8, 10, 12, 20 and a 16 gauge loader ready for its first use!

I load short 10's, 12 ga, 16 ga, 20 ga and 410, plus rifle and pistol ammo. Started loading 12 ga on my MEC in 1969.

I have Mec 600 jr's in 12 , 16, and 20. Loading shells is kind of relaxing( yeah, and sometimes frustrating). It allows me to have more "quality time" with my 3 setters who stay in the garage. They jockey for posistion to see who can be the closest to me, so there are lots of breaks for ear scratchin' and ball throwin'. Also have a Bose MiniLink sound system that links to smart phones and produces a tremendous sound while reloading.

Currently am loading 12 and 20 but have loaded 10 and 16 in the past. Started loading shotshells in 1962 on a Lee hand, and I mean hand, loader. It took quite a while to pound out a box of shells. No plastic wads available then and paper hulls with cardboard and fiber wads. Hulls were hard to come by in those days so I used to shoot them till I saw the first pin hole just above the brass head. Then, reluctantly, to the trash they went.

2 1/2" 12 & 16ga.
2 3/4" 20 ga.

14 different center fire rifle cartridges from 25-20 Win. to 450-400 NE

So drive to PA once or twice a year and buy the shells and transport in your own vehicle !

Edger: 450-400 NE? Do you hunt dangerous game or just gluten for punishment as mama used to say?

SHHHHH :rotf::rotf:

other than shooting with friends of course -why do you think I was disappointed about missing Hausmanns last year

8 10 12 and my latest project is 16ga pin fire. I cant remember all the rifle cartridges off the top of my head but like edger 450/400 3'Ne and 500/450 no2 musket, 416 rigby,50/90 sharps 45/70 and on and on.

Cool thread Pete.

12 and 10 gauge. I enjoy reloading short 10 the most.
