Description

This lot features an RCBS JR 2 single stage reloading press system, a heavy-duty unit designed for precision cartridge reloading. The press utilizes a robust cast-metal C-frame construction finished in the characteristic RCBS speckled green paint. The press operates via a linkage system connected to a bare steel ram and a steel handle featuring a matching green grip section. The system includes a separate, dedicated steel primer arm mechanism, marked RCBS, which attaches to the frame. Visible impressed markings on the frame confirm the manufacturer RCBS, and the model designation JR is visible on the base, consistent with the Junior series of presses. The system also includes a detached U-shaped accessory component, likely intended as a spent primer catchment tray. This press is designed to accept standard reloading dies.
No measurements are provided.


Condition report:

The ammunition is generally in good, standard condition. The factory-packaged boxes are intact with minor shelf wear consistent with storage. The loose cartridges show minimal signs of tarnish or corrosion, with primers appearing intact and seated correctly. The brass and nickel casings are bright, and the projectiles show no significant damage. This ammunition has not been function-tested, and its stability or reliability cannot be guaranteed.
