The RCBS Green Machine was their failed attempt to grab market share for an inline progressive pistol caliber reloader. It competed with the Hornady inline and the existing Star progressive loaders then available a generation ago. This was in the early days before Dillion became established.

I had two of these one in .38/357 and another in 9mm. When the timing was correct and the press was clean it would load ammo very fast. The timing was the issue if it went out of time forget it. I sold them both about 8 years ago and bought a pair of Dillon's. Glad I did.

I still have mine in .38/.357 bought in the early 1990s. After much experimentation and adjustment, I discovered that they were VERY touchy for timing and cleanliness. They were capable of high speed production, but with all the time spent adjusting, clearing jams, and cleaning up spilled powder, crushed primers, etc, they were no faster and whole lot less reliable than using a single station or turret press and loading in batches. I still use mine, but not for the sizing/decapping/priming operations. As for worth, I've seen a couple languishing in the used reloading section of two gunshops for the last several years. Apparently the word has gotten out that even at the sale price of $200, they were no bargain.
