Is your PIggy; a.....>....I, II, or III ???
The I and II had a kind of "Swinging Pendulum" Rube Goldberg mechanism which was a frequent problem and DID drop powder when it shouldn't.
It also Jammed quite often and stripped the nylon indexing mechanism.

If you Have a II, you can "upgrade" it with the newer "Case Activated" powder drop mechanism ( Call RCBS ). It solves both problems.

I did that to MY II and I think I had the best of both worlds.
Indexing and reliable powder drop/no drop.

The III comes with the Case activated powder drop mechanism, but is NOT self Indexing.

All that being said, I recently pushed my Piggy to the rear of the bench and went with a Dillon 650.

5 Station
Auto Indexing
AND BOTH:
Separate Seat and Crimp
and
Space for a Powder Checker

I wanted it all.
