I’d much rather have PW progressives for everything from the 10 to the 410 , however I can’t find them on the used market as economically as the Rube Goldberg 9000’s of which I have them for all gauges 12 to 410 and hence the reason I have backup 9000’s in 12 and 28 . As well as back up Grabbers in 20, 28 and 410 as well as a back up 650 in 16 . It goes without saying I have way way more than even the advanced shooter/Reloader needs . However when you get them reasonably it’s a rather inexpensive insurance policy for someone that quite often gets in a hurry and doesn’t like breaking down in the middle and needing to work on something. This way if one gives me a problem two thumb screws pick it up and change for another .
