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.
Edgar, you could make those crimp dies and sell them as an aftermarket item to the progressive presses. MEC, PW, Spolar, Pacific, Hornady......
