With the Rock Chucker you can add the Piggy Back (progressive) later.

The important thing to keep in mind is you need to learn how to build quailty reloads before opening the throttle with a progressive. you screw up here and you will have a bag of parts which used to be your pistol. Miss a double charge and it's the end of your pistol and hope you don't get hurt.

A while back I read and don't remember which board it was, a guy Loaded 1K of 223 only to find out he had missed up. I don't know about any of you but taking apart 1K of 223 is not my idea of a good time.

Some people could maybe handle a progressive and learn how to do things correctly while others should never even come close to a reloading press. If you have a reloading mentor who has run a progressive then it's a whole different story. If you are like me read the book and did it, then I would more careful.

By the way I'm still using most of the RCBS kit I bought 20 + years ago.
