I can guarantee you without a doubt it’s going to work better than a damn Rube Goldberg MEC . However if I were so inclined to get a 375 tooled up I’d still need to keep the 600JR for buck slugs etc . Unless my memories shot you cannot take the shell out easily in between stations on a 375 which I need to be able to do when loading buck ball or slug .

You can't take the shell out. You take the whole die out with the shell in it, easy peasy.

Craig, I was having a hard time with my new PW tooled 12 ga loader that I bought back in December with removing the shell at the final station. I sent the resizer back to PW along with the shells that I was reloading, some AA's and Rem Sts at PW's request. They reamed out my sizing dye so everything works very smoothly now.

With the buck ball slug loads I wanna take the shell out of the die then seat shot or whatever . Then put it on the drill press and roll crimp . This is the ONE area I think the MEC is more suitable than a PW and this coming from a die hard PW fan for over forty years .

If you have a gentle touch, you can charge the shell with shot or whatever, go to the last station before crimping, skip the crimping station, and push the shell out at the shell removal station. The crimp area shouldn't be damaged because the 375 has a full length sizing die.
