While I don't disagree with you the first loader I ever owned and used was a used Ponsness Warren 800B 12 gauge followed very shortly with the other three skeet gauges in PW 800's .

It's almost as if I reverted going from the PW's to 600's and now a menagerie of 600's Sizemasters , 650's , Grabbers and 9000's !
