Now that competition skeet is behind me I find myself with a slew of reloading equipment that's of no use. 2 9000's, one for 28 and one for 410 and a PW 20ga (I think it's a sizemaster 900 rebuilt with all the new bells and whistles). All of my current reloading needs will be short-chambered 16/12. I will set up two loaders for these uses, probably a pair of PW 375's or the 600 MEC.
Do any of you have experience with the PW 375?
Is anyone interested in the above equipment? |

I have found the PW 375 to meet all my needs. Hunting with a mix of trap and sporting clays. I reload 2 3/4 in. hulls so I am not sure of the adjustment requirements for shorter shells. The 375 is a well made machine that will last a life time. You can always call Idaho and find out about short shell capabilities. I have found them at gun shows and have set up one per gauge. I hate setting up everytime I change reloading needs.
Best,
Ron |

I have a 375 set up for 16 and love it. Nicest looking shells I've ever loaded.
You can set up one turret head for 2 different gauges, which allows for very minor adjustments during changeover.
One head set up for 12 and 16 is a logical combo.

Hoashooter,
Yes they are for sale or I'd rather trade for PW 375.
PM for details.
Thanks, |

I have been using a PW 375 for 16ga and it does a beautiful job on the crimps. It was originally set up for 12ga but I bought the 16ga kit for it. I use a PW 800B for 12ga and it also does a great job.
