I first pulled the handle on a MEC loader somewhere around 1965. That was on a model 210, in the years since I've owned & used a 650, grabber, sizemaster and a 9000.
Then I did the mistake of getting a PW-375 and never looked back. Once you've driven a Cadillac it's really hard to think about going back to a Ford Pinto. I have two 375's set-up on my bench which can load 28's through 12's being as each press has two different gauge tool heads which can be swapped over in a matter of a few minutes. One press does 12's & 16's the other 20's & 28's. I'm not bashing MEC in any way, they are proven great presses, but the PW's simply are a step above them at the next level.
Another mistake I made was I bought two PW progressive presses and have never set them up because I like the 375's so much. I really should list them in the for-sale section & pass them on to someone who could use them.
