Here are my observations.
Ive identified 2 presses 1. RCBS Rebel press 2. RCBS RC 2 , Supreme
Supreme press has the primer seating arm that can work with ejection flawlessly, but it too needs the custom knuckle and pair of steel links to make it strong enough. If the idea is to control the costs, then a threshold has to be set so that budget X doesn't fly close to the price of commercially available press systems. And budget X has to be used as a benchmark. This shall also include the cost of the die and punch system. 1-1/4"-12 adapters give us more space to work with as compared to 7/8"-14 setup.
Or a design decision has to be made to offer a solution that keeps the press bone stock, but has the functionality as desired. with an exception to add the slotted Ram to the Rebel press.

- one of the things we must make peace with is the fact that the knuckle ratio has to be altered, as in the distance between the pivots have to be moved closer so as to make it more accessible.
- secondly the "Zerk Fitting" on the rebel press can be used to certain extent without extensive machining to the Rebel press. making the ejector pin viable
- Rebel press will need a machined ram for the specific application.
