## Overview

The RCBS Partner Press is a compact, lightweight single-stage reloading press designed for beginners and reloaders with limited space. Featuring a durable aluminum frame, it offers reliable, precise reloading for a wide range of calibers. Its smooth operation and RCBS’s limited lifetime warranty make it a trusted choice for low-volume, high-quality ammunition reloading.

## Description

Just starting out the partner press is easy to use and incredibly durable, yet is the most affordable press in the RCBS line. Its perfect as a second press for different operations or a portable press for use at the range. Note: Accessory base plate not included.

Review: Keep it Simple - This press fits my needs perfectly. My reloading system is based on small batch, precision loads using quality components. The RCBS Partner press is the center piece in my system. I mounted it to a simple steel base plate that I clamp onto my desk in my office. It’s small enough that it doesn’t get in the way, and it’s precise enough that I can make consistently excellent loads. Using a simple 2-die full length resizing and seating process, this press provides absolute repeatability, and seats bullets with no more than .0015” total runout. For someone looking for a super simple, excellent press, this is the ticket.
Review: Single stage press - Have been using for awhile now exactly what you see. Works well and great design. Can't go wrong with RCBS products. Seller was great and trustworthy

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is anyone using this for just depriming or decapping with a universal die?**
A: I have loaded 7 calibers between .17 hornet and 45\70 over 30 years with my partner press. Also loaded thousands of .45 auto and 9mms and this press works like the first day i used it. Very durable. I like it better than my sons Rock Chucker press.

**Q: What all is included?**
A: Bare bones. Includes large rifle and small rifle primer plungers and plastic primer catcher.

**Q: So this will reload all types of bullets?  Thinking of getting into reloading and want a cheap press.  Will this one do everything that I need?**
A: Yes will reload most calibers except 50 bmg but, remember this is a single stage press so pistol rounds can get pretty tedious..... rifle rounds 22 hornet thru 7mag no problem.

**Q: Will the rcbs primer pocket swager combo-2 work on this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/b0063idax2/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza**
A: The small, lightweight cast aluminum Partner press is a very good press, but it is best used for work that is not as heavy duty as pocket swaging.  I use mine primarily for decapping fired BR cases and resizing smaller cases from 22 Hornet and PPC up to 30-30.  Swaging with the RCBS die is often a very heavy duty job requiring a larger press.  Take a look at the comments for the RCBS swager by actual users and you will see that it is sometimes a struggle to use even with much larger cast iron presses that have more compound leverage/strength.  Again, the Partner is a very good press, and it is the choice of many BR competitors who take their portable presses to the range to reload during competitions.  It may not be a good choice for swaging primer pockets.

*by L***E on January 3, 2017*

I purchased the Partner press to supplement my RCBS Rockchucker press for general work that helps to avoid some of the die changes that slow down production with the main press. I mounted the Partner on a base that I clamp to the bench top and so far I have used it to deprime fired cases, full-size fired PPC cases and expand new case necks for neck turning. Because of its light weight, compact size and portability, the Partner is an excellent choice to take to the range for resizing while developing loads. Especially because of its price point, the Partner is a "best buy" for new reloaders as well as experienced reloaders with a need for a second press, but I gave it four stars instead of five because I have trouble with the spent primer catcher. It works, if it stays in place, but is easily dislodged, causing the primers to fall to the floor. I gave up and put a bucket on the floor under the press to catch the primers. That works.
