With a PW 800 or 1000 that cycles 10 gauge 2 7/8" shells smoothly 600 shells and hour should be no big deal

I thought I was a high volume short ten shooter, I average probably 1000 rounds a year. Half of that at crows, most of the other half at clays and maybe 100 rounds at waterfowl. I have found it pretty easy to stay supplied using a single stage 10ga MEC. How many rounds of short ten are you shooting annually and at what?

I would say I shoot maybe 500-750 rounds a year of the 10 gauge and it's mostly skeet , trap and Jap Trap . Sometimes I might take it on a dove shoot thats no more then 50 rounds . Also some buckshot !

I just like PW equipment !

But regardless of whether I was able to get a PW 800/1000 I would still need a PW 375 or 600JR for buck loads and possibly slug loads if I ever get around to that !

Loading buckshot on a PW 800 is a capital PITA .

Since I got that little 600JR 16 gauge loader I'm now wishing I'd gotten a 650 instead so I could knock 100-200 of them out quick . But then it would be difficult for the buck loads .

You gotta understand my FIRST shotgun loaders were PW 800B's and 800C's so ANY single stage loader seems slow to me .

I may be the only shotgun shooter in history that started out with the Rolls Royce of shotgun loaders and then went to the Ford Pinto of shotgun reloaders !

Incidently I've not gotten a reply from PW about making me a short 10 800 or 1000 loader !
