Deep Creek Rock

Way to score, Todd S! Loading .357 is a perfect caliber to get the hang of reloading.
Were the dies carbide? Those you don't have to lube the case to use.
Bikebreath is right .. if the dies are carbide, as most newer pistol dies are, they do not need to be lubed.
RCBS carbide dies, come in a grey box. The older, and I believe obsolete, steel RCBS pistol dies come in a green box. There are still a few non carbide RCBS steel pistol dies floating around - but thats old stock.
The Rockchucker is a fine press. I still use an older Rockchucker II, and have no plans to change it.
Did you get a Rockchucker II or a Rockchucker III. The III has an interchangable handle mount holes on the block(can mount it for a lefty or rights on the same block) The II can only be mounted in the single hole for a righty - which I am.
