keithkilvo1 Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I am looking to start reloading for 28gauge and wondered if there are any do and don’t I should be looking out for regarding getting the correct kit together to make a start. I would need to be able to reload a few hundred cartridges in a reasonable time so what’s the recommended equipment to carry this out. I would predominantly be using fibre wad Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spower Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I'm using a PW 375 to reload for my 28ga and the reloads it produces are brilliant. Have a Mec Sizemaster for reloading my .410 and, whilst a very good machine, not having the full sizing collar that the PW has means that the case plastic isn't being resized after they have been swelled by the fibre wad. I'm probably going to sell the sizemaster and buy the tooling to reload .410 on my 375. It's not the fastest of machines but the quality and consistentency of the shells it produces are brilliant. I only use single stage machines myself so can't comment on any of the progressive machines. 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Your budget will dictate the machines in your range. Best I've used is the OMV range, fast and turn out same as factory carts. Lots of people use the mec machines as they load well for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used one many moons ago in the 70s to load 12 gauge for our force clay team practise and it produced shells equal to any factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that’s the one I was watching the 375/375C, operation seems simple just need to set it up correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I was very fortunate to get one at a great price from a good reloading friend, it is rather rare they come up second hand unfortunately. 5 minutes ago, keithkilvo1 said: Yes that’s the one I was watching the 375/375C, operation seems simple just need to set it up correctly Yeah a little more tricky to get set up but once done it puts out exceptional finished shells time after time. Put a wanted ad out on here and keep trawling ebay and the likes and one might come up 🤞🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
