Question on Ponsness Warren loaders

[RussellD]

Many years ago- (around 1984) one of my reloading mentors introduced me to Ponsness Warren reloader that loaded metallic cartridges. We used it to load .38 special and .45.

Over the years I have never seen another one of these machines. Can anyone tell me which model this was?

thanks

P/W Metallic.... or maybe the Metal-matic.

p/w reloader

I have a P/W model p-200 metal-matic that i got about the same time.It is what I guess you would call a semi progressive as you have to manually move the case to each station.The only thing you need to change calibers is a shellholder(it uses standard shellholders) and dies.Not as fast as a progressive(about 150-200 rounds per hour) but a lot less expensive to change calibers.
