    Smile Pondsness Warren loader

    I have a single stage loader with lots of parts to change to different calibers. It's set-up for 12ga now.
    I don't reload for shotgun so I really don't know anything about these.
    What would it be worth?????

    Single-stage? I've never seen a "single stage" Ponsness-Warren reloading press other than their .50 BMG rig and all their currently catalogued shotshell loaders are progressives. Got a pic or two?

    Just as a matter of info, for the last month, an old sporting clays acquaintance has been offering a (barely) used P-W 950 Elite with a full set of shot and powder bushings for $500 without so much as a nibble.

    Smile Single stage

    Maybe I'm using the wrong term.
    It's not a progressive. It loads one shell at a time. That's what I was told anyway.
    I'll see if I can remember how get a photo up. I've done it before. A long time ago.

    If its the shot shell reloader its the P W 375. Can hold 2 gauges at one time just a couple of minutes to change from one gauge to another. They quit making them a couple of years ago. I have one in 12 and 20 gauge. The prices range from 100 to 300 bucks

    Smile Worth????

    I've checked on the web for what it's worth.
    Anyware from $180.00 to $350.00.
    The one I have has a bunch of bushings, and I think two die sets.

    That's a nice press, I have one in 12 ga. and it makes good shot shells.
    From the pictues it looks like you are set up for 12 and 20 gage, plus a bunch of of powder and perhaps shot bushings and replacement wad fingers.

    Wish yours had been avalibable, when I bought mine, used.

    the 375 is the best single stage loader ever made. I use mine to make buckshot and slug loads.

    Are the dies marked?????

    First to Jim Smith. I still have it, but have someone who is interested in it. We're trying to work out the details. If he dosen't pick it up, I'll post it for sale.

    Now for the question I had.
    I was trying to see what size the dies were for this loader. None of the dies parts had any markings on them.
    Are they suppose to be marked?????
    If not, how would I tell what gauge I have.

    I don't reload for shotgun. Don't know much about shotguns. I have a Mossberg 500 for "just in case".

    Question Three die sets????

    I think I have three different gauges.
    I attached a picture of the shell holders. Hope it comes out.
    I put a quater in the picture for size comparison.
    I hope someone can tell me what I have.

    Fair price????

    I'm looking to sell this press.
    Looked through the web and found they run from $180, for a junker, to $350 for one in the same condition as the one I have.
    I'm thinking $350, with all the extra's, is a fair price.
    Any comments?????
