Also loaded thousands of .45 auto and 9mms and this press works like the first day i used it. Very durable. I like it better than my sons Rock Chucker press. **Q: What all is included?** A: Bare bones. Includes large rifle and small rifle primer plungers and plastic primer catcher. **Q: So this will reload all types of bullets? Thinking of getting into reloading and want a cheap press. Will this one do everything that I need?** A: Yes will reload most calibers except 50 bmg but, remember this is a single stage press so pistol rounds can get pretty tedious..... rifle rounds 22 hornet thru 7mag no problem. **Q: Will the rcbs primer pocket swager combo-2 work on this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/b0063idax2/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza** A: The small, lightweight cast aluminum Partner press is a very good press, but it is best used for work that is not as heavy duty as pocket swaging. I use mine primarily for decapping fired BR cases and resizing smaller cases from 22 Hornet and PPC up to 30-30. Swaging with the RCBS die is often a very heavy duty job requiring a larger press. Take a look at the comments for the RCBS swager by actual users and you will see that it is sometimes a struggle to use even with much larger cast iron presses that have more compound leverage/strength. Again, the Partner is a very good press, and it is the choice of many BR competitors who take their portable presses to the range to reload during competitions. It may not be a good choice for swaging primer pockets. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***E on 19 November 2023* This press fits my needs perfectly.
