I don't load with an RCBS press but read about this and thought I'd share it with those of you guys that do: http://rapidcasekicker.com/rapid-case-kicker-in-action/

I emailed the guy and asked about a setup for Lee presses but he currently doesn't have anything designed for one. I think the way the Lee press is designed it wouldn't work with the way the RCBS design is currently. I did tell him I wouldn't mind buying the chute from him though. At least with the chute you could kick the brass with your finger instead of having to pull it out and toss it into the bin.
 
Nice idea. When I size/deprime I don't cycle the ram all the way down. I have another case in my hand and can slip out the sized one and slip in the next in almost one motion, then drop the sized case and pick up the next. I got pretty quick at this and think I could keep up with this case kicker. I'm left handed so maybe that helps.
 
That would eliminate my case inspection process. I inspect each case between the bin and the shell holder. Bad ones go into the trash located to the left of my position and good ones hit the shell holder.
When I use my Rock Chucker I'm loading precision ammunition and time isn't critical. If I need quantities I use the Pro 2000.

There is a similar solution available for the Lee Classic Turret. There are YouTube videos of it. It is a simple collet fitted to the vertical shaft that has a spring sticking out horizontally. Simple and effective.

I contacted the vendor, but he hasn't tested it with an RCBS Partner press, which is what I have. :( No guarantees it will work so I won't risk $30+ on it at this point. I thought it was a cool idea too.

He's supposed to be working on a universal type of kicker. I've offered to help test it on the Lee press. I'll let you know if/when I hear from him again. Seems like a good guy.

Made my own kicker over the weekend and it works like a champ. The hi-tech case catcher is a milk jug cut in half and stapled to the bench. Once I have 50-75 cases in it I unscrew the lid and the cases come right out. Not bad for free I don't think :)
