Anyone here have or use one of these things. I came across one in a garage of a place I coyote hunt. Are they decent ? Common? Easy to use? I have only loaded on single stages before. She said its all there in the 3 boxes and it did work great. Any idea how many shells it can do an hour? Any info would be greatly useful before I drag this thing home thanks
size o matic 800b progressive loader

The 800b's need a few hundred dollars worth of upgrades to turn them into an 800plus, which is the current PW model. I think a new 800 plus is worth about $900. The Hydraulics add quite a bit of value, but I don't know how much, most companies including PW have gone to electric drive systems instead of hydraulic, and they run around $800.
That is all approximately new prices.
If you shoot much for 12 gauge you'll probably find it a very useful machine.

Buy it and use it as is if all the parts are there. I have a 600 now because I don't shoot much shotgiun but had the 800 when I was skeet shooting. There is no better made progressive shotshell loader and you can load 100s of thousands of rounds and nothing goes wrong. Ponsness still sells parts for the 800s, so support should be no problem if there are parts missing.
