With the buck ball slug loads I wanna take the shell out of the die then seat shot or whatever . Then put it on the drill press and roll crimp . This is the ONE area I think the MEC is more suitable than a PW and this coming from a die hard PW fan for over forty years .

If you have a gentle touch, you can charge the shell with shot or whatever, go to the last station before crimping, skip the crimping station, and push the shell out at the shell removal station. The crimp area shouldn't be damaged because the 375 has a full length sizing die.
