Too much red wine?

To much meat and bourbon I think. Drove back from Georgia with it and could barely walk. Not a fun drive but a great quail hunt

I went to Ponsness Warren presses thirty years ago and never looked back. I gave away a couple of my MEC presses and felt bad for the people that I gave them to. The last three MEC presses burnt up in a fire in my shop in 2015. The insurance didn't pay me much for them but then again I didn't think they were worth much.
Of course your mileage may vary. Just my $0.02 worth.

Geez, what's with all the hate for MEC 600s?? I run them, 1 each for 2 7/8" 10g, 2 1/2" 12g, 2 1/2" 16g, 2 1/2" 20g, 2 1/2" 28g, 3" .410. Even use a Lee Load-All for 12g black powder. Also have a MEC Sizemaster and a MEC Hull Conditioner. All run like a raped ape. I have a Spolar Gold with heads for 12, 20, 28 and .410 if I need high volume production. None of the MEC were purchased new. I won't get in to the metallic presses. If you keep the MEC presses clean and all the linkages lubed there's no problems. Biggest issue I have is the wad guide fingers breaking. Cheap and simple fix though.

PW and Spolar progressives are awesome machines. When I would load shells for practice and tourneys for 12g, I'd have my son or wife set the wad on the wad guide and we could crank out 1000 shells an hour when we were in sync. The MECs are great but I only do maybe 4 boxes at a time so the high volume doesn't matter especially when all of my MEC presses combined cost about as much as the current cost of 1 Spolar toolhead gauge change!!
That all said we do have a client here who has a PW for sale. I'll get more info from him. Think he said around $300. |

9000+ shells. That's how many you can load on a single stage MEC in a year if you spend + or - 12 minutes a day and load a box of shells. I am going to venture that is more than the average person shoots.
