Well I finally got it. I've been doing my homework, checking prices, and picking the collective brain here for long enough. I was going to wait untill I got back home, but I couldn't pass this up.

A new Rockchucker press and a slightly used piggyback 2 conversion kit for a grand total of $192.00 (that's with 12.00 s&h, to bring up an old thread).

I was wondering if maybe one of you were faliliar with the piggyback system? I was focusing predominantly on single stage presses for starters, so I don't know too much about this model. I know that RCBS is on their 3rd model now, it may be an option to e-mail them. Am I correct in assuming that this is for pistol cartridges only?

Thanks, Ferg

    I had a Rock Chucker with the Piggyback attachment, didn't like it at all. If you want a quality, reliable, easy to use, fast reloading press, go with the Dillon 550. Its versatile, and I use it to load pistol, revolver and rifle rounds. You can't beat a Dillon. I have tried RCBS Auto 4X4, LEE, Lyman T-Mag, and the Dillon 550 is the fastest, simplest and comes with the best tech support and warranty in the business.

    Single stage presses are great if you want to load twenty rounds of rifle rounds every few months, but the Dillon 550 is much quicker. You can use the Dillon 550 as a single stage and do one task at a time till you get the feel of things, then you can use it as a progressive and speed things up considerably!
