Quick question for the rifle reloaders.....
I bought a used RCBS JR press on the cheap...disassembled it, cleaned it up, sprayed on a couple coats of primer and "RCBS green", gave it a good lubing, and it's good as new. I've been using it primarily to decap brass with the Lee Universal Depriming and Decapping Die.....has worked GREAT so far for that purpose.
I want to also use this press to resize my 5.56/.223 brass with the RCBS AR Series Small Base Resizing Die.
Here's the question....is this press "beefy" enough to handle the leverage required to resize 5.56/.223 brass with an AR Series full-length, small-base resizing die?
Been looking at other "more recent" RCBS single stage presses, but really don't want fo spend the $$ if I don't have to if the JR press will work.
Thanks for any input!!!
