    RCBS Piggyback Progressive Press Conversion

    I'm testing the water here. Anybody familiar with or using one of these units? jd
    It seems that people who do almost nothing, often complain loudly when it's time to do it.

    I've had one since they first came out. They have their issues but I can do 150 rounds an hour if I try hard. I'm coordination challenged and bull headed sometimes.

    The hard part is getting parts since the have been discontinued for some time. The primer return springs tend to disappear so you should tie a 12" piece of dental floss to it. The nylon indexing bushing takes a beating when you start using it so you should have 5 or 6 spares.

    The powder measure link alignment needs to be monitored as it does not always lock out if you forget a case and will dump powder all over the place that you have to stop and clean.

    But other than that it works pretty good and beat dropping a 800 bucks on a Dillon that I might use every 6 months.

    Got nothing against Dillon but my shooting habit won't support a dedicated progressive.
