Brand Continues Legacy of American-Made Reloading Gear<\/em><\/center><\/p>\n

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. \u2013 September 26, 2023 \u2013 RCBS\u00ae, the leading manufacturer of ammunition reloading equipment for rifles and pistols, is celebrating its anniversary this year, marking eight decades of equipping handloaders with trusted, American-made reloading gear.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter 80 years of operation, RCBS is still delivering top quality reloading products backed by world class customer service,\u201d said Justin Smith, product line manager for RCBS. \u201cThe\u00a0brand has never lost\u00a0the\u00a0essence that Fred championed back in 1943 and\u00a0the\u00a0men and women in Oroville today truly do bleed green. You\u2019ll be hard pressed to find another group who cares more about\u00a0the\u00a0quality of products\u00a0they produce and\u00a0the\u00a0consumers who depend on\u00a0them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The RCBS story began in 1943 in the backroom of Fred T. Huntington\u2019s father\u2019s laundry and dry-cleaning business in Oroville, California. A dedicated shooter, Huntington sought to make his own high-quality .22 caliber bullets for shooting local varmints known as rock chucks. He designed and crafted his own \u201cRock Chuck Bullet Swage\u201d dies, a name later shortened to RCBS.<\/p>\n

In the decades following becoming a business, RCBS rapidly grew from a small shop into the nation\u2019s leading maker of reloading equipment. Now using state-of-the-art equipment in large manufacturing facilities, RCBS has stayed near its roots in Oroville.<\/p>\n

Product manager and R&D engineer, Steve Koch, has witnessed RCBS meteoric rise firsthand. He\u2019s been with the company for over half its lifetime and knows personally how passionate the employees are in Oroville.<\/p>\n

\u201cWow, 80 years, a lot has changed. I\u2019m very proud to say that I\u2019ve spent 45 years at this great establishment,\u201d said Koch. \u201cEveryone is extremely proud of what we have here in Oroville. The pride and dedication of the people that produce, assemble and package the finest reloading equipment in the world is the key to our success. Quality is the RCBS motto, and we will continue to ensure we provide our customers with the finest reloading equipment possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

In honor of the brand\u2019s 80th anniversary, RCBS will soon be introducing a limited-edition Summit\u2122 single stage reloading press. The American-made press will feature a special red, white and blue design, and will be limited to only 1,000 pieces. Interested patrons should stay tuned to RCBS social media channels and the brand website for more information on the upcoming release date.<\/p>\n
