I know Larry Frey uses a Posness Warren but I don't know the model number. He tells about the virtues of the PW whenever he discuses reloading. Larry showed me the PW a week ago and I wish I had one. I'll be using a MEC 600 as soon as I get my reloading bench set up (soon I hope).

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.

PW makes a fine press. Can't go wrong with PW or Spolar if you want a high volume progressive.
