Ponsness-Warren Help Request
 

Unfortunately I spilled some #8 shot over my Size-O-Matic 900 and now it is jammed up tight.
There are no disassembly instructions in the owners/user’s manual and I need to know the steps I need to follow in order to take it apart and clean the shot out of the mechanism.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I googled your loader and found that you can download the manual for free. If it is the same one you have no use to you. I will look at Shotgun world reloading forum to see if anything there.

My search there turned up nothing of use.

Dean,
Give them a call. They offer technical assistance and are very nice folks in my experience.

Dean - I have taken P/Ws apart and successfully put them back together. It is a big job to take them down completely and re-assemble/adjust. I would try not to disassemble more then necessary. Can you jiggle the handle and try to figure out where it is jammed. Failing to do that, I would take the shot/powder hopper off and look at the rack and circular gears. Shot could have gotten in there and caused the mechanism to lock up. The next thing I would look at is if something blocking the crossbar from moving. You can call be if you want to discuss further Billy Gross 703/753-8613.

P.S. Drain the powder and shot before you do anything. Also manually try to jiggle the turn table, something could have that jammed. Will the cross bar move up and down at all?

Right - that’s what got me into this mess in the first place....

No, nothing in the gear mechanism, thanks.

Well, the lady at PW was very nice and gave me step by step directions... now let’s see how good I am at following them.

Thanks to all.

If the gears are clear, I would try to see if something is blocking the rotation. If you don't see anything, the next thing to do is to take the tool head off. There are two screws on top of the posts to remove. You may have to then lever the tool head up. Billy

Also, try to see if something is blocking the pull arm from coming down. Billy
