NEW RCBS Rebel Press: Unboxing, Overview, Loading, Comparison

[@luxsteelshooters]

Please rebuild the test you did 2019 to compare the Rebel vs Rockchucker. Would be interesting to see if it is more accurate than the good Rockchucker.

[@lowfern]

@@joeees7790 Yes that's a fantastic idea, always got a true comparison then for anything new

[@mikerutchka1836]

Was hoping to see a runout comparison, of the dummy cartidges you loaded, like you did in the 14 press shootout... otherwise, a very good informative vid!

[@albertan9386]

The silence about concentrically and shoulder bump consistency is deafening. Why RCBS decided not to use over-cam on the REBEL like the Rock Chucker and the PRAZI-PRESS is a mystery and, in my opinion, a mistake. A minor revision to the toggle block that would allow for cam-over in one guise and no cam-over with a simple reverse installation of the toggle block might be doable. For now, I'll keep my old Rock Chucker and skip the REBEL. If the dies and brass are up to it, the run out is virtually nil on every cartridge I load. This has been the case for many years, and I suspect many more years to come.

[@garrytalley8009]

@@albertan9386 I have over camming presses and those that are not. I think that the over-camming doesn't do much if anything. Of course you are entitled to your opinion. If anything pushing a shoulder back more than necessary is a negative thing. Think about it. If you have a die bottom out how is it going to go any further unless it crushes the die? If using neck sizing collet dies in fact you can damage many necks just with dealing with an over-camming press before getting your setting right. Pros and cons of everything. Hype in many cases like over-camming.

[@tomcooke6670]

I would like to know the run out you got on the rounds you produced. Thanks

[@stevenmarcus2709]

Me too, I have never owned an RCBS press until the rebel, I was surprised immediately at the sloppyness. The main bearings in the linkage have a pop to them at a certain point of the stroke. (Wallered out) and the ram has at least a 1/16” or 1/8” wiggle when it’s topped out in the stroke. Not cool. My handle will move side to side almost an inch.

[@scottperson9487]

NIce video. RCBS and Dillon are not afraid of improving on great, high selling and proven presses.

[@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hill]

Looks like a good one, I like the primers fall through now on this model.

[@catman928]

When I bought a single stage press several years ago, ejection of the primers thru the ram, was the reason I did not shop RCBS. Now I may have to buy another single stage press.

[@JJW3]

Good video. I was on the fence between the Rock Chucker Supreme and the Rebel. I normally use a Lee turret press but I just bought the RCBS Rebel to accommodate large base .577/.450 Martini Henry dies, which wont fit in the Lee turret. The Martini Henry case is large, so the extra clearance and strength of the Rebel fit the bill.

[@jonlennon3348]

I wonder if they grooved it so the grease goes all the way around it.

[@markhorne5334]

As an avid shooter and gun enthusiast I’ve been looking at all types of presses. Your videos are helping me make my final decision.

[@richardnear4160]

My RCBS RC2 does just fine for me👍. I do my priming with a RCBS hand priming tool

[@pstewart5443]

I use the RCBS bench mounted priming tool and OMG it is so fast. I can prime 100 cases in a touch over 4 minutes. Love my RC IV. That thing is so smooth and the cam over is so great. I am just not a fan of presses that don't cam over.

[@echosreloadingchamber7306]

What about comparing the rock chucker Supreme against the rebel and do resizing and check neck concentricity and bullet concentricity using the same dies and the same caliber like 6.5. Supposedly the ram is supposed to be very tight with the cast iron Base??

[@Lucastrujillo59]

Great looking press Thanks for showing

[@markyoung7470]

I just got my new Rebel so far I love it, This is my second RCBS Press I have an old Jr Press that's at least forty years old and still running fine will probably set it up as a depriming station only. Converted the Rebel to the Hornady lock and load system, Wish Hornady would have made the bushing like a nut instead of rounded, hard to get it tight enough that it doesn't spin off when changing dies. Probably use some lock tight on the bushing and see if that help keeps the bushing locked in the press. Gavin would love to see a runout comparison of the two presses!

[@michaelocchipinti6609]

great presentation ,my 50 year old rockchucker is still going strong

[@frankponikvar9262]

I'm impressed with the mass of the new press, however, call me ole fashion but I still prefer my old original RCBS rockchucker press I bought back in 1975. I prefer to prime my cases with my press with my primer tubes and primer mechanism. My press has the green plastic spent primer catcher and it never has gotten in the way like the newer rockchucker press. I load everything from .204 Ruger up to .416 Rigby and .470 nitro express and have plenty of room for them in my good ole faithful rockchucker press.

[@RuggedSportsmen]

I also use an old hand-me-down rockchucker. Incredible press

[@coupesix]

[@SouthernGuy27]

[@GotYo6]

[@richhiggins6056]

Looks good. I've been using a rockchucker for years. The spent primer through ram discharge is an awsome upgrade.

[@capt.martin5169]

Another great video, Sold Me! Thanks!

[@CZed75]

Is there no way to attach a hose for spent primer collection like on the Redding Big Boss 2? Does the hole where the spent primers exit the ram go inside the frame at the top of the stroke? Therefore introducing all the spent primer crud into the frame ram interface?

[@avidwaterfowler7522]

Nick I agree 100%. What is sooooo damn hard about making this a full drop through ram? Mec did it right, although they don’t have a hose attached. Redding does it right as well. However, the new Lyman do it wrong as well so I don’t just want to just pick on rcbs. Introducing primer crud is not good for these to mating metal surfaces. Get it right, please!

[@LunaRendezvous]

About the ejection of spent primers and primer crud, does the exit hole at the lower part of the ram protrude clear of the press body when the ram is in the upper most position, or does the exit hole get blocked by the press body and bearing surface, thus contaminating the bearing surface?

[@garrytalley8009]

So much about nothing. If over-greased it can clog the primer hole. All one has to do is run something trough it to clean it out. And it is ridiculous to think that primer residue is going to damage the ram contaminating the grease. Where do you fanatics about little things that mean nothing come from?

[@megs4174]

Where did it stand in the 14 press comparison or did you do all the test with the new rebel. If not I would like to see that in a video. Great video.

[@garygade8365]

I wish the Rebel came with shorter handles for operations that do not need all the pressure using a long handle ie. Priming, expanding. Erogermacis says this will take less wear and tear on your body. I have been using 2 shorter handles for years on my rock chucker.

[@Burris19D]

I also prefer a slightly shorter handle as well. Just curious, where did you get the shorter handles for your RC? I imagine I could have someone make me one for either press but would rather not have to find that person. I like the handle on the Lee Classic Turret I have for pistol calibers where you can adjust it to any length you want and it has a slight cant in the angle so you can move it where you want. A shame more presses don't utilize something similar for a custom fit. I believe 2-3" off the RC or Rebel would be perfect.

[@bfdadventure]

I have this press enroute after my Summit snapped in half at the upper cross bar linkage. I see this is a common problem with the Summit.

[@thedetective8150]

Gavin, please make a runout comparison of the dummy cartridges you loaded, as you did in your excellent 14 single stage press shootout video.

[@chrisgilbert2152]

It's RCBS, what can you say!!

[@rwmagnus]

I expect both presses are good. I’m part of the 1% crowd as I use the RC Supreme on press priming system. Didn’t see a need to make the new press heavier. Never had an issue with spent primers. I put a piece of plastic with Velcro to take up the slack between the frame and back of primer catch assembly. Works 100%. I like RCBS its just time to market a new press. BTW my RC Supreme was about $65 less.

Gavin, Reloading 101 question: I have just finished mounting my new Rebel press to the bench, I found a clip in the packing box which I suspect is part of the press. Best described as a wire half circle clip. The shell holder sits fairly loose in the press, does this clip provide tension to the shell holder? You mention in your video the the shell holder should have tension when pushed in. Please advise. I have not used RCBS presses before, just Wilson in-line dies. Appreciate any assistance.

Great review as usual. I want one , I better start saving my pennies 😄

[@MagnumMike44]

I like RCBS' the design of the new Rebel press and it's good to see that they did away with the priming tool that came with the Rock Chucker, which I've had for 5 years now and I've never used the priming tool, I have a separate RCBS hand priming tool that I've been using for about 25 years now and it works great. The other improvement that I like about the Rebel is the spent primer disposal mechanism, the Rock Chucker's tends to cause stoppage in the tubes that drop the spent primers into the tray every once in a while, it's not a big deal you just have to stop the process and clear the stoppage.

[@jonathonwerner5968]

I like the primer system on the rebel and the extra mass. But I actually like my supreme more. I'm one of the few that use the on primer system. I don't like greasing the ram. I've seen what grease does to a high use situation that it would endure. Unless there is a bushing Between the two to prevent wear on the frame... That's the truck mechanic in me talking. If it came with an ergo roller handle like the inline fabrication, and lighting in the frame, I'd be really interested in buying one. But I'll keep using my supreme.

[@wadelandeche8632]

Very nice strong press, it keeps thing simple! That's what I Like about single stage presses. I like to have total control and feedback as you stroke the press for each process.

[@bluecollarhunting7016]

Another interesting video, but I'm puzzled as to why resize and load those casings and not measure them for precision and runout like in the 14 press shootout vid. I don't think I'm the only one who'd be interested in those results.

[@Burris19D]

Agreed, would still love to see the numbers. I have some older presses but am thinking about picking up a new single stage for precision work. Narrowed it down to Rebel, Rock Chucker, Big Boss 2, or the Mec Marksman. Mostly leaning towards the Mec or Rebel though. From the little I've read, the numbers look great on the runout with this press but I'd love to see some real numbers compared against other presses side by side. I like to sit down and load so the summit is out. As well as the coax, which doesn't seem to produce any better runout anyways.

[@Burris19D]

While on the subject I'd love to see 2-3 presses tested side by side with and without the hornady lock-n-load bushings everyone loves. In the 14 press test the Lee and Hornady presses with the bushings had the worst numbers but I'm unsure if it's from the press or the bushings. Lots of precision loaders use them but I am skeptical.

The rock chucker is better because the linkage is cast steel. Cast is stronger than flat bar. There is not that much tonnage applied to really make a difference, since the finished cartridge is the same.

Is there any possibility we can data from this press put into the 14 press shootout data ranking? I've been eyeing this for a while and want to know how it stacks up.

[@charlied3732]

Gavin, many thanks for your videos, loved the 14 single stage press shootout. Would love to know your thoughts between the Rebel and the Big Boss 2. I’ve one issue with each of them. When loading, I mount the charged cases from the right (right hand) and place the projectile with left hand, simultaneously. The 0 degree/perpendicular O frame presses suit this. Therefore, I think this rules the Big Boss out for me, unless I can squeeze my right hand in from the left, when seat of the left side of the press. Do you think this would be possible to do? The one issue I have with the RCBS presses, including the Rebel, is it only has two fixing points, and they are centred, leaving less leverage to the front edge of the base plate and bench. Does this allow much flex on the bench in your experience?

[@Shoppincart]

I have never understood cam-over. Can you explain its purpose and why RCBS did away with it with this new press. If they did away with it, then why do it with the older press?

[@benjaminyoung2403]

I am about to jump into reloading my own ammo. I wanted to say thank you for all the information you put into your videos, and the links. Depending on price and availability i plan on the supreme or this rebel for my first press. Anyone want to comment and give me advice or hase the noob please feel free

Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today Romans 6.23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

Thanks for the overview. I am looking for my first press and seriously considering the MEC Marksman. I like the idea of the front load (so I can see what I'm doing) as opposed to a side load. However, I have never reloaded before and I'm not sure which is easier. I will start reloading .45acp and then move into 6.5 Creedmoor. Do you think the new Rebel press would be a better choice? Thanks for all the great videos! Cheers, Greg

check out this guy's video comparing 14 different presses

[@falba1492]

Greg Allen - The RCBS Summit is also an awesome press. Extremely open, and did the best as far as concentricity on the review Galvin did on 14 presses.

[@H.R.6688]

Yeah i been thinking about this since your video before.

[@iDreamOfWeenie]

would this be a good first reloading press?

[@wambsganz8]

If the Ram is as tight on the frame as I think it is, shouldn't that be a Oil Cup instead of a grease fitting?

[@2charlesbryant]

I would really like to try this big green Rebel for forming bass and keeping it straight

[@Gearsofchocolate]

With that grease fitting now installed on this newer press, just wondering what would be a good type of grease to use?

[@garrytalley8009]

Nice video I do wish you would have mentioned the option of mounting the press on a stand which is definitely better than to bench top. I too like the fact they ditched the primer system. They are always in the way and don't work as well as stand alone hand or bench primer seating methods or tools. I do hope all your subscribed people are in the drawing. Be nice to win one of those.

[@donaldwagner524]

What grease do you recommend for lubing the RCBS presses

[@kassilewis5511]

I've been using Lucas Extra Heavy Duty. It is greenish in color, lasts for what seems like forever and slick as snot.

[@russellguyton3109]

Mine appears to be factory lubed with white lithium grease. I should contact customer support to find out what type they recommend. There's probably a warranty issue should you use the wrong type of lube.

[@rachel81962]

on press priming is a big one without that people like me would have no use for it . I still run a old RCBS that I have had for 40 years no ned to buy a new one that doesn't do as much as the old one

[@kerryholifield7017]

Think I'll stay with the rock chucker I've been really happy with it

[@tacticalrabbit308]

Rcbs makes some fine reloading products I have had no issues with mine and customer service is excellent my two presses are a rockchucker and I have the little partner press too

[@josephesteves1372]

I second that about the excellent customer service.

[@russellguyton3109]

I concur.

[@johnygreen81]

Definitely looking forward to these hitting the shelf as my old single stage press just recently gave up the ghost. I won’t mention the manufacturer, let’s just say I bought it a long time ago when I was on a very tight budget. But hey it did last almost 15 years before dying.

[@Greyzonecompliant]

Was it red?

[@stevesaunders6672]

being a neophite, what is a better investment? the rebel or the summit ? and does rcbs intend to release a summit kit? thanx!

[@claywynn4507]

They installed a zerk. Whoopie! How about RCBS making a precision mike for grendel, valkyrie, creedmore? You know, some of the more popular cases and calibers out there? Does Brunswick or ATK own RCBS now? Would like to know who to write and complain to.

[@joekee5501]

just started watching your channel love it i i plain to start reloading agian years ago i had a few 10ga shot guns and reloading was a must now iplain to reload hamd gun ammo 38 357 9mm and 40sw what i realy need is help on every thing i will need to get started press and all the goodies that go with it money is low can you tell what vids you have that can help thanks and keep up the good work

[@automaticsteve9548]

I'm getting ready to start loading for a .338LM. This unit should be ideal for that caliber....a big honkin' case using a big honkin' press..

[@Greyzonecompliant]

The supreme press works fine with 338LM.

[@BrianClarkpharmd]

Friday and a new gavintoobe vid! 👍

[@Ultimatereloader]

Glad you are enjoying them!

[@Anschutz270]

Looking at this for 375H&H. My little jr3 is a little small.

[@aaronbalfour1595]

Where can I buy the mounts you're using for the Inline Fabrication to T-Track?

[@TartanJack]

I neither decap nor prime on my Rockchucker as I use a little Lee to decap and I prime on a Lee bench primer. So my Rockchucker is strictly for sizing, seating and crimping. Got it as a direct result of the 14 press shootout and I just wish I had gotten it sooner. By the way, didn't you use a Redding seating die in the 14 press shootout?

[@christophersolis3552]

I like the beefier look of rebel but I would like to see a comparison between rockchuker supreme and rebel loading a. 7mm mag or 300 mag.

[@wesleyturner1979]

Rebel, Rock Chucker S. or Redding big boss II? Who wins?

[@Burris19D]

That's a great question. Throw the Mec Marksman in there as well although it's a little different. I'm leaning towards the Rebel or Mec but keep going back and forth and have been considering the Big Boss II and RC as well. They are all great presses and I doubt even the best shooters would notice any real differences on target but I can't help but want the best since I will put a lot of time in working loads up for precision. The rebel is the only one of the list that doesn't have cam-over, which I have read both good and bad about for accuracy. It's nice having so many great press choices but it makes picking one challenging.

[@wesleyturner1979]

@@Burris19D Funny enough I got the MEC! I really like it.
