    I'm right up there with Johnny I believe I've had mine 47 years . I have wanted to get a rock chucker supreme but the original rock chucker will still be good when I'm long gone. If I listed all the presses I own I'd get called out on it and have to text Tack pictures to post for me. I've been thinking about giving Bud the old rock chucker so I would have a excuse to buy a supreme . I've always loaded rifle cal. On a single stage press but am considering setting a 1050 up for 300BLK . Here's a fun question how many of you know what RCBS is short for?

    NJC, I'll share a secret with you; Nu-Finish "The once a year car polish".

    On initial treatment I'll put a couple of ounces in the tumbler (but we have a fairly large tumbler) pour it in very slowly while the tumbler is running with no brass. Let it run a few more minutes until the clumps are gone. Then add your brass.

    Then I only add a couple of teaspoons about every third tumbler load.

    Nu-Finish has no ammonia so it won't make the brass brittle, a bottle of it lasts about four times as long as the stuff you buy from Brownells/Midway, and it keeps the brass from dulling for a surprisingly long time once it is cleaned.

    Oh, and it makes the brass look like new gold.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    I've tried it it's substantially less expensive than than the Dillon or Lyman and seems to work just as well if not better.
