Mec loader? If so, what model?

I bought an old, old, made before 82 Mec 600. I replaced some of the obsolete parts with new and it works fine. I just don't know how to crimp I guess.

Is that for thr Tightgroup load ? I run a 26 with 700x , ain't meet but 1 set of KDs that it will not take down , them are JUNK , I have a special load that I use on that stage , :o

When I let em off , they go BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM , got that load mixed up and was hitting the targeets so hard they were resetting from the INPACT :D

I have plans to blow them into the next county :P

Hey Badger, here's a link to some manuals. They do a pretty good job of describing the crimp process and settings. Be sure note what kind of crimp you have -- 6 or 8 point. Most hulls are 8-point these days. If you try to use the 6-point on an 8-point, it'll bugger up the hulls.

Also, be sure to weigh your powder charge. The bushing chart is a guide only. I've found my powder charges to vary from the chart.

 

Good luck!

Thanks for the link. I do have a hard copy of that manual and am using it. I will weigh the powder charge on a statistical basis. Keep my RCBS 10/10 scale busy. :)

I will give the class a report on the scientific achievement my endeavors. :) Yeah, right.

7/8 oz 7.5 shot and 15 gr universal powder is more than enough and still a nice light load !

GOD BLESS THE USA !!!

I already have all of the components for reloading. All I need to do is adjust the press.

 

I suppose that once I get it to work the way I want it, I will tinker it to death.

 

As long as when I pull both triggers together and it goes pop, I'm good. I just like to

scare Okie and Dynamite some. :lol:
