MEC 600Jr and inflation

[J. A. EARLY]

I go to Craigslist and type in MEC pretty often. Picked up 60 pounds of shot, 2000 primers, 1/2 pound of powder, 1000 wads, 100 hulls, a brand new powder scale still in the box, and a brand new 9000 20 gauge with all of the improved features (tilting primer tray so it will stop dropping primers when you finish up the rounds being processed) for $400. Really got the 9000 for almost nothing, maybe $100. Makes 7/8 ounce loads flawlessly.

But it happens to our toys when old farts like us die.

About $255 for the 600 JR other places. I am guessing Cabelas has the price tag of a higher grade reloader on it.

Made my weekly pass thru the reloading stuff I watch on Ebay, lots of clean, one owner MEC rigs for sale. Several models and multi gauges from cheap to ridicules. I'm always amazed at what some items are valued at.

Not so much at where the items are priced/valued. It's all what some dupe is willing to pay for the items.

Takes a lot of mullet to feed a shark!

That’s no lie!

I just had a .410 600 JR given to me by a club member. This is good because my two PW 800Bs are pretty permanently broken down after more than forty years of service. However, a free 600 JR is not as good a deal as you think. If you shoot a dozen different .410s, you need to size the shells and a Supersizer by MEC is not a cheap item. I guess I'll find out which of my .410s have tight chambers.

Whats wrong with the sizer on the 600 Jr.? It does a decent job.

If you want a .410 Super Sizer find a used 12 which are relatively cheap and buy the conversion kit. I found a couple for $25 each and did that to them.
