The Best Value Reloading Kit? RCBS Rebel Master Reloading Kit

Only problem it has a digital and not a manual scale.

No trimmer?

So this press will not do 45-70?

That's funny.
I hated my rcbs hand primer. I gave it away. I use the rcbs bench primer

I purchased this exact kit a couple of years ago and I agree with everything mentioned in the video. Everything in the kit is really good except the scale. This digital scale will make you hate digital scales. I'm sure many digital scales are great but this one is more trouble than it's worth. I went out and purchased the RCBS M500 balance scale and I couldn't be happier with it. It is accurate and repeatable. IMO, the only time a good digital scale has an advantage over a good balance beam is for unknown weights in which case you would have to fumble with the counter weights of a balance to manually find the weight. For known weights where you are throwing powder charges, the balance beam scale is your friend. No batteries or plug in required. No warm-up time. NO issues with light or wind. If you forget what charge weight you were throwing at a particular time, just look at where the counter weights are set. Simple and effective. I wish the kit would still come with the balance beam because it works well. I can't say the same about the cheap made in china digital scale that currently comes in the RCBS kits.

Its been a long time since your last video, is everything going well for you? i hope it is !

When money is tight, Kits are the way to go in my opinion. That's how I started. When I started, I was unable to buy all the equipment I have now. Dillon 750 with auto drive, automated AMP annealer, Giraud case trimmer, and other equipment. If I took the advice "Buy the best now", I'd might have gotten frustrated with my groups. Experience is just we thing we have to go through. I always recommend a kit when money is tight. Reloading keeps you out on the range, and Trigger Time is best practice

I recently bought this kit on sale and with the $75 rebate, I only wish I had watched your video on small base vs full length sizing dies before I bought the FL dies for my .308..very helpful videos for a new reloader...thanks!

My handpriming Tool dosnt work...

New to reloading recently got the same kit. I agree the scale is awful. Do you have a recommendation for a scale?

This is the one that would get if I was starting to reload, been thinking of buying the press

Your title has a spelling error btw. 'Rebel Master'

Lyman All-American 8 is probably the most complete kit imo.

Hey man I love your videos and not trying to be a smartass, but I think you meant RCBS Rebel Master Reloading Kit. not RCBS Rebel Mater Reloading Kit. Great review

I prefer the Lyman brass smith kits myself. They come with a ton of useful stuff and are interchangeable with the three press options (for different prices of course)

Perhaps the one fault in that kit is the scale. There is still a Rockchucker kit that has the beam scale avail, but people seem to think a digital is the end all and be all, and it probably keeps the price down. Not incl the powder baffle is silly, it is a required item for throwers of any make, I use the RCBS baffle in my Redding BR3. I saw one weird comment on the Rebel so far, a fella claimed it didn't have as much leverage as a Rockchucker, which I found a wee bit unbelievable. I see they have come out with an accessory kit now too, also worth looking at.

I own this kit and am very happy with it

I wish a kit like that was available back when I started reloading- using an old Lee Loader and a beam balance.

Have a link to the reloading video you made?
