A buddy gave me a 12ga reloading press the other day and I'm trying to find out a bit about it.It looks like a progressive type as I have 3 MEC 600's.No owner's manual etc..........I think it's a 12 ga? Anyone else own or used one?.........Harold
 
The PW 375 is not a progessive loader it's single stage. Quite likely the best single stage loader out there. Call PW and see if you can get a manual for it from them.
 
My dad has had one for over 30 years. IIRC he paid around $275 for it back around 1975, that was big money back then. I can't even imagine how many thousands of shotgun shells it has loaded.
 
I have a Duomatic model 375 as well, I even have the faded instructions. Anyone used one of these before? I am interested in loading some shot shells but this thing is way more complicated than my old rock chucker. Wondering if there is experience here I can turn to when I do get into trouble.
 
I have two of these, set up for 12/16/20/28 gauges, they make the absolutely best shell reloads, they also make 2 1/2" shells for reloading for some of the ol' timers, game shells you can't get any more, E-mail Posness- Warren and they'll supply an instruction book, have fun, regards Bully
 
I have one, bought used and it was ancient. I was really impressed with PW's parts department, they had all the stuff I needed to upgrade it to the most modern components, ( taper crimp die, new sizer chamber, etc.) including new manual. makes by far the best shells of any other loader I've owned and used ( Mec, Hornady, Lee) I find that it will even make good loads from the thin & flimsy promo hulls that most other people throw away. The full case support during all operations does pay dividends.
One other thing - all standard bushings like the ones for Hornady loaders will fit the PW, if you can get other bushings cheaper, you can use them.
You're going to like you new loader.
