    Default Redding equipment is US-made

    This was news to me. Redding reloading equipment is US-made. It states in their advertising that the steel used is US, the castings are made in Pennsylvania and the equipment used to create their products is also American. Love my Rockchucker, but it is Chinese cast. Wish I had known.

    Most all my stuff is old and I'm pretty sure it's made in USA.

    RCBS has an on going problem with their Chinese made junk castings with lots of them having air pockets in them the can case the press to snap. I no longer buy RCBS products even if they are one of the only ones making something I could use. I will go with American made products only. Lee,Redding,Lyman get my dollars and no longer RCBS as how long will it be before all of the line is made there.

    One thing about the Oriental mind, is that they are in no big hurry to dominate. Take a little, take a little there, before you know it, they are everywhere. Do you know how much U.S. real estate China owns? How many banks they own outright or at least control? Try to find a product not made in China; it's alot harder to do today than it was just 20 years ago. Remember 50+ years ago during the immergence of Japanese products? Today, Japan has top of the line stuff. China will dominate the world economy, but, not today or even next year. They are here and they mean to stay.

    I saw a Japanese tire, Toyo Tire, with Made in China on it.

    More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.

    If you want a RCBS thats U.S. made why not shop around at gun shows, yardsales and such until you find a good used one? Both of my presses are RCBS one a JR was bought new and the Rock Chucker was bought from a yard sale and was almost new.

    Still have my RCBS Jr. press that I got over 30 years ago, made in the good old USA, Still putting out the rounds, will probably be in my estate sale one of these years.
