Stan, everything I did on this 28ga press, could be done on any other gauge progressive press. The steps necessary to change the inner and outer relationship of the crimp die could be accomplished very inexpensively by the vendor MEC uses to make the part by a very simple modification to the injection molding die it is made from. This modification wouldn’t change the injection molding die permanently. It would make crimp die’s for both sizes.
In the end, I’m not sure MEC would acknowledge that there are enough customers interested in loading 2 1/2” shells.
