I've been reloading on P-W 375s for over five decades now, they are extremely well-built robust machines. When my father gave up reloading with his four P-W's, an 800B, an 800C and two 900's I ended up with all four and sold them preferring the 375s. I typically only load approx. 2500-4000 rounds of shells/year. (If I shot more than I do I would probably would have kept my father's progressive machines). I have a shooting buddy that loads on 4 MEC 9000's that let me try them out. Comparing the P-W machines to the comparatively lighter weight stamped parts of the MEC's it felt as if the metal would bend on the MECs every time I pulled the handle. I realize the MEC machines are proven and load a good shell, however; they're just not for me.
My two Ponsness-Warren 375s, one set up for reloading 28ga. & .410, the other for 12 & 20ga.
