Nice looking press. My first shotshell reloader was a single stage Texan. Never could understand why MEC put them out of business, if indeed that's why they "closed up shop". I loaded thousands of shells on that old black Texan.

Thanks for the pics Frank, I'd never seen a Texan progressive.

That thing looks like it may have been the predecessor to the PW 600 .
