Converted PW in 8g

[Steve Hodges]

Craig, I was having a hard time with my new PW tooled 12 ga loader that I bought back in December with removing the shell at the final station. I sent the resizer back to PW along with the shells that I was reloading, some AA's and Rem Sts at PW's request. They reamed out my sizing dye so everything works very smoothly now.

Challenge accepted! Give me time. I need to adjust that line as it doesn’t fit the 5-7-5 structure

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.

Has Dave established a price to convert a PW 375 to 8ga??

Not yet, I recommend if you're interested to contact him. Bruce Ducksworth (PGCA member too) also does conversions.

What a sweet set-up!

I commend both the owner of the press & the man who did the machine work to make the dies for it. This takes a lot of dedication & passion to see an idea based on your passion for shooting the eight-gauge come to fruition in the manner this did.

Mike-Here's a tip of my hat too you! Those shells look awesome!! Job well Done

I would like to contact Mr. D. about the conversion. Two guys with the same name in the member list. What is the contact information and how does Mr. D. like to be contacted? Thanks.
