Many years ago I had a Piggy Back one and two, both had 5 positions. that means nothing to anyone today but back then I could seat on one position and crimp on another. And then one day I decided to visit Dillon; they suggested I purchases their RL550 press with Dillon dies.
I explained to them if I had to start over on dies I would keep my old presses, I explained to them I used a lock-out die, to use a lock out die I had to have 5 positions because I seated on one position and crimped on another.
They gave me permission to use their press and my dies but still I will not load on a progressive press without a lock-out die.
