Have a chance to purchase a ponsness warren press. My question is, are these presses set up to load a specific lenth case or are they adjustable. For example 2 3/4 to 2 1/2 in cases. if they are not adjustable is their some kind of a kit like a short kit. The press is a 375c single stage. The seller dosn"t now lenth case the press is set up for. Only that is a 12ga. Thanks in advance for any help.

The 375 can be modified for 2 1/2" cases. Check the website for short shellholder or make your own.

So I am understanding this properly the sleve makes the only difference. And what website, or you refering to a thread on this forum. Thanks for the help.

I don't know what other changes are made, but you do need to shorten your shell sizer or buy one. The website I refer to is the PW website. I went on the website and find that they don't make the 375 any more and don't give a lot of information on the tooling. Call their 800 number and talk to them. They know everything on the phone.

To load 2 1/2" shells on a P-W 375 loader set up for 2 3/4" shells is that the sizing die needs to be shortened to accommodate the shorter shell (or you can order one directly from P-W for $35) and the pre-crimp needs to be lowered.

Thank you. I had already called PW and that is exactly what they told me.
