I currently have a Rock Chucker. I understand that it is upgradable to progressive with the Piggy Back III. I have pondered this thought to increase output. Any thoughts or experience with this addition? I haven't seen any word about it either way.

Thanks for your comments,

I have the Piggy Back II and love it. I can use the Rock Chucker on rifle ammo in single stage and the Piggy Back II for pistol in the progressive mode, the best of both worlds. The Piggy Back III I believe has removable tool heads but I'm not sure. If it does then it would be a lot better as you wouldn't have to remove your dies all the time. The instruction book that came with my PB II was detailed and had good pictures to show how to setup and operate. I'm totally satisfied with mine and wouldn't hesitate to buy one again if need be.

I recently got this setup.the only real headache is the aps primers,in the strips.if you cannot get them locally,you'll need to make some.for me they are faster/easier to load into the strips by hand,then using the $50 tool included with the conversion.longer/larger cases work best,as 9mm ect dont have enough cartridge lengh to easily allign the cases and dies like the longer cases.all in all you should be able to increase your speed greatly,visually check powder charge,place bullet in case,add a fresh case to open station and operate handle to complete a round.the only other drawback for me is having to use some steel dies which require tumbling after using the lube in the decapping die.

Thanks for your words of wisdom and comments. I figured someone had to own this system. That's exactly what I had in mind with getting the Piggy Back system. I'll continue to load my rifle rounds on the Rock Chucker and load more pistol rounds on the upgrade in less time. This will help me keep up with my pistol shooting addiction
