RCBS SUMMIT RELOADING PRESS, Product Instructions

Page: 4 / 12

INTRODUCTION
The Summit Reloading Press moves the die to the case, which allows for a unique
open design. Its 4-1/2-inch window opening provides unlimited access to the car -
tridge case, and a compound leverage linkage system requires less effort while resiz-
ing cartridges cases. A 4-1/4-inch stroke length lets reloaders seat bullets in even
the longest cartridges. The Summit’s Die Plate provides 3 inches of bearing surface
on a massive 2-inch-diameter ram, which is guided by the plate’s two rear alignment
pins. The Die Plate can use quick-change adapters and utilizes a removable 7/8”-14
threaded bushing that allows for the use of a 1”-14 bushing with larger Safari Series
dies. All Summit Reloading Press components (except the Primer Catcher) are made
of cast iron and steel to provide a lifetime of reloading pleasure. A zerk fitting has been
added to the press so the user can lubricate the Die Plate/Ram interface. The press
has an ambidextrous handle design and can be mounted flush with the edge of a
reloading bench or up to 2-1/2 inches back from the front.
ACCESSORIES
The Primer Catcher keeps spent primers from dropping to the floor and is easily
removed for emptying.
UNPACKING
Unpack the press carefully and look for the items listed below. Refer to the parts list
for identification.

INSTALLATION
Mount the Summit Reloading Press to a sturdy work -
bench or table with two 3/8” bolts of sufficient length
to penetrate the press base and bench. The Summit
Reloading Press may also be mounted to an optional
Accessory Base Plate II, #09280, sold separately.
Attach the threaded portion of the handle to either the
right or left side of the toggle block and lock down
using a 9/16” open end wrench in the flats provided
on the handle. See Photo 1.
The handle must remain tight at all times to avoid
damage to the handle or toggle block. An optional
Short Handle, #09291, is available for bullet seating in
the Summit Reloading Press.
Install the 2 – 6-32 x 3/8” Button Head Cap Screws
into the two holes in the front of the press base using
a 5/64” hex key wrench. Leave approximately 1/16”
between the screws and the front of the press base.
