I'm fixin to get ready to start reloadin for this year's cowboy shoots. I usually only load enough for one match at a time. Youall helped me out a lot when I first got into it and I know you told me not to get the Lee Load-all but I did anyhow. LMAO
Well it does fine but it's slow. I get tired of movin that little red hull so many times.
So.... How bout at air MEC 8567? The MEC 650N looks good but don't resize. I gotta stuff them babies in and shuck'em back out as fast as I can when that timers a runnin.

I only need 60 shells a month for 2 shoots.

Our first match of the year is next Saturday so I'll drag out that Lee, but I'm thinkin about up-gradin.

Also, I do like those Downrange wads. They shore keep my TTN barrels clean.

and it's good to see You, My Friend!
There's 2 of those machines going on EBay this mornin. 1 is kinda rusty but has a lot of extras. 187 and 204 right now. I think that's a pretty good deal.
Connie's Components sells them for 340 but they are out of that model.

fleas out down there yet? LOL It's been a long Cold winter here. But it's 56 right now! I couldn't imagine what is't like up nawth. Later!

The MEC 650 or size-matic is the top of the line reloader if your not in a hurry and want to make the top of the line amno . Mine has the case resizer built in and for auto loaders and cowboy side by side shotgun you will need that tool . MEC sells a resizer tool by it self also . I've loaded over 50,000 shot shells in my life and try other brand and MEC is stuff is king .

Here is my pick for SASS/CAS shooters http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/de ... ber=438022

Its out of stock, if your only using 2 box's a month it would be cheaper to buy. I buy Remington Nitro# 27's love them. easy clean up. for what I would save on reloading my own to me isn't worth the trouble, shot is still high. As long as its over 18 bucks a 25 bag I am not reloading it.

The nitro #27 kick twice as hard as my cowboy loads . I load 3/4 of a oz of # 6 or # 7 1/2 shot in 12 ga AA hulls with 13 grs of Unique around 1000 fps and my pattern is very tight in cylinder bore guns . This is a good load for someone with a bad shoulder or sit down to pee . Where you really save money is in mag loads , you can load them up at 1/2 the shelf price easy . If you go on line you can find the the MEC loader $50 to $100 cheaper then Midway . I posted the paste so you can read the reviews and get some infor on the loader not buy it from them ......

Howdy Snuffy, I need to reload just to reduce the recoil. And I don't want a 650 cause if I have to move the shell around for each process, I'll just keep the Lee and their website says it doesn't resize.

I have two mec 600 jrs they are pretty lite and easy to move. And TRG is right you can look around and find one pretty cheap, 12 ga and 20 easy to find most times. I am thinking of reloading 410 as the cost is way high and would pay for its self fast. But not having much lucking finding a used mec 600 jr.
