2 5/8 inch on a P-W 375
Critique my plan, tell me if you think it will work.
I load 20 & 16 on a PW 375 both 2 ¾ inch hulls. Guns are Trojans with 2 5/8 inch chambers, light loads never a problem. Now I have a 16 G Twist 0 Frame Hammer Gun that probably would be better off with 2 5/8 inch hulls. Been roll crimping, like to fold crimp. I know a Mec 600 is the easy way to load short, I use one for my 2 7/8 inch 10 G but don’t want to do that for 16.
Lot easier for me to use the dual gauge P-W for 20 & 16
I have a extra pair of the verticle main operating post from a junk machine. I can cut them 1/8 inch shorter, switch with the post on the machine now and when operating the machine everything comes down 1/8 inch. Operations from the bottom of the hull are not length critical. Pulling the operating lever you can stop short or throw longer. Dies I am using are the Taper Crimp. They leave ¾ inch of the Hull exposed, If the machine is shorter, 5/8 inch will still be exposed. Pre Crimp, Crimp, & wad station all adjustable.
No changes to the cam or link
Call P-W they won’t give opinion, Is it going to work ?
