Old School Progressive

I thought I'd see if anyone besides me is still using one of these contraptions. It's a RCBS Piggyback II conversion unit. I married this thing back in --- thirty some years ago, instead of spending more money on a totally dedicated progressive such as a Dillon. I won't call it one of my better decisions.
The idea was to make use of the Rock Chucker press, and Uniflow powder measure that I already had, and save two or three hundred bucks. I think this unit cost me a hundred bucks or so.
I leave it set up for 38/357, and do OK with it, but I know that it's pretty clumsy and slow compared to the newer outfits. I can crank out 200 per hour with it --safely. Could probably speed that up, but I'd be livin on the edge.
If anyone's got one, chime in and we'll compare notes. jd
