It surely did this! I bought the accessory shorter handle for it which makes loading (for me) easier. BUT, I've learned that the MEC produces ammo every bit as good -- with smoother action; less bench footprint; and, as stated, came to my door at a lower price.
While I'm not about to give up my co-ax ;) -- if I could rewind the videotape of life to before I had either -- frankly, I'd just have gone with the MEC.
(Just me... some folks love only Budweiser... others have same sentiment for Miller's :))
