RCBS jr 2

[65kaiser]

Is this a decent press to start out with? I am looking to load 357, 44 mag and 45 acp. i found one locally with 357 and 45 acp dies. he is asking $100 I think its a little high. Any opinions ?? Good or bad.
Thanks

Sounds fair to me .

Depends on the dies ! Brand, condition, size set, carbide???
The press would be around $40+-.

The RCBS jr is a great little press. I happen to have one on my bench that is more than 40 years old. It works just fine. A RC will have more leverage, but will cost you nearly $100 used these days.

As far as prices go, a JR2 typically goes for about $40 these days. if the dies are exactly what you need (I don't remember if you said they were carbide or not) then its in the ballpark. This assumes RCBS or equivalent quality dies.

Thats what I paid for a really clean one from E-bay about 4 weeks ago.
