I have an old Pacific 266 and a couple of 155's. I have the 800 Plus. I bought it 5 years ago and I have loaded 16,650 shells through it according to the counter on it. I can do 28ga, 20ga, and 12ga with it. That’s the greatest feature of the 800 Plus, the ability to do multiple gauges. I bought it set up for 12ga and about a year later I bought the 20 & 28 ga kits, it takes about 10 minutes to switch gauges. I have wore out 3 Mec loaders, last one was a Grabber, so I figured it was time to buy a loader that would last me the rest of my life. I have friends that shoot as much as I do and they have been using P/W loaders for 30-40 years Edited June 8, 2021 by 01RUBY500 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have friends that shoot as much as I do and they have been using P/W loaders for 30-40 years Those 800's are nice. Dad had 12 and 20 gauge to set up on one toolhead for his 375, and he picked me up a set of 16 gauge dies when I started shooting a 16 as a teenager. I bought a spare toolhead not too long ago and will likely get 410 dies at some point, although I doubt I load a lot of 410. I just figure as long as I have 1/2 of a toolhead I might as well set it up for something I have. Don't have a 28. They're sweet shooting little guns, but haven't ever picked one up. I grew up loading on a Pacific 266 that belonged to a friend's grandfather. Not a very fast machine, but a really simple, durable, well thought out single stage. I found one on ebay a few months ago that was priced right and picked it up. I'll probably set it up for 12 ga 3" loads so I load duck loads on it. He had a 366 too, that was a nice progressive, but we weren't smart or patient enough to get it set up right, so we usually loaded on the 266. Never thought much of the MEC loaders. They work, but always looked almost disposable to me compared to the old 266 and 366 I learned on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bighanded 1,235 Posted June 14, 2021 made this investment 2 christmas's ago. Flux Defense MP17. it meant purchasing the Sig M17, the flux brace system, the Delta optics and a Streamlight. also meant buying a fist full of spare 21rd mags and a couple cases of 9mm, since my primary pistol cal has always been 45 for my 1911s. no regrets at having gotten into this incredible system the market has started to calm down a bit and last month I was able to grab the Sig M18 as the sidearm to this rig, so the mags are common.

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted June 14, 2021 Over the weekend a buddy brought over a gun that he wants to sell , it was his Dad's gun , he never fired it as he doesn't even know what caliper it is , there is no name on the gun of manufacturer , lots of numbers and letters , no caliper marking , it is bolt action , the wood of the stock goes all the way to the end of the barrel , 5 shot bottom load mag , forward sight is a fold up with an adjustable sliding sight , one of my buddy's who is pretty knowledgeable with guns says it is a 303 British rifle --- I can buy this gun for $200 , is it worth any thing ?? This pic is not the actual gun , the stock has been cut to that metal ban on top and bottom of the barrel , exposing the barrel , would think that hurt the value Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem, of course, for the feds is they simply don't have the manpower to enforce nationwide without the aid of local LEO. They will, of course, go in and make examples of people to attempt to rule by fear. Kansas passed a similar bill, and a man there was still arrested by feds and charged for having an unregistered suppressor. They can pick one of here and there, but without the aid of local LEO, it will be an uphill battle for them and they'll be spread thin. Arkansas had a decent version of this bill, but our statist pos governor asa hutchinson vetoed it, so a very watered down version passed. The original would have penalized state and local LEO for enforcing fed gun laws passed after Jan 1, 2021. The watered down version removed that penalty, among other key components, pretty much making the bill nothing but a dog and pony show. What we need are state and local LEO ARRESTING feds for attempting to enforce unconstitutional laws. The feds regulate interstate commerce. If a firearm is made in a particular state and does not leave that state there is no interstate commerce and the feds have no jurisdiction in the matter.
