shop on his way to or from a hunt. On one stop we were both complaining about the fact that RCBS had recently been bought out by that big conglomeration and lots of things had been dropped that shouldn't have. A day or so before that I had called RCBS about a part for the 4 X 4 press. The lady said they never made such a thing. I told her I was looking right at it, but she was adamant that RCBS never made such a press. Talking to her I found out that she was new and knew zilch about the products. The 4 X 4 had been renamed something else and was no longer the 4 X 4 press. She didn't tell me this, Fred did and he sent me the part I needed when he got back to his shop.

If I am not mistaken that was about the time that the 2000 press was dropped along with several other items that I thought were neat items for the reloader. Unfortunately progress isn't always progress. It's sometimes "let's drop those and make something that looks like it cheaper".
