    Charlie, That is a very cool video on ole "Granny". I think RCBS wants to hire you to promote their products. The Green Machine appears to work pretty well under your watchful eye. Nice music IMHO. Keep up the good work.

    I liked the press operation and the music was ok. I prefer Cello music or loud obnoxious punk music music, but not bad.

    In the same vein I have always wanted to "tinker" with a Piggyback by RCBS. I hear they can be ornery or wonderful, depending on who you talk to and how you run them.

    Wasn’t that Seagiant?

    I don't think so. He is gone not banned. Found him on a Ford truck forum. He liked cast steel presses. Miss him.

    If you prime off the press, it MAY work IF you are careful and slow and watchful.

    I had one. I hated it. YMMV

    Have a small vacuum at the ready to pick up powder spills...they will happen as you try to speed up and forget to index the case feeder. Adding a case feeder would greatly enhance the machine. Charlie is correct about the bullet seater having some slop. Not a big deal for blasting ammunition. His method of adding the seater stem to the final crimp is a good one for target ammunition.

    There is a reason that RCBS stopped making the machine quickly after it was introduced. BTW, I had one of the early units and do not know if it was ever improved. I paid $600 for it when I was newly married and it was a lot of money back then. Worst investment I ever made on a reloader.

    What are they asking for it? Might work as a parts machine!
