In the course of its 77-year history, RCBS has grown from one man’s hobby to a reloading industry leader. When varmint hunting enthusiast Fred T. Huntington began crafting dies just for his personal use in the back of his father’s Oroville, California laundromat, he probably didn’t imagine that in just five short years he would be running his own full-time shop. It would’ve been more unimaginable if he’d known that within ten years after that, he’d have to relocate to a 7500 square foot full-scale manufacturing facility that would eventually grow to over 50,000 square feet. With a series of continued expansions and acquisitions, RCBS now stands at the forefront of the reloading industry, propelled by three-quarters of a century of success. With the following July 22nd press release, they’ve released five new kits designed to be all-in-one solutions, to help simplify the meeting of their customers’ needs.

OVERLAND PARK, Kansas –– RCBS, the leading manufacturer of ammunition reloading equipment for rifles and pistols, announced today it has commenced shipping of five new product kits designed to simplify the needs of both novice and professional reloaders while reducing cost.

The four new reloading kits plus one case prepping kit feature the essential equipment needed to begin common reloading projects. The new kits have been designed to save users both time and money by providing them with a well-rounded assortment of tools without the added hassle of purchasing individual pieces.

“As more people look to reloading to solve their ammunition needs, there is a growing request to help simplify the tools needed for those getting started or to upgrade their current equipment list,” said Will Hemeyer, Senior Product Manager for RCBS. “The newest kits from RCBS offer a considerable cost savings and were specifically designed to assist these reloaders by providing them with all of the essential gear they need while saving time in the process.”
