading on my Dillon and this is close to what I sketched out but yours mounting stand is much nicer. Thanks I will be “stealing” your idea.

    I like the wood mount you did. Do you have more of a side picture? And a list of hardware used?
    Thanks

      Hey Britten, I’m glad you asked. I actually posted a full set of detailed plans to build that portable reloading press stand, and didn’t realize that I never went back and added a link to it in this post. I certainly should have! It should definitely have everything you need to build one. I really have enjoyed that design. It seems ideal.
