I almost bought it,but I dont collect presses. I bought a new T-mag lyman not too long ago.Originally Posted by jmortimer

That looks a lot a PW 375. It is a shot shell loader. Very nice rig. Usually has tooling for two gauges. If it has all the toolin, that is a great deal. Google PW-375 and you will get tons of hits.
It's a Metal-Matic P200. Not sure it's in production anymore. I have one I bought ...a long time ago. Designed for pistol cases only. I have loaded 7TCU and 7BR on it, but neck sizing only.
I havent watched TV in 2 years,only youtube
looks pretty busy and lotsa room for slop

I have used my PW200 for many years.
Yes, it is designed for pistol case, thus the P designation.
You can prime ,powder, seat boolits and crimp small rifle cases on it if you resize them elsewhere.
There is NO slop in mine. The press has a VERY positive detent at each station to prevent slop.
I load 9MM, 40S&W, and 45 ACP on mine.
I am using 700X for each of these calibers since I was given 15# of it and find the RCBS Little Dandy measure mounted on it to be the most accurate with this fluffy powder.
$125 seems a good price for the press.....dale
picked up one at LGS 75.00
having fun loading 38 special and 45 ACP.
needed cleaned and lubed like how it works.
PW recently dropped them from their lineup. The Metallic-II is currently their only metallic cartridge press (I just bought one).
Get a P200 elsewhere while you can.

That video is an example of a Very inefficient use of a manual turret press and just spreads more ignorance about how to use them and their intended design.

you want me to call him a retard in the comment section ?
looks like he was doing it as he chose...what is inefficient about that?
why is your way better?

That's the 375, modified for metallic. I noticed that P/W pulled it off their website. I believe I can buy threaded turrets and the modified shell holder needed to convert my shotshell press. It may be a little more than that but it would be close.
I wonder how how tight the die spacing is? I would like to use Forster/Sinclair lock rings where possible.
The 375 is my favorite shotshell press. I can hold two sets of shotshell dies in one head minus the 10 gauge in its own dedicated head. A very versatile press.
take care

I have been using one for a long time. Very useful but don't care for the way the shell holder is held. Shame to read it is no longer made but understandable.
Two ways to Efficiently use that machine.
One is to size and deprime all your cases then tumble them, and then Prime them on the machine, Drop Powder(same station), seat bullet and crimp each round.
The other way is to tumble the cases first and then run them thru the machine from one end to the other completing each round before moving to the next. This is the most efficient use of the machine.
On any type of turret based machine (Turret Lathes or Drills too) the intention is that one revolution of the turret completes all operations to one part.
On this machine the turret is stationary and it has a "shuttle" to move the cartridge from station to station. However the principle is the same. Start at the right and move the case thru the stations yielding one completed reloaded round at the end.
The PW MetalMatic II works exactly the same way except it is a bigger machine designed to load full sized rifle cartridges.
Since I pre prep my Rifle rounds and need to feel the primers seat I prep, tumble, and prime the cases first. Then charge, seat bullet and crimp in three quick steps on the MMII. I could size deprime, charge and seat and crimp from beginning to end also I just choose to prep my brass first to produce better looking ammo than simply reloading dirty brass. I also don't want to deal with case lube on loaded rounds. That's just me.
You could do the same thing with the smaller machine however it would kind of be a waste with 9mm,.40's or .45's as they can be reloaded more efficiently just running them thru after tumbling as there is nothing to be gained by dropping steps and doing them elsewhere, and a lot to lose time wise for no gain in performance.
I do my Pistol cases on a Dillon anyway, and tumble first and then completely reload clean cases. This machine really should be used the same way to get your monies worth out of it.
But,,, you do have the option of using it anyway you want. If you don't tell anyone, nobody will call you stupid.
