Cubic ton?! That should last you awhile. Have had success with loading the “short” 8? Did you get your PW tooling from Bruce set up?

Should have the PW press soon. Dave had a few tweaks he had to make. I did get a bracket to stiffen up the MEC and a new decap/resize die for the MEC too. Bruce made them. That press works much better now.

Get Jr to retool a PW LS-1000 to 8 gauge ! That would be awesome having a progressive 8 gauge loader !

You supply the press and pay for the upgrade and he can do it.
