A pressing question
« on: June 10, 2006, 04:01:30 PM »
Hi Guys. I have the opportunity to purchase a Ponsness/Warren Metal-Matic P-200 press very reasonably. I was wondering if any of you had any experience with this unit. My hesitation is that the press is designed for straight wall cartridges and I am reloading 22 hornet and 223 rem. Any suggestions or advice would be very helpfull Thanks. Later, Stu

P-W is the top of the line in shotgun presses but if you want to load centerfire metallic cases you'd do better with a brand more specific to the task in my opinion. RCBS, Hornady, Redding, Lyman those are the names I'd be looking for.
