The P-W 600 was never a popular loader, even when it was being manufactured. P-W no longer has all parts for the 800B, so I assume the same problem exists with the 600. I have used five 800Bs for more than 40 years, have no problems that I could not solve myself. I finally found I needed a part for my .410 800B that was quite expensive, so I broke out my backup .410 machine and retired the old one. Primer feed is not a problem, but some occasional tweeking needs to be done to keep them flowing. My 12 gauge 800B is on its second 100,000 on the counter. I would not recommend that anyone purchase an 800B today, because of the parts problem, even though I have never really needed any parts. On the other hand, the full length sizing dies on the 800B have always been its best feature. No other loader except the P-W 375 has this feature.
