Three bags of shot wholesale are a touch over $120 . Four pounds of Solo 1000 I would think were about $90 wholesale .

Got the PW 600 home and set up. Been running it beside my old 76 Grabber. Either one does the job and both loaders have there quiks. The PW seems to require less effort on the handle, and turn out a more consistent shell. Way it supports the case as they go around I suppose.

It does have the disavantage of not being able to remove a shell until it's finished. My Grabber when loading spreaders remove after I charge with shot stick the spreader in with my thumb then put the shell back in for crimping. Going to have to figure out how to do it on the 600

Ablity to cut off the shot and powder hoppers on the PW seperate is a nice feature, as is the hopper dump ablity.

Think I am going to keep the Ponseness sell off the Grabber. Keep my eyes open for a PW 375 for one off jobs like the spreader shells.
