doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Slightly OT, PW 800B Loader??

I have a set of 12 gauge aluminum bushings from an older Pacific single stage 12 ga. loader, I can give you specifics as to powder drop (Red Dot) and believe the shot is for 1 and 1/8 oz. can also "mike them" to see if they'd fit your Posness-Warren "stepchild" loader. I gave up handloading shotgun shells about 6 years ago- sold the loader to a gun club pal who shoots SC big time- I used to get about 8-9 reloads per AA hull before they'd split at the crimp area-RWTF

Runs WTF,
It sounds like you should get rid of that old HE.
Those tight chambers could be dangerous. I would be happy to take the gun off your hands.

Thanks for the info, Chuck, but since I own six of them, I'm pretty much up on selling prices. Can you help me with the question I asked?

Thanks for the kind thought-I am impressed with the only Fox I own-and most likely ever will-my Grandfather had two graded 12 bore Parkers and his hunting partner owned a DE 12 bore Phila. Fox-I thought it was a much more handsome gun than the Parkers- straight grip- two triggers and that Fox was so well fitted- it would not close on some Remington paper hulls-but the Remingtons would work just fine in the Parker-my Grandfather was a tool maker- so he "miked" the head dias. of the Remington hulls- and compared them to some Federal and Winchester paper shells- the Remingtons from that particular box were 0.0025" larger in dia. than ther others now that is "gun-fitting". I bought mine about 15 years ago for $650.00 (dealer was asking $800.00) mfg. 1927-( I got a letter from Roe Clark)I believe from reading Mike's book on the Fox that it has the Becker Barrels- they are stamped Not Guaranteed- which has to do with patterns-I've shot Bismuth, Steel, lead and even Hevi-Shot hulls- 2&3/4" and 3" in it-and I like the tight patterns-I like to see birds "fold up and swap ends" in the air when well centered-just like I like to see a Montana mulie drop stone dead from a boiler room shot from a M70 30-06 with an 180 grain Core-Lokt- like my hero (Nash B.) I am a 12 ga. gunner-- I can handle its weight and great balance-I installed a Pachmayr solid red pad with one spacer-I like a 14 and 13/16" LOP on a field double- but for waterfowl I go a bit shorter in LOP- as I am wearing heavier clothing normally-Thanks for your interest- I have a pal with an Utica Sterlingworth 30" 3" mag 12 bore- DT and AE- most likely NOT a Becker bored Fox-he might be interested in hearing your offer-advise and I'll see what I can do for you in getting a "Big 'Un"- RWTF

RWTF,
So we don't hijack the thread anymore you can shoot me an email at jrlee@srv.net
Or your friend can esil me.
Thanks

Birdawg, I went to my favorite dogeared Webster's Ninth Collegiate and looked up "hijack thread" and guess whose picture I saw. Quite a distinguished looking character he is.

Thanks Bill, I needed that

I would go along with the suggestion to get a manual. Always helpful to have one. I always use WD-40 when I clean mine instead of a thicker oil. WD-40 is n't much of a lubricant but it is a great cleaner. And it has enough lubricant to work well. Good luck with your new machine.

Thanks again for the info, I have a lifetime collection of Pacific/Hornady bushings so I'm in good shape there.This machine
does not have the easy change adapter for changing bushings however I likely will only use it for my favourite 1 oz. sporting clays load anyway.It does require a certain amount of concentration not to screw up the cycle of hull/crank/wad/crank etc. while watching that the primers are feeding properly. Have to leave the Newcastle
Brown until after the loading session...

Bill,
I dunno where you live, but from somewhere around your neck of the woods to PW would be $60-70
