Great so now if I want an RCBS product I have to wait a year for it to be in stock. Seems to be the ongoing issue with Hodgdon powder the last decade or so.

All of these mergers are not in the interest of consumers. That said, I probably have all of the RCBS gadgets I will ever need. I used up all of my left over Hogdon powder last year with no plans to use it again.

Looks like it's made here:
The Rock Chucker Supreme is made in America according to the webpage for the press. See the bullet points on this page Rock Chucker Supreme Press | RCBS

It also states on their website that over 97% of their products are made in America. See the bottom of this page from their website. About Us | RCBS

Some have complained that they had issues with parts breaking on their Rock Chucker Supreme. RCBS seems to replace broken parts without an issue. Maybe the new merger will lead them to looking into whatever the problem is with the press.

Mergers make me nervous. You never know if it will make a company better or worse.
